ASUS W3 Series Laptop Keyboard

First of all introduction how to switch to a dvorak keyboard layout
1, Decide whether the Dvorak keyboard is the right choice for you. Take the time to learn about its advantages and disadvantages:
The standard QWERTY keyboard layout was designed to prevent typewriter jams (which is no longer necessary with computers), whereas the Dvorak layout was designed specifically to be easy on the hands.
Using a Dvorak keyboard may reduce the likelihood of carpal-tunnel syndrome.
If you share your computer with others or if you frequently switch computers, the changed layout will be confusing. However, on Windows XP, for example, each account can be set to a different typing layout--so use your own account with Dvorak if you can so you don't confuse the other(s).
If you already change your keyboard to type in other languages, having an additional layout in the mix will be confusing.
Dvorak allows for higher speeds and accuracy than can be achieved on a QWERTY keyboard, but the ultimate gain in speed must outweigh the temporary sacrifice in speed during the transition.
2, Switch your computer from QWERTY to ANSI Dvorak. This is quite easy to do in most operating systems. Refer to the external links at the end of this article for details catered to your specific operating system.
3, Consider relabeling the keys on your keyboard or buying a Dvorak keyboard. This may be helpful when you're learning, but it's preferable simply to get used to not looking at your hands when you type. You will be able to type on any keyboard with a changed layout, and you will type faster if you never look at your hands.
4, Learn where to put your fingers to touch-type. If you already know how to touch-type on a QWERTY, the same fingers operate the same keys. The keys just produce different letters. The home row is:
Dvorak: AOEU - ID - HTNS
QWERTY: ASDF - GH - JKL;
5, Download free typing software that teaches Dvorak, or take online lessons. Whereas there is a wide array of software support for QWERTY, there are only a few good Dvorak programs, (some are listed in the External Links section). Make sure you go through lessons at a reasonable pace. Although the lessons may be easy, do them multiple times to ensure you have mastered everything they offer.
6, Practice, practice, practice! Try to use Dvorak as much as possible, even if you hate the initial speed reduction and confusion. Practice will make you more familiar with the keyboard layout. Practicing for small amounts of time, such as fifteen minutes per day is more effective than practicing for hours once a week.
