I own a 2030 and absolutely love it. I didn’t know how to type QWERTY that well so I challenged myself to learn Dvorak. I’m typing a lot faster with more efficient strokes as well. I’m glade that I invested time in money into this product. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their typing or is looking for a nice keyboard.

That’s odd, I started on the 2030 and loved the compactness. When it broke, I got a 2020 because it was cheaper but I don’t like it as much. I agree that it is better for bigger hands though. Finally, I went back to the 2030

I’ve been using the TypeMatrix 2020 keyboard for (guess) eight years. The first four in QWERTY mode, the last four in Dvorak mode. I love the 2020 but hate the 2030—the 2030 is too cramped.

Yeah well now with computers it’s not that bad that everyone uses QWERTY… since we can always just configure our stuff the way we want it (use DVORAK keyboards). I use Dvorak at work and at home… but on my mobile phone (Android) I use the built in qwerty virtual keyboard because I’m only using my 2 thumbs anyway.

I use the same keyboard and love it. It’s also available in QWERTY, for those of you who are stuck in your ways (i.e. most of the world). Dvorak is really much better though, IMO, and well worth the small investment of time it requires to learn. The poor guy devoted a decade of his life to developing the best possible layout, but no one wanted to invest in replacing their old QWERTY typewriters because he came out with it during the Depression. QWERTY was more or less an arbitrary design that gained foothold by default. Even its own inventor later tried to come out with an improved layout, unsuccessfully — due to the same challenge of changing people’s ingrained habits.

So change to Dvorak now, for your children’s sakes! Yeah, I know no one will listen… Bah!

Dvorak? You are the only person who I’ve ever known that uses Dvorak!

I’m too lazy to learn another keyboard layout, let alone one on a keyboard that has vertical columns. More power to you; I just wish I wasn’t so stuck in my ways…
