Well this is an ambiguous answer but is on track. It has been found that the current QWERTY layout of the keyboard is optimised for humans when processing information:
The QWERTY design is based on a layout created by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1873 in Milwaukee
there are some contemporary alternatives:
instead having the sequence "DHIATENSOR" in the home row, these 10 letters being capable of composing 70% of the words in the English language. but to date they have not been widley adopted
Hope you are doing well.....
The layout of the computer keyboard was borrowed from the typewriter because there had been millions of people using typewriter when the computer keyboard was designed. To minimize the re-training efforts, most of the keys on the keyboard were at the same position as they did on the typewriter.
When the Remington typewriter was designed in 1877, everything was mechanic. Each character was attached to a type bar. The major problem confronting the designers was that different type bars got stuck with each other when people typing fast. The keys were then arranged in such a way that most frequently used keys were far apart.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
