Colemak is a keyboard layout which builds upon the QWERTY keyboard layouts but is optimized further for speed typing. It is designed to minimize the number of altered keys from the original layout while being easier to learn than other alternatives such as DVORAK.
Yesterday, I downloaded Colemak from the original website and installed it. My brother couldn't use it and thought that the entire computer was screwed up.

The superior version of the Colemak alternative keyboard layout. The name comes from the relocation of the “D” and “H” keys, + a few minor other ones. In addition to the relocation, the layout has an angle mod on the left hand making it even more ergonomic and comfortable to type on.
Person 1: I’ve been thinking of learning an alternative keyboard layout lately and Colemak has caught my eye, what do you think?
Person: Colemak-DH is way better, never use the default version of Colemak.
