Hi Brad, I have been using Dvorak for about a year and 1/2. Took 3 days to earn and still learning. I do not type all day long, if I did I would be faster. I am 60 years old and needed something new to learn to stay sharp. If I had to use a keyboard that would not change I would not want to learn the Dvorak. I do not move the keys I only change them in software. When others want to use the keyboard I hit cntl 1. I love the Dvorak. Bradley :)
