Get the John C. Dvorak mug.A typing layout developed in the 1940's and intended to replace the clumsy QWERTY layout, designed in the 19th century to actually slow down typing. The Dvorak layout is far more efficient, allowing a typist to achieve a much faster rate than with QWERTY. There are also one-handed versions of Dvorak, for both the right and left hand.
This is the Dvorak layout:
`~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 { }
'" ,< .> p y f g c r l /? =+ \|
a o e u i d h t n s -_
;: q j k x b m w v z
Any modern computer can be reconfigured to use the Dvorak layout.

Get the dvorak mug.She's the most beautiful girl on the face of the planet. She's pretty, sweet, and is nice to everyone she meets. She loves making friends, but she knows how to throw shade on bitches. If you're an Abby's friend, you can share any secret and tell anything to her. If Abby doesn't like you, she will tell you. She has a pretty ugly boyfriend named Jack, but he makes up for it by being an absolute fucking tank. He loves her more than anything else in this world, and that's because he is the luckiest guy in the world. Abby is the most beautiful girl in the world, but sometimes she needs to be told that and reassured. She is always going to be loved, and she always is giving love. Abby can also be used as a synonym for beautiful, or sexy. i.e. (Ab-I-Gail)

Get the Abby Dvorak mug.Technically the best keyboard. However, no one ever bothers to use it because QWERTY is a much more fun word.
I know a Dvorak keyboard would speed up my typing, but QWERTY... it just sounds so much cooler! I mean, Dvorak? How do you even pronounce that?
