The author of that site should site stats comparing Colemak with Dvorak because that's really their 'competition' so to speak.


There's a link right on the front page ('Compare') to an applet which compares QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak..


Yeah but the author doesn't provide any summary stats or analysis like he/she does vs. qwerty. I would potentially be switching from dvorak - on average is there much difference?

I ended up pasting some posts from this thread into the compare tool. Colemak and dvorak seem pretty similar, with colemak consistently having slightly less same-finger usage (i.e. two keys in a row being pressed by the same finger). Both are about the same improvement over qwerty. Doesn't look like it's worth switching from dvorak.
