And now I'm (slowly) typing this in dvorak.

The vi keys are better than qwerty's home row. It's been two days and I'll die on this hill.

Is it terminal?

Edit: Guess I should mention it's a Nuphy Air60 V2 given the com. I was a bit hasty.

I probably only get around 70wmp in bursts with qwerty, but I also type faster than I write. The best way I can describe the difference is my fingers feel all spider-like with qwerty, but in dvorak, I feel like I'm jookin (I was trying to think of a faster shuffle-y footwork, but this is sick). I can feel a different level of flow even at slower speeds.
