I was skeptical about Dvorak, I read a lot about it, here and in other places, then in a day of "madness" I went ahead and bought a Typematrix 2030 USB with Dvorak layout.
It took me 2 months to go back to speed and I was not that good at typing, looking regularly at the keyboard with my Qwerty.
But now, I don't know if this comes more from the Typematrix or Dvorak, but anyway, the combination is so great, it is the first time in my entire life that I am fully touch typing, with the feeling that all the keys are naturally falling below my fingers. I will never go back.
Note, I am a solo entrepreneur working from my home office, so I do not have the problem with the switch between home and work keyboard. I started in March last year if not wrong, so my experience is a bit more than "just a test".
I switched to Dvorak with a regular keyboard and noticed a reduction in wrist / forearm pain. It was only years later that I picked up a couple of TypeMatrix keyboards as a luxury.
