#DvorakKeyboard

2025-04-07

Anyone know a supplier for #dvorak keyboards? I used to buy them from #perixx (German) but it looks like they don’t make them any more.

Yes, I know I can move keycaps around and file the home lumps flat and add ridges to the right keys etc., or add stickers, but happy to buy them too.

Some keyboards have a different switch fitting on the F and J keys. No joke! Found that a few times in the past.

I only need to ‘see’ them when editing because I’m mouse clicking and correcting errors, not touch-typing. (Author)

At the moment I am using a DVORAK, and it has not been easy at all, and it has been very enriching.

As an #emacs and #DvorakKeyboard user, I just swapped ctrl and caps. Not only are the default bindings way more comfortable, but so are all the keyboard shortcuts outside of emacs.

I'm always sad when an application proudly claims “we've added support for the DVORAK layout”.

There *is no singular DVORAK layout anymore* because that defeats the purpose of an ergonomic layout for a given language.

You likely did add support for US DVORAK - the original one - good job, give yourself a pat on the back and then look up *both versions* of the German DVORAK and when you have those look at other languages with their version of DVORAK (Danish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, all 3 Spanish ones, Swedish, Turkish, UK English, …)

It's not as cheap as the small differences between QWERTY, QWERTZ and AZERTY my friend.

@foone
This looks like part of the war on #Dvorak.
What about my P-Y-F-G-C-R-L?

#nitrotype #dvorakKeyboard : I'm getting close to consistent 65-70wpm, which is close to what *was* my qwerty speed 😁​

I've mentioned this before, but is it normal to accidentally type three letters backwards? For example tac instead of cat.

Mostly 3 letter CVC words, but sometimes parts of longer words as well. Very weird.

If it matters, I've been using #DvorakKeyboard layout for decades.

After becoming proficient with a Dvorak keyboard, I find that it slows me down b/c regardless of whether I type on a #dvorak teyboard or #qwerty keyboard, my brain switches to the wrong keyboard forcing me to make corrections often enough that i think the marginal #DvorakKeyboard gains are lost. Any other dvorak users out there?
