Why the Keys of a Keyboard Are Not in Right Order?
why the keys of a keyboard are not in right order?
Depends on what you think is the "right order" The reason we have QWERTY organization goes back to early mechanical typewriters. Fast typists could easily jam up the mechanism, so the letters were rearranged to slow them down. There have been many alternatives over the years, the Dvorak layout being most commonly found. It's been shown to allow for faster typing, but it takes significant learning and finding a keyboard in that arrangement, or software that will remap the keyboard.

What product should i use to clean my laptop keyboard?
Compressed air to clean the crumbs and bits out. With the laptop turned off, turn it upside down so stuff falls out before you use compressed air. You can also remove the keyboard too but make sure you know how to put it back on. If the keys are dirty from skin oils and food, etc. use cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol. Do not use anything that leaves a residue or your keys will stick

Jank keyboard
The Jank keyboard is a musical keyboard layout for a piano designed by Paul von Jank, a Hungarian pianist and engineer, in 1882. It was designed to overcome two limitations on the traditional piano keyboard: the large-scale geometry of the keys (stretching beyond a ninth, or even an octave, can be difficult or impossible for pianists with small hands), and the fact that each scale has to be fingered differently. Instead of a single row, the Jank keyboard has an array of keys consisting of two interleaved manuals with three touch-points for every key lever, making six rows of keys. Each vertical column of three keys is a semitone away from the neighboring ones, which are in the alternate rows. Thus within each row the interval from one note to the next is a whole step. This key layout results in each chord and scale having the same shape on the keyboard with the same fingerings regardless of key, so there is no change in geometry when transposing music. Furthermore, the use of multiple rows allows the pianist to more naturally follow the contour of their hand and accounts for the different lengths of the fingers. The configuration retains the colouring of traditional keyboards (white naturals, black sharps and flats) for pedagogical purposes. For an 88-note (full size) keyboard, there would be 264 keys in total, with each note playable by three keys in vertical alignment. In the picture above, the white keys have been coloured to show how the keys are interconnected. Instead of 123 cm (48 in) the keyboard is only 89 cm (35 in) wide, and the smaller key size allows reaching wider intervals. The Jank Keyboard caused a stir at the time of its invention, in large part due to its unique look and the intelligent design behind the keyboard. American piano manufacturer Decker Brothers put the keyboard into production around 1891, and the Paul de Janko Conservatory of Music was established in New York around the same time. There was even a manual written by W. Bradley Keeler called How to Play the New Keyboard. Despite all this, the Jank keyboard never achieved wide popularity. Music educators were not convinced that the benefits of the new keyboard were enough to challenge the traditional keyboard. Both reasons left keyboard instrument manufacturers afraid to invest in a redesigned keyboard which promised to have only marginal commercial success. Many embodiments of this keyboard have appeared since its conception. Jank himself (in German patent 25852, dated 14 January 1884) originally chose a key shape which resembled the slim, black keys on the familiar piano keyboard. A year later (in German patent 32138, dated 1 July 1885) the keys became wider and shorter. Other inventors have filed patents for keyboards which are substantially similar to his design, differing most often in key shape or instrument to which those keyboards are affixed. (For example: John Trotter English Patent 3404, 4 March 1811, William A. B. Lunn devised in 1843 under the name of Arthur Wallbridge a sequential keyboard with two parallel rows of keys, each in whole tones. Miguel Theodore de Folly, 1845,Useful Registered Design Number 448 for a geometrical keyboard for the pianoforte, Gould and Marsh , Edgar , Cramer , McChesney , Stewart , Adams , Nordb , Barnett , Reuther , and Firestone .) The most recent patents are for MIDI compatible instruments.
