@scribus I know of a friend of mine who uses the NEO2 layout that they gathered enough people to convince one small manifacturer to produce a small series of NEO2 keyboards. I don't know the name of this.

My brain is dumb today. I just wondered for 2 minutes why 'z' and 'y' is switched on my keyboard. Then I've seen that my localization settings for the keyboard has switched. #derp

@scribus I quite know the feeling. Some friends use dvorak for years. Once I typed on their laptops with misearable results. But more often they used my laptop to quickly search for something on google. They are always confused as hell. I for one has tried dvorak for a short time but haven't got used to.

@scribus unless you happen to have a laptop, in which case it's very easy to rearrange the keys! That's what I did.

@scribus Also, can you type your passwords correctly in both layouts? That was the biggest problem I had with Dvorak, because I learn passwords mostly by feel.

@broniebrown @scribus Ya... the localized point of excellence effect. A good typist on a Dvorak key is much faster than one a good one on a QUERTY, but a bad Dvorak typist is slow. So, if you're like me an 100 wpm on QUERTY, you don't want to drop down even if you'll eventually be 20% coo... faster. Plus, even once you do, the rest of the world is still derped and you'll have hell when you aren't using your own machine.

@scribus I'll stick to QWERTZ. I took typewriting classes. I'm used to the layout. I can type blindly. That's all need (and I'm too lazy to learn a new layout now).

@broniebrown Blind AND Drunk, while staring at the ceiling. Good times... good times.

@artrageous The last time I stopped time the result was about 200 key pressures per minute.

@scribus Dvorak has a really nifty concept behind the layout. I really would see keyboard manifacturers to switch to other layouts. I know that you can type anyways but I hate stickers on the keyboard.
