I switched from QWERTY to Dvorak about 15 years ago. I used to type ~80 WPM on QWERTY. For the first few weeks on Dvorak, I was typing at a tedious ~10 WPM. Only after about two months did my speed get up to a respectable pace (probably 60+ WPM). Nowadays I can do 120 WPM on Dvorak. The retraining was well worth it for me, because I work many hours at the computer, and my fingers move a lot less when typing English text on Dvorak. As for switching back and forth, I can still use QWERTY, but it feels awkward like "dancing with two left feet". I stumble, pause, make mistakes, and correct them. But numerically speaking, I still type 60+ WPM on QWERTY when I need to, despite the discomfort. More details in https://www.nayuki.io/page/i-type-in-dvorak https://www.nayuki.io/page/i-type-in-dvorak
