The Janko layout does this and has been around since the 1800s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janko_keyboard

I have one, in the form of a Chromatone keyboard (https://chromatone.jp/chromatone/index.html, no longer available). The uniformity does make it harder to play by touch, but it otherwise has a lot of advantages. I have been experimenting with different colours and tactile markers (little rubber feet intended to stick on the bottom of things) but I haven't settled on anything yet.

I have commented on this a few times before: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Others have too, and jacquesm has even built a Janko keyboard retrofit.
