I am currently learning Dvorak, and I wonder if it's worth it to switch. This question has been asked before, but the criteria were different. In those questions people said they went from 50 to 60 WPM, but when using Qwerty I already reach ~95 WPM, and not with touch typing either (I have never had any typing courses), I use the hybrid method [See Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typing). And after long typing "sessions" my wrists never hurt. People who have switched to Dvorak, have you lost any typing speed or have you even topped your (possibly) already very fast speed? Because I want to switch to Dvorak so I won't develop RSI later in life (plan to do a lot more typing) but if that could mean I'd type a lot slower, I'm not sure if it'd be worth it when there are ways to treat RSI,
