Yes, on referring to the companies themselves for information, I've found
that many don't know much about their own product.
The Australian agent for one brand states that they don't make a keyboard
that caters for Dvorak, while the manufacturer says that there's not a
problem.
I don't appreciate that sort of thing on a professional level.
If they're that sloppy, maybe their support and other aspects are the same.
Doesn't give you much confidence in buying their product, going forward.
