Default Dvorak Simplified Keyboard

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_keyboard

Does anyone use this? It's basically a superior keyboard layout to QWERTY that reduces hand and finger strain and allows you to increase your speed.



I really wanna make the switch but I can't afford to type like a 2 year old for the year or two it would take me to fully transition.

Try playing a WASD game that has no control mapping options.

The key layout is seldom hard-wired into the keyboard. Most computers already support switching to the dvorak layout. I just typed a sentence trying to use Dvorak, it took me like 4 minutes lol.

No way. I was the best in my class at typing with the QWERTY layout, and I'm staying with it until they can translate my thoughts directly from my brain to the screen

I watched it and it was funny cause they were like "while he was writing an e-mail for 45 mins....this is gonna change the way of typing forever"
