I was taught on an actual typewriter so QWERTY or nothing.

Steffen FantastiQ

Bring on an episode about the other ones! Should we change? (Me learned schoolbook touch on typewriter)

I type in Dvorak but I also have a custom layout for gaming that's based on qwerty, but shifted right by one key, and has some other keys moved around.

brickonator

Qwerty, but only because it's all I've had access to. Kinda want to try using one of the others at some point, if only for the novelty.

colin

i have a "maybe tomorrow" goal to learn dvorak. no love for workman??

Stephen Robinson

QWERTY is all I've ever known. What about split keyboards, though? Are they worth a try?

Seamus Conacher

ANSI QWERTY in an ISO country: got to have those long shifts.

Andrei Moldovan

I fear that if I switch to anything other than qwerty I have to travel with my own keyboard ~ I think people will start looking at me funny

Fred Fryolator

I'm far too lazy to re-learn how to type, so nothing but QWERTY here. But this poll does remind me I used to be convinced John C. Dvorak invented the Dvorak keyboard.

WayneJetSki

I use QWERTY but I have been curious to go Dvorak every time I read about it but too lazy to actually learn the Dvorak layout. One day I shall switch over

Todd Jefferson

Qwerty, but make CAPS LOCK into CTRL. Easy on the mac, can't believe it's still such a pain on windows.

Peter Laws

QWERTY but yeah, CAPS LOCK defeated if not converted to CTRL (not always easy).

TomArnd

I guess I'm the only AZERTY user haha

When I was typing a ton I started to get carpal tunnel symptoms and switched to a split keyboard. It helped alot. I've reverted to a normal one since as I've changed jobs. It definitely takes some getting used to!

i use dvorak on my phone, and qwerty on my desktop/laptop. i do this because i don't want to be a crotchety old man one day who only likes doing things the way they were done when he was young. slightly related: i use my mouse left-handed at work, and right-handed at home.

@Nick B: Rotating mouse hands at work and at home seems like a great way of avoiding RSI too. 👍

I use a Dvorak keyboard with columnar keys. Got me a TypeMatrix 2030
