Is it worth switching to Dvorak? QWERTY was created to slow you down so the typewriter keys wouldn't get stuck very often.
And can you switch easily to QWERTY when you get used to both?

Unless you already type like 150 wpm you wont see much benefit of switching.
For 99.99% of people qwerty is fine.

No it's not worth. Even if you manage to get good, which requires a lot of training, speed decreases when you don't practice.
Protip: 20-30 min/day of aerobic physical activity prevents RSI much better.

Colemak, nigga.

>Colemak makes even greater use of home row (74%) than Dvorak (71%). This leaves QWERTY's 34% far behind. Bottom row use is low at 9%, like Dvorak.
>Colemak is more balanced in hand use, with a 6% preference for the right hand (Dvorak has 14% for the right and QWERTY 15% for the left).
>Cumulative run statistics for Colemak are worth looking at. The rhl(0) and rhr(0) are nearly both 50% (0.55 and 0.49, respectively). This means that half of the time successive keystrokes use the same hand and that this characteristic is symmetric with respect to the left and right hands. In other words, Colemak is very good at maintaining hand alternation for both hands. Consecutive uses of the home row is also favourable in Colemak, with 85% of runs having a length of <=5 strokes (compare this with 4 strokes for Dvorak and somewhere between 1-2 strokes for QWERTY).
>Both Colemak and Dvorak make greater use of the pinky. Colemak uses the pinky 16% of the time (18% for Dvorak and 10% for QWERTY). Colemak does a good job at loading the stronger fingers (index and middle) and uses them 67% of the time. This is better than Dvorak which uses these fingers 60% of the time, but not as good as QWERTY which uses them 69% of the time.

Eh, would be fun to use as effectively as qwerty, just to mess with people that asks to use ones PC from time to time.
