--- Quote from: piratePenguin ---I want a dvorak keyboard.. Trouble is, aside from never having paid for a keyboard ever, keyboard shortcuts.

Like for my music player (amaroK) I press super (button that at least usually has the windows icon on it) and either of Z, X, C, V and B to go previous track, play, pause, stop or next track. On a qwerty keyboard all those letters are next to eachother right above the super key. On dvorak, it would be a bitch to either change the keyboard shortcuts (assuming that's even possible) or to put up with the standard ones designed for qwerty, unless the shortcuts would be different for dvorak?

And in games, W, S, A and D for movement - do you always have to change (at least) them, that would be annoying for some people..

To build a Dvorak keyboard, you simply need an US International keyboard and a Swiss army knife.
Just unmount the keys and re-arrange them.
Games where a bit annoying. Some games don't allow you to reset keys (Worms 3D for example) so for those games it will become a problem.

Hmm, nice, maybe I'll try that..

Can you buy dvorak keyboards? Do they have different (standard?) positions for punctuation/etc keys?

pofnlice:

Just pull up a picture of dvorak keyboard on your PC, switch the keyboard mode to dvorak, disconnected your keyboard, get a spoon and use the handle to pry up and re arange the keys

Now that I see you're in Ireland...I'll assume you have a UK formatted keyboard...there are some significant differences. Mainly in punctuation, the @ |\/? and you have the pound symbol as well as the $ and euro for newer keyboards.
