Ah, the mighty Dvorak keyboard. Nice to see you got to it through This Is True Xantar, I hope you're a subscriber!
I've not used the Dvorak much (in case you're wondering how this can be changed in Windows, you can alter the keyboard profile in Control Panel to US - Dvorak), but I'll tell you one thing: for me, it's not uch faster (I can't touch tyope on a QWERTY, let alone a Dvorak) but it is far FAR more comfortable. Your fingers do less moving, and you have to contort them less. I much prefer to Dvorak to the QWERTY (especially since the QWERTY was designed to be puposefully slow - the only reason it wasn't adopted as the standard was due to WW2), and I imagine with a bit more practice I would much prfer it to QWERTY.
As for where to get them, my flatmate purchased a blank 101 key PS2 keyboard for £3, so it's a simple matter to load the keymap and just write the names on the keys. problem is that the default keymap doesn't have a £ symbol, which is a bit of a git, but easily solved.
