The Dvorak Keyboard, also known as the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard is an alternative to the commonly used QWERTY keyboard. It was developed to improve typing speed and efficiency by rearranging the keys to make it easier to type. So far it has not caught on by the mass market, but it is supported by most of today's operating systems.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard This page is all about the Dvorak Keyboard.

Background
The Dvorak Keyboard was developed after years of research on typing. It was based on the following principleshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard:- Hands should alternate while typing
- Common letters are located in the home row
- Least common letters are located on the bottom row
- Right hand should do more of the typing because most people are right handed
- Keystrokes should go from the outside towards the inside
-
Criticisms
- There is not much evidence to support that it is faster than other types of keyboards.- Most people are unfamiliar with the keyboard layout
- It is not widely manufactured
- More costly to produce compared to other keyboards
- Incompatibility issues with programs designed for the qwerty keyboard.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard
