The most important advantage is that the Dvorak keyboard was designed to help typists type faster, as the standard QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow typists down so that the typewriters wouldn't get stuck.

These are some of the design advantages:

- Commonly typed letters are slightly shifted so that the majority of the typing

is done by the right hand. The QWERTY keyboard has it so that the left hand

has to move slightly more. It helps because most people are right-handed.

- The most common letters (H, G, B, P, U, K, E, T are just a few)

are placed either near or on the home row, requiring less movement.

Other common letters such as S are placed near the sides so that they are

also easy to get to.

- Awkward strokes (Such as the word Minimum) that require excessive

jumping between rows and back rarely occur on the Dvorak keyboard

because it was designed to prevent just that.

The advantages aren't unknown. Barbara Blackburn, the fastest English

typist in the world, also uses a Dvorak Keyboard.

First, there will be no limit on the simultaneous key presses (6 on USB). And when you use USB the computer is using CPU time polling your keyboard, with PS2 the keyboard isn't polled at all, the keyboard sends a signal straight to the computer each time you press a key.
