Help An easy-to-answer question for owners of a bluetooth keyboard

I'm looking to buy an external (bluetooth) keyboard for use with my Android 4.4 (Kitkat) keyboard. I use a different layout for typing; it's called Dvorak. It's not the Qwerty layout that comes standard on almost all keyboards sold in the English-speaking world, but still an English-layout.

I'd like to ask you keyboard owners a small favor. Could you please try these two free apps:

1. External Keyboard Helper (Demo)
2. RS - Hardware Keyboard Layouts

and set the keyboard layout to Dvorak? Then please tell me whether your typing corresponds to the Dvorak layout as you'll see in the image above?

When you respond, please say:
1. What keyboard you have
2. What Android device you have
3. Which of the two apps you tried (or whether you tried both)
4. The results of your typing. Was there anything in your typing that did not match with the dvorak layout image?

Your answers will confirm whether or not I could go ahead with buying an external keyboard.

Thank you.
 
Keyboards aren't that technical to where they correspond to all the different layouts of customizeable keyboards. Whatever your bluetooth keyboard has on the keys, will be entered on your device when selected. But I can tell you that most people aren't going to risk a buggy app, or even utilize their time downloading apps and changing their keyboard to answer this.
