Just a reminder for people wanting to try Dvorak. If you have some spare money on the side, trying Dvorak with a Typematrix keyboard is really worth it. I did the switch, it was painful for 2 months, but now (one year later I think) it is so natural that I wonder how I was able to type on a qwerty standard keyboard before. I will buy another 2030 as spare part, just in case of Typematrix is going broke.


Keyboard choice is a whole other conversation. :) By all means, get a nice keyboard, but you don't need a new keyboard (or labels) just for Dvorak.

I didn't have a hard time finding a keyboard I liked, but it took me a while to find a mouse - I eventually settled on the "Kensington Expert Mouse" trackball (http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Optical-Trackball-64...). There aren't a whole lot of left-handed trackballs, and none I've seen have mouse wheels. This one is ambidextrous, the ring around the ball is also a wheel, and it's got four buttons.
