Personally, I don't understand why there are any characters printed on the
keys to begin with.
I type fairly well with the Dvorak, but I *do* like the keys to be properly
labeled. Why? Because I occasionally hit a key or shortcut with one hand
while the other is using the mouse. Or perhaps type something in with one
hand while holding a notebook with the other. Etcetera.
There is nothing preventing you from still looking at the keyboard, and
clearly identifying where the key is located that you want to hit, even
when the keys are blank. Piano players do this all the time.
I know where the keys are when my hands are in their proper positions, but I
can not type the Dvorak 'k' (for example), with my right index finger without
a labeled key (with consistent accuracy, across the various keys). And I
play the piano but that is totally different (in my opinion).
