Who designed the keboard and decoded to make the alphabet out of order?

The original typewriter keyboard listed the letters in alphabetical order. However fast typists were able to cause frequent hammer clash jams. When 2 or more hammers clashed, they locked together, requiring the typist stop and untangle the jammed hammers. The keyboard was rearranged in the US to the QWERTY format to place frequently used letters in English spelling apart to reduce the chance of hammer clash jams. Purely a mechanical decision. IIRC, a typewriter experimenter/designer named Sholes developed the QWERTY layout in 1873, after which he sold his patents to Remington.


Who discovered the computer keyboad?

Depends on WHICH keyboard you're asking about. Christopher Latham Sholes invented the QWERTY keyboard in 1875 when he produced the first commercial typewriter. The name of QWERTY derives from the first six characters on the top alphabetic line of the keyboard. the order of the keyboard consists of the letters you use most on the homerow (asdfghjkl;) But there were other keyboards ahead of that. Piano keyboards for instance. And straight off alphabetical keyboards.
