Pythagoras 0 Posted January 31, 2001 Ok I have made the switch to dvorak, and its great. For most applications it works, and gets my kb input from windows, but for some games, 2 in particular (Half Life and Madden 2k1) It just dont work, it seems to bypass windows and assume I have a qwerty keyboard! It sucks when someone I know on a cs server is talking to me and all I can say is ",aa;fr!" Anyone know anything I can do? Share this post Link to post

DeadCats 0 Posted February 3, 2001 Just out of curiosity, what does a Dvorak keyboard provide that a qwerty keyboard does not, since you can now find all sorts of split-board, all-angle qwerty keyboards? ------------------ "Being married to a programmer is like owning a cat.

CUViper 0 Posted February 3, 2001 the dvorak keyboards lay out the characters more efficiently... qwerty was designed with typewriters in mind, so they spread out the commonly used keys, hoping to avoid having keys next to each other catch each other when typing fast. The only reason qwerty is still the most common is that people already knew how to type on qwerty, so it stuck. I've heard though that you can type a lot faster if you learn the dvorak layout.
