Dvorak Layout
The Dvorak layout was rst developed in the 1930’s by Dr. August Dvorak. Dr. Dvorak’s goal was to develop a keyboard
layout that would reduce nger movement in order to increase typing speed and decrease errors as compared to the
traditional QWERTY layout.
Activation: The Dvorak layout can be activated by hitting the Program Key in conjunction with F4 (labeled “dvorak”)
Dvorak Keycaps
Although it is possible to remove the alphanumeric keycaps and rearrange them in the Dvorak layout, Kinesis does not
recommend doing this, as the size and shape of each keycap is designed to t a specic row and column in the key well.
Changing the positions of the keycaps will make it difcult for your ngers to move across the keys. Kinesis recommends
that Dvorak typists purchase the Advantage2 QD model (KB600QD) which features dual-legended QWERTY-Dvorak keycaps.
The QWERTY-Dvorak keycap set (KC020DU-blk) can also be purchased separately to upgrade any Advantage2 model .
Optional Dvorak Layout (shown with the Windows Mode thumb keys)
