I only just started but I prefer the Russian keyboard layout because: -
(1) For the same price as a QWERTY keboard your can have a mixed ЙЦУКЕН (or whatever it is called) keyboard, or for 5 quid you can have decent stick on letters - for my laptop - works great.
(2) You can use a Russian keyboard.
(3) The phonetic approach is not so easy "я" is 'q'; "ж" is 'v'; "ц" is 'c' - ahx it's horrible!
(4) My guess is that there is a reason for the QWERTY and ЙЦУКЕН layouts in terms of typing effectiveness, not that I can type for toffee but does anybody know :?:
