When was the QWERTY keyboard was established?

Everyone seems to be saying: Invented in 1868, but established in 1873.

No end date stated.

  • The comp has a link for a clue. I believe that is the answer they are looking for :)

    1873

    Sholes and Glidden typewriter (also known as Remington No. 1) is released with the first QWERTY keyboard. The original keyboard layout had a period in the place of an R. When Remington and Sons purchased the designs from the invention, they moved the R button to the period’s position. This layout is still used on modern computers today.
    To err is human, but to really mess things up you need a computer.
