Dvorak keyboards

[Cody574]

That's because you're used to QWERTY, plus you're too ignorant to notice.

Look it up. The Dvorak tried to replace QWERTY, and that would've pissed a lot of people off if it did because people were so used to it. But, it failed because of those reasons.

70% of typing is in the center row of the keyboard. That's the main advantage of learning it.

That being said, I'm not going to bother. QWERTY is too common to replace as of now, so there isn't a point wasting your time on a new layout. As Packer said, you can't use it away from home.

yeah that's true.
But why not learn both :D

You could try learning both, but in my opinion, that would get tricky. Not the actual learning of both, but getting used to being able to do both. If that made sense. What I mean is, I could learn both, and if I set up my keyboard to Dvorak, then I could learn Dvorak, I'd also know Qwerty from my current keyboard. But no doubt, the moment I were to get off of a Dvorak keyboard, and onto a Qwerty one, I would lose all speed, due to being so used to Dvorak. Or Vice-Versa.

Really, I could only learn both, and use both, if I were constantly using both. Like, switching over from Qwerty one day, and Dvorak the next


More-On-Topic; Again, in my opinion, Dvorak looks really complicated and/or cluttered. It just doesn't look like it would be comfortable to use, but no doubt that you could get used to it in time.

I haven't used one yet. Are they worth it?

qwerty owns. you can say spell it without much effort. just run your finger across the front row untill you reach the y

Not that you really bother much with that.

It'll never catch on, ever. The idea of using it is just plain and simple bad, you'll go to use a keyboard away from home and you'll get forgeted over.

its surprisingly easy to switch keyboard layouts on windows.

Ill earn to touch type and Ill be fine.

ERROR: Out of sense

I sure hope you're kidding. My average typing speed on a QWERTY keyboard is 106 WPM, and that's without home row.
That keyboard just looks plain confusing. "Simplified?!" Bahahahahaha!

SO MUCH IGNORANCE!

Listen, for you guys it may not be worth it, but to me it is. I don't want CTS. that's my main reason to change.

[Dippindots]

I type fast.

Easy, bro.

[Snaffle J. Bean]

Call me blind, but I don't really see any difference between the Dvorak keyboard and the one I'm using now.

Can someone point it out for me?

[TheLegomaster]

I'm sticking to my good 'ol qwerty.
