Thanks Thomas. I really appreciate hearing your experience. I looked up Colemak / Dvorak last night and it seemed from the articles / discussion I found like it was a mixed bag [1][2]. I think you've inspired me to at least dip my toes in so we'll see how it goes. As far as productivity I guess it is what it is but I've been struggling with Carpal Tunnel for a bit so was already at reduced productivity and now with the keyboard switch and possibly completely layout change it will be reduced even further. I think at least initially I'll do QWERTY layout and as you suggest do an hour or so a day of some other layout. Again thanks for your input.

> I really appreciate hearing your experience. You're very welcome. As a last note, I would like to mention that I am not any faster (maybe a bit if I focus on speed) with Workman than I was using QWERTY. I am, however, much more comfortable. I don't have to contort my hands at all (except to accommodate the popular staggered physical layout, which your new keyboard explicitly fixes). So far, thankfully, I don't have any carpel tunnel, so I don't really know what that is like, but I can imagine a better layout helping about as much as a better keyboard. > I think at least initially I'll do QWERTY layout and as you suggest do an hour or so a day of some other layout. Good luck! I hope things go well for you.
