When I switched to using Dvorak a decade ago, I did so using a keyboard that came with two skins; one printed, one blank. I used the printed skin at first but then decided I wasn’t learning the layout fast enough. So I switched to the blank skin “cold turkey”. It was impossible to type anything at first, because I didn’t really know where any of the keys were. So for absolutely every character I’d press each and every button until I found the correct one. But it only took a couple of days of this before my muscle memory began to learn where the keys were. And then as I kept using it I got better and better at touch typing Dvorak and finally it became second nature. My original keyboard that I did this with was the TypeMatrix 2030 USB. I’ve stuck with Dvorak ever since. In 2017 I switched to a programable mechanical keyboard and made my own TypeMatrix-inspired Dvorak keyboard layout for it. I bought the one with blank key caps, naturally ;) Said custom layout for my programable ErgoDox EZ Shine can be found here: https://github.com/ctsrc/ergodox-ez-shine-dvorak https://github.com/ctsrc/ergodox-ez-shine-dvorak
