I've been QWERTY every day since I was 6 years old basically...for over 14 and a half years. So I'm not going to change now lol.

I use qwerty at home and the Dutch office (US international layout). Qwertz when I am in Germany. Azerty-dot in Belgium, French Azerty in France, and UK Qwerty in the UK. Always great fun when i need to type my passwords blind. Smile

I used to have a dvorak keyboard but they are hard to come by nowadays.

Yup. I once tried to type with Dvorak because apparently it is faster.

I usually use UK qwerty. However due to various operating systems tenancy to default to US qwerty I often find myself using that.

I actually prefer US qwerty over UK. It makes sense to have " and ' on the same key.

The nearest I ever got to an alternative is a comfy curved (and preferably split) style keyboard.

Well I figured keyboards would be different for languages that don't use the alphabet, but I didn't realize there were different layouts for English keyboards.
