i type 200* on qwerty, only reason to switch layouts (outside of "i want to be different" is ergonomics

I don't really think max is a hardcore typist tho, it's only going to make it more confusing for anyone that tries using their PC

And I still think dvorak is better since it has all the five vowels in the same row which could make typing easier and faster. I did when I had it on my phone.

I mean this heatmap explains why dvorak was more comfortable for me to type with a touchscreen.

I remember reading somewhere that dvorak is worse on touch screen since common keys are close together meaning that there's a higher chance to mis-touch the key or something

Colemak is still more efficient and closer to qwerty, so i see why learn it over ~~dvorjack~~ dvorak.

actually colemak is sort of better than dvorak because its supposed to be comfortable and efficient while still being somewhat familiar to qwerty users be retaining some key placements present in qwerty compared to dvorak which radically changes the key placement

also i use the typewise honeycomb keyboard on my phone
