Dvorak Keyboard Layout
Does anyone here currently use this?
If so, please comment here on whether you recommend making the "big switch"!

I'm currently thinking about it, and probably will.

I think Macky, Tyson, and Shelley use Dvorak. I use Colemak. I think Leyan Lo and Ryan Heise also use Colemak. QWERTY sucks.

This is news to me. I looked up both, dvorak and colemak. And they were designed for more effiecient and speed. But I think I'll stick with QWERTY, since I know it.

I have dvorak enabled for my keyboard, although I haven't gotten used to it yet. I have qwerty and dvorak both marked on my keyboard, although I just wrote the dvorak letters on in sharpie, so they are wearing off. If you do switch, its probably still a good idea to make sure you aren't too slow on qwerty.

It still sucks... it was made for typewriters, not keyboards.

I think QWERTY is slow, but since its the default one, alot of people use it, making it popular. And like me they don't know about colemak or dvorak.

I use Dvorak. Remove all the tiles from your keyboard, put them back on in dvorak, change your default input to dvorak, and never turn back.

I just switched.
This is taking forever to type.
