I used to use DVORAK on my old laptop just for shits and giggles, but then that laptop bit the dust. It was fun, I said I was bikeyboardlingual. Dvorak is controversial and looks like it probably doesn't help your typing any more than Qwerty. I switched before I did all my research. It wasn't difficult for me to learn one and type on other boards using Qwerty. I'd say my experience with Dvorak: was fun, prevented people from fucking with my computer because it confused them, but ultimately not a life-changing experience, didn't experience a big speed change or smoothness change. Then again I am the kind of person that plays "type-faster" games for fun. My max words per minute (WPM) was 108 back in college, I'm slower now.
