I have the worst habits I remember specifically when typing speed suddenly became relevant in my life: kings quest 2 ![]() after you open the coffin (by typing "open coffin") you have to stake the vampire quickly, before he wakes up and bites your weak-rear end neck pixel I was 7 and absolutely could not manage to type "kill vampire" in the 3-4 second window necessary. Eventually I had to have my dad come down and type it and then I fell off the stairs leaving the dungeon before saving and had to have him come type it again anyway by teaching myself to type long before typing classes came up at school I ended up with a weird-rear end approach that I don't know if I'll ever shake. I use 3 fingers on each hand - no little fingers or thumbs whatsoever. Spacebar is right index finger, every time, and I hit 'Y' with my left index finger. Kind of like the home rows, except rotated left. I can touch type in this style at ~100 wpm. But every once in a while someone parks me in front of a natural/split keyboard, and I jump my hand over the gap to hit keys and it's loving awful and embarrassing anyway thats my typing story thanks for reading god bless

I spent my childhood playing piano, and once I learned how to adapt those skills to typing, I jumped up to ~80WPM very quickly. I always played that dinosaur game on the Macs we had at school in typing class, it was very fun. I'm at like 130-140 sustained now if I'm concentrating, peak ~170, and 110-120 regular/lazy typing. I don't use the home row and I don't type "properly" but results matter more than form, right?

Here's some dumb poo poo I did with some dumb poo poo I bought off Amazon: Stage 1: ![]() It's pretty alright, it's nice to type on, but it doesn't look nearly stupid enough. Therefore; Stage 2: ![]() Flash on: ![]() Not bad, but it still needs something. How about... ![]() Flash on: ![]() It's gettin there for sure, but it still lacks a certain je-ne-sais-quoi... What if I ![]() Flash on: ![]() Perfect.

COACHS SPORT BAR posted:I hit 'Y' with my left index finger this is optimal because the Y key is to the left of the middle in the main key cluster also it drives me nuts I can't get a split keyboard cause no one makes one with Y on the left split where it belongs

Salt Fish posted:edit; also I'm slower at dvorak. The day I started I took this test with qwerty and my first score was 97wpm: http://typing-speed-test.aoeu.eu/?lang=en My dvorak score today on the first go was 76. this is a really bad typing test that will inflate the gently caress out of your score install gtypist and use theirs instead, since it will give you more representative sample passages

Roosevelt posted:tenkeyless is actually really bad give me like two tenkeys personally I don't understand the draw of tenkeyless boards really. I mean, a trackball is no more or less comfortable with or without a tenkey, and that's the correct mouse to use

I put a tenkeyless on my living room tv-puter to save room on the coffee table. I don't ever do anything even remotely work-like up there and even still it's a pain in the rear end. just entering a credit card number to order a pizza without a numpad sucks rear end in a top hat
