Use a teensy to intercept the USB signal sent from the QWERTY keyboard, then send the DVORAK equivalent?

Teensy doesn't work because you can't use it as USB host. Unless you can use the keyboard in PS/2 mode.

Yeah the Teensy wont work but hasu's TMK keyboard firmware has an experimental USB to USB option; but, i imagine only hasu has done anything with it. I also imagine the programmable converter would be huge because it uses the Arduino Leonardo.

Option 2, as mentioned is use a board with ps/2 capabilities and then a teensy converter is really easy to put together (very little soldering). I use the soarer one but there is also the TMK one.

Option 3 is to get a programmable board such as a korean custom, phantom, gh60, etc -- many colemak and dvorak lovers on geekhack use programmable boards.
