The mass Dvorak switching thread!
 

I've just switched my keyboard to the dvorak layout, and thus far i am quite pleased, even if my typing is a little slower in the interim.

I propose that everyone who likes to live on the edge and try new things to join me! We can vent our frustrations in this thread.

Viva La Revolution!

I don't understand why you would want to do this.

I like my Qwerty.

qwerty is supposed to slow you down yes, dvorak is technically better

I'd go dvorak if I didn't have to use QWERTY most days at school/college.

Why would you change your keyboard? You must be bored.

Have you physically removed the keys and swapped them around to match the Dvorak configuration, too?

y..yes... But not on my laptop, that would be a bitch

my roomate uses dvorjak. It's a bitch trying to use his computer

I don't like change.

Maybe he's just a really really really big fan of the New World Symphony.

Hahaha my thoughts too

No I already made that joke by spelling it with a J like it sounds

haha lol funny ar-raven

Looking from the picture, I'd be spelling my name like a monkey. LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT. I'd feel stupid.

Takes a SHIT on AZERTY. And QWERTZ, while we're at it.

kayl proberbly just wanted to show how educated and cultured he is, again

It's hard to hide, really.

what? It's a complete key reshuffle

it makes it so that, once learned, your hands will use the middle row the most, which means your hands move less, you can type faster and the hand usage is more Left/right/left/right.

Think it's a great idea in terms of faster less straining typing, but I just realised that if I switched to dvorak, all my Adobe programs will be so much harder to use, because most of the shortcut keys I'm very used to and they are in logical places.

Also you'd have to reconfigure the keys for every game you play
