That's just crazy!!

Are Dvorak layout keyboards hard to get? Or are you soo good at typing you NEVER look. lol

Hard to get as in learn? It probably took me a month or so to get up to where I was with the QWERTY layout, and I've improved since then.

I can't look at the keyboard when typing, it's a standard keyboard, but all the letters are different (well, except for "a" and "m") Usually I don't bother sliding out my keyboard tray anyway.

There should be a 3rd option! Everyone thinks these things are so cut and dry. Need a black or white, yes or no answer.

I voted yes but it is more in between depending on my situation and how I am siting or if I need help spelling a word. I sometimes look at the keys hoping the spelling will just come to me. Seems silly I know but it works sometimes.

I always type without looking at the keyboard...it's just easier that way. Think of how hard it would be with the hunt and peck method if you were trying to transcribe handwritten text.
