I had major wrist issues and made the switch to programmer dvorak around 2 years ago. Took around one to two months before my wrist got better and about the same time before I didn&#x27;t feel constrained by the new layout.<p>Now two years later I would have to say I&#x27;m at about the same speed I was with qwerty, except for when I have to write numbers with the horrible positioning on the programmer dvorak layout :)<p>Would never recommend someone to make the switch unless they have problems with RSI.
