Unlabeled keys and Dvorak

QWERTY-labelled keys and Dvorak.
I have considered doing this to even further mess with my partner.

He gets annoyed with my unlabeled keys and adding Dvorak to the mix would remove any ability to use my computer (not that I care, I am just a troll)

Heck, Dvorak is used way too much. Coleman it is.

(disclaimer: typing this on a Dvorak layout)

I've watched first hand how much QWERTY-labeled keys with Colemak layout confuses people. Dvorak people usually figure out things are weird in one or two keys, but Colemak intentionally has enough coincidences with QWERTY that it can take people a while to figure it out depending on what they are trying to type, and the frustration is possibly more rewarding to watch as they try to get grips with how "broken" your keyboard must be.
No problem for me...
