Poll: Who uses Dvorak keyboard layout? - Poll please!

[Mr. Anderson]

My wireless keyboard that I got for cheap came from Germany. I have a Qwertz keyboard

Although windows doesn't recognise it as a Qwertz keyboard, I think someone was having a laugh and changing the keys tbh!

I almost went to a Dvorak style keyboard but then decided i couldn't be bothered and i don't do that much typing anyway.

Also I only use 6 fingers to type My index and middle from each hand for the majority of typing my right thumb for the space bar and my left little finger for shift

Your speed was: 44wpm.

You made 3 mistakes

It also tests how quick you are with both mouse and keyboard!

Your speed was: 6200wpm.

Congratulations! You made no mistakes, practice does make perfect..

QWERTY for me...

Your speed was: 38wpm.

You made 7 mistakes

tbh don't think a change in keyboard layout will help me....

Never heard of DVORAK before this, did the test for a laugh though and got 67wpm, quite surprised at that since I never do much typing.

 

[miniyazz]

Woohoo, we have another Dvorak user, even if he hasn't owned up I'm not alone!

I voted dvorak by accident.

I use nine - I never seem to use my left thumb for some reason

I guess that's another reason Dvorak is better uses more fingers = ↑efficiency, ↓strain, ↑speed I never used that many fingers typing QWERTY I'm sure.

ROFL *facepalm*

You never actually mastered Qwerty then. Seen as qwerty also uses 9/10 fingers. Some nerds would argue that humans don't need 2 thumbs.

That may well be so - although I would argue that QWERTY is much worse laid-out for using all fingers. If restricted to using, say, 4 fingers and a thumb (apart from shift keys and the like), I doubt there'd be much difference between QWERTY and Dvorak at all, including the ease of use/strain arguments.

I do a lot of one handed typing, for example, when eating a burger, or writing a novel.

Then QWERTY wins

But who writes a novel one-handed?

I some how suspect it's not writing that's making him write one handed.

good one, either he has small hands or the pen he uses is massive!

 

[Mr. Anderson]

I can't be the only one that can type at the same time as writing something surely?
