I subconsciously switch to qwerty when using someone else's computer, and it really throws me off if they use Dvorak. I still have an account on my parents' old computer, and it takes me a moment to remind myself to use Dvorak while using it.

Exactly the same for me. And the great thing with keyboards like Kinesis is that the key map is in the board itself so moving between computers is as easy as moving the keyboard. I’ve been doing this now for over 23 years.

Same exact thing here. If it's split and tented, I type Dvorak. If it's flat, I type Qwerty. Full speed, no thought.

Some sort of context-aware muscle memory
