Q&A for How to Switch to a Dvorak Keyboard Layout

That is an option. However, it's much more complicated to switch the keys around than it is to put on some stickers. If you don't do it correctly, you could run the chance of breaking the keys so that they won't snap into place like they're supposed to.

DVORAK is faster than QWERTY because it was designed using the autonomy of the human hand. The vowels are placed in the left side of the middle row, and most commonly used consonants on the right.

In addition, DVORAK is easier to learn because you can start learning 500 words on the middle row rather than nonsense fff jfk.
