Elsewhere, others chimed in with their own keyboard facts, including one TikTok user who shared: "Fun fact: QWERTY style layout exists because people typed too fast and the typewriter would get jammed up - so they spread out the most common used letters.".
Delving further into the past, Ryan also showcased his 1983 Commodore 64 keyboard, which also features the Shift key.
"Look," Ryan said, tapping its Shift key, "Let me take the cover off and I'll show you something really cool."
A third confessed to finding the video enlightening, writing: "I thought shift means shifting between two sets of keys, but i didn't know it's LITTERALY shifting between the sets.".
