So lately I have had a growing interest in the Dvorak keyboard layout. Does anyone on here use Dvorak instead of Qwerty?

No, but I would have been able to transtition IF the letters were on the same side as qwerty (e.g. "T" can be moved to the home row, but it still needs to be triggered by my left hand).

 

Custom keyboard layouts are where it's at.  Forcing kids to learn, and then stay qwerty is facist!

It looks like it would be tough to get used to but it is supposed to be much more efficient. I'm thinking about swapping over for a weekend and seeing how it goes.

I was going to try it once but my keyboard literally wouldn't support any other layout. The key's wouldn't work.

I would want to try it but I can't be bothered with remapping the keys in every game I decide to play.

I switched for about a week. It was fun but the jump from my home keyboard to the one i have at work was too much. I was thinking about scripting in AHK so i could bring the program over to work but it just wasn't worth it for me. Remember this only makes you a faster typist if you touch type on it. Doing the usual hunt and peck will be the same if not slower in WPM. Hope that helps!
