I was forced to switch to Dvorak after taking a compiler-construction class at the same time I was working full-time. Had way too much code to write. My knuckles and joints were hurting beyond comprehension. I thought I would never cross my fingers again. I first switched the keys (took off the plastic cups and moved them around) of a qwerty keyboard to dvorak and setup a keymap. I later purchased a keyboard by Typematrix which is incredible. I have been typing in Dvorak for ...8 years. I would never go back to qwerty, and even now when I'm faced with a qwerty keyboard I can sense the tension in my fingers. Needless to say that switching helped my hands heal, I was forced to learn how to type from scratch again (thus learned right this time), and that I can type at least 20% faster without any strain. Qwerty is like child molestation, only unprosecuted.
