Important PointsA QWERTY keyboard is a popular keyboard layout for Latin-script alphabets. QWERTY simply refers to the arrangement of the letters on the keyboard and is named after the first six characters located on the top left row of letters. It is a standard English-language typewriter or computer keyboard on which the first six letters of the second row are q, w, e, r, t, and y QWERTY may not have had the most sensible keyboard arrangement, but it had the advantage that it had been out longer than most other designs. On a standard QWERTY keyboard, key 'A' is located immediately below the 'Q' key.
