Maybe I'm a bit of a klutz, but I wouldn't move the keys. Even taking off a key and putting it back in the same place hasn't always succeeded for me, for example the space bar on my X32 came off, replaced, does not work 100% (maybe only 95%) anymore. Disaster for a touch typist.
YMMV. And good luck! >I have been using the Dvorak layout for several years now.
