I never took lessons on how to type, but I can do about 80 wpm using my own method where I use 9 of my fingers.

![]() so not only are you evenly using each hand, but you aren't stretching up and down to the other rows as much. |

I cannot support this new keyboard layout.
It changes the answer to a very important trivia question: name the longest word that can be typed with one hand using the standard two-handed approach. Answer: stewardesses.

If you are left-handed, I pity you but at least you wouldn't have as much reason to switch. BTW this thread was the impetus that finally led me to make the switch. In the last 5 minutes I removed the keys on my keyboard (all letters except a & m, all punctuation marks). I am using a usb keyboard that I got for free so if I hate it or screw it up, oh well. I am now starting to put the keys back on in Dvorak layout... |

BTW "pilot and "mile high club" both require using the left hand. There just aren't that many words that can be typed with the right hand (compared to the # that can be typed with the left) on qwerty, air-travel related or not. |
