My wrists hurt significantly less since I switched to the Dvorak keyboard about a year ago. But that's just me.

One bit I did find interesting was the bit on the ergonomic studies, and the arguments that:

A. The loads on the right and left hands are equalized.

B. The load on the home (middle) row is maximized.

C. The frequency of alternating hand sequences is maximized and the frequency of same-finger typing is minimized.

It's Friday, so I think I'll hack together a keyboard monitor and see what keys I really hit. Then I'll do some unscientific analyses on the results. If anyone's already got a keyboard monitor, save me a bit of work,eh?
