The myth of alternating-hand advantage probably dates to the era of mechanical typewriters, when hammers arriving from opposite sides of the machine were less likely to jam.
- mkl 7y agoAlternating hands was certainly better for my hand joint issues. I found Dvorak not really faster, but more comfortable, and the alternating hands is a big part of that. Alternating hands is much better than consecutive keys far apart on the same hand, and way better than consecutive keys on the same finger.
