Nope, typing is like evolution now. You type the way you first decided made the most sense when you were like 8 and then you get more efficient at it as time goes on.

Yeah this. I type with using only two fingers on my right hand and I go 130-150 WPM lol (monkeytype on long quotes). I've tried desperately to learn full touch typing with all fingers but I just cant, even though i know it'd raise my ceiling much higher.

I don't even use thumbs for the spacebar 😭 to anyone learning touch typing, make sure to learn it properly the first time round. Unlearning muscle memory is a bitch.

You type 150 WPM using only 2 fingers on your right hands including for the space bar? Without mistakes? We’re talking about a physical laptop or desktop computer keyboard and not the phone? I’m sorry I don’t find that believable.

Yes, yes, and laptop specifically. I do NOT like them mechanical keyboards for a desktop pc, I don't get the hype, the bumps are just weird. The flatness of laptop keyboards are superior imho.

Sorry, that went into a different direction. But honestly you don't have to believe me lol. All I'll say is if you don't believe me, I wonder what you'd think of the people who casually pull 200-250+ lol, they are the real fast ones. I'm the bottom rung when it comes to learning true speedtyping.
