In 1882, Remington released the ''Remington Standard Type-Writer No. 2'' with a slightly changed QWERTY layout so that they could avoid having to pay royalties to Sholes and his partners.
The letters '''X''' and '''C''' were swapped and the '''M''' key was moved down a row - resulting in the letter layout that still persists today.

Remington produced several variations with different symbols on shifted keys.
On later revisions, the [[shift key]]s were labeled "SHIFT KEY".
