So, as previously noted, I use the Dvorak keyboard layout. Until just recently, I had the muscle memory only on my phone and laptop. But now... Now I have it on my standard keyboard and the bluetooth keyboard for my phone (see pic below - the letters in blue are Dvorak and the missing stickers are the keys that are the same on Qwerty and Dvorak.)



Which means if I go to a job that doesn't let me change the keyboard layout, I've screwed myself. At my last job I was ok, because I only had the muscle memory on a laptop keyboard and a standard keyboard still had the Qwerty memory.



Ah, well.

Last year I switched from QWERTY to Dvorak. At the time I typed about 55-70 wpm, with 99-100% accuracy. Testing just now, I got 55 wpm, with 100% accuracy (but I did a lot of correcting) on Dvorak.

So, why Dvorak? Did I give into the hype that I would type faster, I wouldn’t get carpal tunnel, that I would suddenly be really really cool? (… I don’t think I’ve ever heard the last one.)

A little.
