I have no problem typing without looking. Problem as I mentioned above, it is difficult to type with my pinky. It is kind of short (Not oddly short, just that I have shorter fingers than average) and it's awkward. That's what slows me down.

So I'm looking for a layout which makes my other fingers work more.

It sounds like a smaller and/or curved keyboard might be a physical alternative, rather than learn a new layout e.g. the expensive Kinesis contoured devices.

Funny you mention the Kinesis, which can switch between qwerty and dvorak with a keypress, without you having to consult the OS about it. (great if you can't configure the computer you're using)
