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

[Dan.m]

Never heard of dvorak before.

 

[Marky]

Am too used to QWERTY now - wouldn't be any point in me changing as I can type fast as it is.

 

[Logsi]

I'm very keen on trying DVORAK.

Will have to get round to trying it sometime.

 

[danza]

The OP's clearly a freak!

SHUN THE MINORITAH!!



Anyway, I'd hate to think what I'd type like on a different layout to QWERTY.

Imagine a tired, old donkey that gives rides up and down a beach. That's my normal typing pace, compared to some at least.

Now take the same donkey, feed it a gallon of night nurse, break all 4 of its legs, chuck it into the sea and sit the fattest woman you can find on its back. That'd be me typing with a different layout.

I use a QWERTY, I sometimes have to use a QWERTZ keyboard as I live in central europe but it's no biggie.
I don't touch type, I've never found the need to learn really, I did briefly play on something like Mavis Beacon teaches typing ages ago in my early teens but got bored

Alas, this is true

 

[Ziggy]

DVORAK wrote the Hovis tune, right?

 

[Yamahahahahaha]

I looked at Dvorak and Colemak, and would have liked to move to Colemak.

Sadly, trying to find a keyboard with Colemak keys was practically impossible, and I'm not one to faf around with cellotape.

QWERTY is rubbish tbh.

 

[Nitefly]

As a work colleague of mine told me, he subscribes to the 'Praying Mantis school of typing technique'.

I like that very much a lot

Colemak does look like an easier transition from QWERTY than Dvorak. I don't know how it compares in direct comparison though.

Well, the poll results certainly don't tell us much.

 

[miniyazz]

Well, the poll results certainly don't tell us much.

They tell us that I'm the only one in the whole wide world of OcUK GD who uses Dvorak

 

[Andelusion]

ROFL @ poll results.

 

[BigglesPiP]

I took an old keyboard and popped the keys out, changed it to dvorak, but I got frustrated and went back to qwerty.

Edit:
Also presents a scrabble opportunity:

 

[s0ck]

Was recorded @ 87wpm about 10 years ago on qwerty.
I've never even heard of dvorak tbh but I suspect I would be back to single digits on anything other than qwerty0

 

[V4NT0M]

All this thread has achieved is to make me want to play Splinter Cell Chaos Theory again.

 

[TommyTenToes]

Can type over 100wpm on a Qwerty keyboard, no need to change to Dvorak as I can't see it improving much.

 

[kylew]

I still type with two fingers - I've never shifted that bad habit

That's one step past hover typing.

To be honest though, I don't use many fingers whilst typing.

Thumbs and forefingers/index fingers.

 

[Azza]

A what?

 

[TommyTenToes]

Personally I never 'taught' myself to touch type, it just kind of happened while I was using the PC a lot...
