Any dvorak users?

Is there anyone here using the dvorak keyboard? I decided to try it out and wanted to know what you guys think of it. Is it easier/faster to type with than QWERTY?

If you have been using a QWERTY keyboard your whole life and already know how to type on it why switch? QWERTY seems to work just fine.

I have heard of them, but I agree with the above post, I am used to QWERTY, have been using it for near 13 years and still no carpal tunnel or any other issues to report.

I wouldn't feel like getting used to the different keys layout...

I've tried a right handed one.
I felt that in the long run it would probably be better than the Qwerty keyboard.
But first you need to learn the new key layout and then remembering to switch between Qwerty & Dvorak layout depending on keyboard being used.

Than again I lost my left arm to a Tiger and Dvorak keyboards are designed for single handed use.

The one I realy did like was a bowl shaped one.
I could reach all the keys without moving my hand.
But at over £250 a go it was a little bit much for what I need it for.

Luck.............

is dvorak the one used by the military or something?

I think it's supposed to put less strain on your fingers since the common keys are closer together, less chance of getting carpal tunnel. And I think you can type faster if you get good with it.
