Choice - Dvorak or QWERTY

The QWERTY design of today's standard keyboard is a relic of the pre-computer age. The QWERTY design was implemented in the 1870s as part of the first successful manual typewriter.

August Dvorak invented the "Dvorak" layout in 1932 as a result of exhaustive time and motion studies. Benefits of the Dvorak layout include:

Easier to learn with all vowels and the most used consonants on the home row. Overall speed and accuracy is generally significantly increased.
Overall speed and accuracy is generally significantly increased.
Stress in hands, fingers, wrists, arms, shoulders is typically decreased.

A TypeMatrix user can easily toggle between QWERTY and Dvorak with a simple Function keystroke (FN and then tap F3) and without installing any software. One user or group of users can type in QWERTY and another in Dvorak on a single TypeMatrix device.
