It took me 2 weeks to “switch” to Dvorak in 2008.
Your brain will unlearn the touch position of QWERTY, and looking down at a QWERTY, keyboard when you type will throw you off big time at first.
Eventually you’ll get used to looking at a QWERTY keyboard and typing Dvorak, which is interesting (my mind maps different letters between the layouts).
You can relearn QWERTY fairly easily once you’re confident in Dvorak, and you’ll be able to type in both, but I don’t ever find the need to type in QWERTY. When helping a coworker out on their computer I’d just switch their settings and switch back if I was going to be working there for awhile. Additionally you can get a WASD / CODE keyboard which has a hardware Dvorak dip switch, which is in Dvorak outputting to a system expecting QWERTY.
