    Hi!

    So I've been using the Dvorak keyboard layout since I was 14, I'm 26 now. It's not possible to go back to the Qwerty style anymore. Not that a look at the keys anymore, I'm curious if it's possible to pop out keys in the M17x and change them around.

    Thanks

    Pretend you're using a DVORAK keyboard and just use spell check to fix 60% of your attempted words.

    Unfortunately, you're stuck with QWERTY.

    You could put little stickers over the letters, or more ascetic solution would be to buy a dvorak wireless keyboard.
