well, considering that I have a qwerty at work, and may have a dvorak at home - that may be a bad combination. I wonder how many weeks it would take for me to learn dvorak if I'm using qwerty for 5 hrs a day already. Hm. Maybe I should convert both, eh.
Well, I'm convinced that I should at least try Dvorak now.. any references on where I can get some preferrably freeware code to convert my MS natural Qwerty/Win NT to this without buying new hardware? Whats XF86 anyhow..
I'm glad to see this discussion on ergonomic keyboards. I've got a old M$ natural keyboard at work which I really like, but want one for home too for assorted typing and game playing. I'm also very curious about the Dvorak layout, is it true that once you learn it you can easily switch back and forth between Qwerty and Dvorak?
I'm looking for a site that "rates" keyboards similar to cnet.com or computers.com? I haven't been able to find any. Since so many people reccomend so many different keyboards I'd like to see a set of ratings, although I'm leaning toward the slightly $$ Kinesis one.
