I just realized that I've been using Dvorak for longer than I was using qwerty before that.
And I wonder if it's why I don't have carpel tunnel problems despite pretty much living on my PC. Though I'm also the type to find a comfortable position regardless of my posture, which might help with wrist health. I'm not really sure why my back doesn't kill me at this point when my posture has been horrible all my life.
But yeah, I find typing on Dvorak is just comfortable.
Yeah I switched in college when my wrists started hurting. My wrists are fine now despite typing a lot and doing other stuff that’s hard on them like bicycle repair. It solved the problem in months. And all it cost me was the ability to function in a QWERTY world. It does always get me nerd cred with IT departments though.
