I switched from QWERTY to Colemak-DH and it barely made a difference, not for speed and not for type comfort. It was a fun brain rewiring exercise though. For me the largest impact in getting rid of wrist and hand pains (besides good adjustment of chair and table and regular exercises) was switching to a Kinesis Advantage. Besides being split, tented, and having column stagger, the key wells put my hands at a much more natural position and makes keys easier to reach. The thumb keys also allowed me to unload the pinkies a lot. At this point I can’t really go back to a flat keyboard for daily use. They just feel bad. I also made a Dactyl (meh) and put in an order for the Glove80, which I am really looking forward to try. But I wouldn’t really recommend a switch to Colemak, it’s not really worth the effort. Also, a subset of the Colemak community is quite obnoxious. You’d think they are interested in alternate layouts, but they have a tendency to attack anyone who proposes something that is not Colemak.
