LOL guys, I just changed to a dvorak keyboard layout

A true master at work=typing QWERTY with a DVORAK layout. Which I'm doing.

I didn't want the keys to be upside down, I had no choice, they would only go on that way.

You wouldve been cooler if you didnt tell us that about the keys only fitting that way.

I'm actually thinking about turning ALL of my keys upside-down but that would require that I customize every single key and that's too much work.

Ill post pics of my UO keyboard when its done.

So, the only reason to have a DVORAK keyboard is for faster typing speeds? And how is that managable? The most commonly used letters are placed in quicker areas?

Correct!

Apparently, thousands of words can be typed with just the home row, which means less finger movement. It also eliminates "one handed words" like "agree".

Agree in Dvorak would be... aip..

Correct. Before the days of the computer, when typewriters were used, secrataries would occasionally type too quickly and cause the typewriter to jam. Typewriter manufacturers attempted to solve this problem with the QWERTY layout, which is deliberatly inefficient. Now that we no longer have to worry about mechanical arms jamming, a more efficient keyboard layout was designed: DVORAK. For most of us, though, the increased typing speed isn't worth the time and effort of completely re-learning how to type.

Officemax does no carry Dvorak keyboards
