I had no problem with the QWERTY layout — none.
I could touch type without any issue at an average speed of 60–75 WPM with above 95% accuracy.

Why did I switch to a different keyboard layout?

Short answer: out of curiosity.
I heard it’s a lot more efficient than QWERTY. As we all know, QWERTY was never meant for speed or comfort — we just adopted it.

Here’s the comparison chart.
I don’t know how accurate it is.

My experience

• It took me almost 2 weeks to get used to it.
• After a month, I can type at roughly 60 WPM with 96%+ accuracy.
• I’ve noticed way less finger movement and a slight increase in accuracy.
• Very comfortable for sure as less finger movement.

It has only been a month, so obviously I’ll get better with time.

Also worth nothing: I learned touch typing in QWERTY only about 5–6 month ago.

Some minor issue

• Vim bindings i had to remap it according to my comfort
• Struggle using other people computers as they use QWERTY

they will think i dont know how to type well haha!!

Should anyone switch to a alternate layout

Answer is NO for 95% of computer users. Most people don't even know other layout exist and they dont care not that they should.

Switching to a different layout is not really that big of a difference or major typing boost lot of folks dont even know how to touch type so you know what i mean.

Also most people are so used to typing in Qwerty for years that it becomes really tough to learn a new alternate layout.
In short for most people its not practical.
