This grading scale takes into consideration the position of the keys, the strength of and length of the fingers and the staggered nature of the keyboard.



It's different from QWERTY Comfortable, ergonomic, and efficient -- frequent keys are placed within the natural range of motion of the fingers Reduced lateral movement of the fingers and wrists Very, very low overall finger travel Reduced load on the right pinky compared to Dvorak and Colemak More balanced left and right hand usage compared to Dvorak and Colemak High same hand utilization and plenty of easy combos Common English bigrams are easy to type ZXCV shortcuts are still accessible with one hand Capslock is Backspace (linux only) Shift+Capslock is Escape (linux only) Only 21 characters are different from QWERTY as opposed to 31 for Dvorak Not as intimidating or "alien" looking as other alternatives Available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux



Typing in itself is an unnatural and hazardous task and no keyboard layout could prevent injury without proper precautions and common sense.
