PLUM is a keyboard layout that came with the ortholinear PLUM keyboard, which was sold between 2003 and 2012. It was marketed as a more ergonomic alternative to QWERTY. Despite its marketing as better than QWERTY, and its clever mnemonic key arrangement that spells out PLUM READ ON THIS, its bigram and trigram stats are similar to QWERTY, and its finger usage is highly unbalanced.
