As we all know, Dvorak is the best layout for one or two handed typing!!

Mike Burrell a Ph.D. student at The University of Western Ontario is doing just that, he is taking Dvorak where it has never been. Mr. Burrell has adapted the dvorak layout for the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet (for use on Macs).

“I’ve taken it upon myself to make a new keyboard layout. It is a keyboard layout for the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, inspired by the Dvorak keyboard layout. The Dvorak layout is a keyboard layout that was invented to alleviate the problems in mainstream keyboard layouts.” Read the rest here.

Great job Mike! I hope to see more stories like this soon!!

The keyboards they make aren’t your standard stuff…. The portability aspect really interests me as I am looking for a good portable Dvorak keyboard that I can take with me.  Cool TypeMatrix keyboard!

well, whatever the reason, I recommend the Dvorak Assistant utility.

When you run DVAssist it puts an icon in the taskbar allowing you to easily switch between the default keyboard and Dvorak.

This utility doesn’t need to be installed, so it is perfect to keep on a USB stick and use it on any windows computer you have to touch!!
