Re: Natural keyboard vs 'standard' layout. Easiest for Dvorak?

As far as comfort goes, I've found constant variation is the best
answer - swap boards every day/week.

The TypeMatrix had quite a learning curve for me, but I do love it
now.  The other keyboard high on my list is the Goldtouch.  That
keyboard allows you to constantly vary its orientation, which is
invaluable.
