I would be surprised if switching to a slightly nicer keyboard layout would overcome the loss of muscle memory.

- snuxoll 10y agoIt certainly takes time. I never learned how to touch-type on QWERTY (I got really fast at pecking at keys) - so taking the dive from ~30WPM to ~15WPM for the first two weeks wasn't too big of an issue, now if most of the online typing tests can be considered "good enough" I now type roughly between 80-95WPM on average using Dvorak - which is mostly excessive when it comes to my day job of programming since I spend more time thinking about what I'm trying to write than I do typing it, but it comes in handy when replying to comments on Hacker News and Reddit or when I have to type up documentation.
