Should I switch to Colemak or Dvorak keyboard layout if the only thing I care about is faster speed with less errors?
Ericphillips
Hi, then I commited myself to learn touchtyping I really learned to hate the querty layout. After some googling I found both the Colemak and the Dvorak layout. I tried them both for a day each and decided to stick with Dvorak. Colemak has a lot of advantages over Dvorak, but I just fell in love with the way my hands alternated then typing with Dvorak. However you should asking yourself if typing speed is really the only thing you care about. In the rare moments I'm using the mouse I'm hating the Dvorak for it disables me to execute most shortcuts with one hand. Looking back, I might go down a different road. Still, although I didn't give Colemak to hard a try, I think the hand alternation gives Dvorak a slight speed edge.

What is the difference between a qwerty keyboard and an ABC keyboard?
A QWERTY-type keyboard has the layout of semi-randomly placed keys on a keyboard. The layout was created to slow down fast typists using an ABC-type keyboard, as older typewriters could not handle fast typing speeds without jamming errors. The layout does not show a pattern of the alphabet. This is the most popular type of keyboard, and is widely accepted for all uses. A ABC-type keyboard has the layout of neatly placed keys on a keyboard, in alphabetical order. This layout is not popular at all, and is not widely accepted, for modern reasons. Going from the QWERTY format to an ABC-type format would take much adjustment.
