10 Reasons You Should Use Dvorak

1. Saves your wrists from RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury).
2. Increases your productivity: Type for longer periods of time with more comfort.
3. It's FREE to switch your computer to Dvorak. Dvorak has been built in to Microsoft Windows since version 3.0.
4. Dvorak typists type faster (for example, the world's fastest typist uses Dvorak).
5. More logical design: Frequently used keys are on the home row of the keyboard. All the vowels are home row, left hand. 70% of all letters typed are on the home row of the Dvorak layout.
6. Efficient typing: you generally will type keys alternating between left and right hands. Only a few words require one-hand typing.
7. Increased Accuracy: your chance of missing a key or hitting the wrong key is much lower with Dvorak.
8. Dvorak gives your PC a layer of "security".
9. QWERTY was never designed with efficiency in mind. In QWERTY, only 31% of typing is done on the home row.
10. If you switch to Dvorak, you will have no regrets. If you don't, you very well might.
