It's on the OTHER SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD ROFL The "easy" solution would be customizing the hotkeys to bind the necessary units to whatever place you're used to (as playing T on qwerty for example). Yeah, it does sound like a lot of effort, I'm way too used to qwerty now and while I'm not dronebabo type-o-machine, I can type with sufficient speed (or so I think). And I didn't die of exhaustion yet either  | ||

Also, for every study showing that dvorak is more efficient, there's one showing otherwise. you can toggle ezly in XP approximately 1 min | ||

I might be on board to try that. Sounds like a good way to develop arthritis. Thats my main concern. | ||

Dvorak is better than qwerty, but still horrible, and it's not standard, too. So basically, dvorak is kinda useless. To me switching from qwerty to dvorak instead of colemak is akin to switching from windows to mac. Windows is a crap OS and the only thing it has going for it is that it is everywhere, and most software is developed for windows. Linux is a decent OS but sometimes you can't run your windows software on it. Mac is better than windows, but still horrible, and you can also not run your windows software on it, so it's practically useless. Just like dvorak.

The first few months of typing in colemak, I was completely unable to use qwerty. After becoming decently fast in colemak, I relearned qwerty, and I can now type comfortably in both layouts. I'm still not quite as fast in qwerty as I used to be, but I am now faster in colemak than I ever was in qwerty, so that's ok. I tried to learn another layout, on top of qwerty and colemak, but it was impossible to be fast in all three, so I gave up. Nearly every key was different from qwerty and colemak and the more keys are different the harder it is for the layout to coexist among others in your brain. Qwerty and colemak are fortunately fairly similar. On a side note, obviously you will still play starcraft in qwerty, there is no advantage to relearn all the hotkeys in starcraft for colemak, only to be screwed over when you have to use somebody else's PC. Try out colemak http://blite.iki.fi/lab/alternative-keyboard-layouts/colemak Or dvorak: http://blite.iki.fi/lab/alternative-keyboard-layouts/dvorak | ||

What if you want to type messages in game? You'll either have to do it in qwerty or switch layouts, type, and switch back. I learned on a keyboard that actually had a button to switch between qwerty/dvorak and gaming was still too much of a hassle to bother with it. | ||

This is basically my attitude as well except I'm slightly less at 120 wpm However nothing wrong with typing faster, I would switch if I was able to switch every computer I would use at school to dvorak | ||
