Bad video 'cause I had to do it on my phone and couldn't figure out a good spot to set it up. But should be able to get the idea. Wow, your typing style is exactly the same as mine. It looks like you use your left ring finger for QAZ, as do I, but otherwise only use your left and right index fingers, and your right middle finger. It results in a lot of moving around the keyboard, but being tall and having larger hands somewhat mitigates this. Your hands even look somewhat lanky like mine. It's strange that we both independently established the same unorthodox typing habit. | ||

Just learning on our own and 3 people come up with the same style? O__O | ||

I never learned to type properly in school (they used to but a cardboard blind over our hands and tried to enforce that "home position" stuff) but I can easily type with accuracy without looking; I usually screw up letters' syntaxes (say, typing letetr instead of letter, due to the alternating finger patten) rather than being inaccurate on the board. Ironically, in the real world, I learned to type very quickly on the numberpad (type by touch) at my job due to the extremely simple computer programs could be run 90% with just the numberpad, and I used it every day for five years. I have no idea what my WPMs are or could be, but I know I can type considerably faster off hand when I'm agitated rather than actually trying hard to type fast. | ||

I know where all the keys are and I memorized so many words already(which makes it even faster), it's not a problem. Additionally, because of writing with just two fingers, I pretty much never make any mistakes. Also, having rather flat keys certainly helps. /edit: And remember that using my middle finger for shift doesn't count. | ||
