1 how does a DVORAK KEYBOARD layout is closely in competition nowadays with the QWERTY KEYBOARD Layout in terms of popularity of use. 2 What are the advantage and disadvantage of the DVORAK KEYBOARD and QWERTY KEYBOARD?(I NEED IT FOR MY RESEARCH)THNX!
I wouldn't know how competitive Dvorak is to the Qwerty keyboard but since it is rarely used, a big disadvantage to using Dvorak is that it is hard to use any other computer without your layout. Some other cons would be that it takes awhile to learn a new keyboard layout and most laptops only come equipped with Qwerty. And I would know from experience that Dvorak does allow you to type faster, since your most commonly used keys are the eight buttons you rest your fingers on. It really helped me to touch type, because I was able to memorize the keyboard since I couldn't constantly look at the keys since I was using a Qwerty board.
Yah, you can. I'm slowly learning Dvorak, it takes a lot of practice, but I have a good program (TypeFaster) that allows me to learn to type Dvorak without switching my keyboard layout. ) happy typing!
