Keyboard Sounds

hmmm...
does the sound we make typing on the keyboard differ from letter to letter? Or at least for typewriters is that the case? Because my spacebar makes a different sound from my caps-lock. Maybe even for phone pads.

WOAHH

i'm gonna research this and get an ignobel for it. YAH GOH IGNOBELL GOH GOH!!!!

Actually it does make a difference. I can type 50wpm with 99% accuracy in Qwerty and 30wpm with 100% accuracy in Dvorak. I believe I'm typing correctly according to good ergonomic principles (according to what was I taught during training). I'm still using my pressure sensitive keyboard so I place minimal strain on my wrists when I type.

I can tell you that typing paragraphs in Qwerty even slowly puts strain on my lower arms. This is the best way I can describe the feeling - a strain. When I type in Dvorak, this problem is instantly reduced. The strain doesn't disappear but it feels more balanced. This is the best way I can describe the feeling - balanced. This makes sense because the vowels are on the home position at the left hand and the commonly used consonants (dhtns) are on home for the right hand. Less used consonants (fgcrl) are above the home for the right hand and the least commonly used are below the home keys. The fingers travel less when typing in english and this is a miracle for people that suffer from typing related rsi.
