Actually, I just map a standard board to dvorak layout.  See sysinstall.

If you're really interested in alternate keyboards, check out the
left-handed Dvorak keyboard.  It's designed so you can type with one
hand.  (There's also a right-handed version.)

I used the left-handed version for a time, thinking I could type
one-handed and have the right hand free for work, but my brain doesn't
split that well.  Ah, well, another bright idea down the drain.

But if the problem is ergonomic, an ergonomic solution is definitely
the right choice. :)
