Keyboard Letter Layout Design

Here we study the efficiency of keyboard key layout (e.g. QWERTY, Dvorak.), and also study layouts of languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Russian, that require special input methods.

Note: for hand health and input efficiency, the most important thing is the physical input device. Buy a keyboard with mechanical key switches first. [see Keyboard Key Switch Mechanisms] The second important thing is efficiency of shortcuts, namely, the key shortcuts layout. [see Design of Keybinding, Key Shortcut, Input System]. The importance of letter layout comes after them.
