In Response To: OT: Dvorak (Vid Boi)

: I just switched to Dvorak layuot. I am typing painfully slowly. Anyone know a
: good way to get used to this faster? @.@

Sorry to tell you this, but QWERTY is hard wired in your brain. Learning a new layout is a lot like learning a new language - easy when you're very young, fairly easy when you're age is still in the single digits, a bit harder when you hit your teens and very difficult when you're an adult. The brain is plastic, but relearning the layout will take time. I understand the reasons for Dvorak, but with nearly every keyboard you will ever encounter being QWERTY, I wouldn't advise making the switch unless you have a medical reason for doing so (i.e. some fingers don't work).
