Yes I remember your keyboard posts, I haven't actually tried using anything other than a "qwerty" setup. How long did it take you to switch? I'm currently on brown keys, i used to be on red which is very light. This dell has very, very heavy keys. I do really like the reds but most of the leds are burn out and it bothers me so I use a cheaper mech with the brows now.
it took me about a week of 2h a day doing typing lessons with the new layout before i could type again without looking and about 3 weeks i was typing faster because it was less strain... dvorak is definitely superior
i'd be willing to modify the layout further if i had a tool that tracks the frequency and sequencing of keypresses to figure out if they could be optimized further, but it's pretty good as it is
Thank's for the info I'm going to consider it. I don't have any strain now but I'm interested in optimisation lol
yeah, i think you may find you don't get much faster but it takes less effort, that's why the pain is reduced
but yeah, i did get faster... before dvorak i was topping out around 65wpm, and i itested recently i'm at 95 nowadays, on the ortholinear fast keys
