Dvorak keyboard

Developed in 1936 and patented May 12, 1936, the Dvorak keyboard has all vowels and punctuation marks on the left side of the keyboard and consonants on the right side. Because of the placement of the keys on the home row and the adaption of the letters to the English language many users who use the Dvorak keyboard will type faster than users using the QWERTY keyboard. Below is a picture of the layout of a Dvorak keyboard.
