The QWERTY keyboard layout was designed in the 19th century for early typewriters. It was patented by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1878 and became the standard layout after being adopted by Remington typewriters. The arrangement of keys was intended to prevent mechanical jams by spacing out commonly used letter pairs. Despite the emergence of alternative layouts like Dvorak and Colemak, QWERTY remains the most widely used keyboard configuration worldwide, found on computers, smartphones, and other devices.
