There was apparently an entire government/corporate faction that deliberately resisted it. To the extent that they falsified studies to prove that QWERTY was better. Just remember that QWERTY was developed in the 1870s and became the defacto "universal" standard for typewriters before the 20th century. Once typewriters lost the mechanical arms using QWERTY was unnecessary. It was developed for a specific need. That of not letting the key arms collide if you typed too fast.

One poorly written anti-Dvorak article has had more press in the last several years than the Dvorak keyboard itself. Written by Stan Liebowitz and Stephen Margolis, it has been published in journals,

If I didn't have to type on a million different keyboards all over for work and was able to stay on my home computer all the time I'd make the switch. This reason is also why I'm not good at optimizing for a mechanical keyboard and always bottom out the keys because I don't type on mechanical all over the place so I never get adapted to the mechanical shorter keystroke.

Oh man wondered what that was called. Worked with a DB2 administrator that used that thing.

so i've been pretty ergo for about 20years, i've been rocking a kinesis for about 10years
and before that i made my own ergo keyboard out of a ms ergonomic 4000
this past month my mouse hand has been in constant "claw" shape and stretching it out felt like little elves were stabbing me. i got a litany of finger strength devices to squeeze and stretch my hands
i got a finger splint to wear at night
and i feel my hand is 90% recovered
in a preventive measure... i've broken down and decided to get a vertical mouse, so i got the logitech mx vertical (i hate vertical mice)
while this the best vertical mouse i've used and feels really comfortable, it's so fucking "basic", doesn't even have mouse wheel tilt...
fucking 19year advancement in mousing, lulz

wow remember the ms intelimouse? ha
anyway my keyboard surface is wide enough i keep my g502 around just in case, but i haven't had the need for it
of course there are other options but i'm just surprised this is actually pretty good that if logitech comes out w/ a ver w/ more buttons i'mma get that too.

Well, I've finally worn out the last of my backstock of Drakonia Blacks and I can't find any stores selling them so it's finally time to find a new mouse. I'd prefer something wired, with programmable buttons that are spread out around all sides of the mouse instead of all being concentrated on the thumb. Anyone have any recommendations? For reference, these are what I've been using for the past decade: Drakonia Black - sharkoon.com

Fiancé does data analysis and is constantly doing numpad data entry, so this might make a great gift. Will try and pick one or two up (maybe a 2nd to go with my 10keyless) for a rainy day "oops I screwed up" gift.

I was ready at 6am this morning and picked up two of these. I still can't believe how excited I am for this.

This keyboard is super comfy, perfect wireless replacement of the old MicroSoft ergo 4000
Going to get this Couchmaster Cycon soon for computing on the new Samsung QLED TV. Hope I do not regret it....
