Does Zerowriter support Dvorak keyboard layout?

I'm looking for a Writerdeck that supports Dvorak layout. Can someone confirm if Zerowriter (either the Ink or the upcoming Fold) does?

Also, what's the lag on the eink screen like? I type at 100wpm, looking at the screen, so am hoping for something with very little lag.

Thank you for your comments.

Recommend me a Writerdeck to replace my Neo 2

Alas, my beloved Neo 2 is no longer working, and I'm looking to replace it with a new writerdeck. I'm considering the BYOK and Pomera DM100, and welcome others' experience with these, as well as suggestions for any other options. I would consider another Neo (I wasn't looking to replace the one I had), but it's less portable than I would like and so I'm now seeing what other options may be out there.

I'm looking for something that:

  • can be used without any backlighting at all (this rules out old phones, laptops, etc.)
  • supports Dvorak keyboard layout (either with external keyboard like BYOK, or, ideally, with the built-in one). I'm not sure if the Pomera does?

Both of these are essential - I can no longer type any layout except Dvorak, and I unexpectedly discovered with the Neo that the lack of screen. lighting is even more beneficial to me than the distraction-free nature of the device!

Additionally, desirable attributes are:

  • easy wired transfer to a computer
  • portable, clamshell design (like Pomera) that can be used on a lap is ideal
  • no delay when turning on to start writing
  • works without needing any wireless technology (wifi/bluetooth)

I welcome your thoughts and recommendations!

A few keys have popped off my Neo 2 (that'll teach me never to put it in a backpack unprotected!). I tried popping them back on like you can with some keyboards, but they don't stay any more. Is there an easy way to put them back? Thank you in advance for your help.
