You can be a touch typist without using the strict home row and finger placement. I would actually argue that the home row concept isn't ideal for developers especially. My fingers actually rest between the keys, and I know I press keys with the "wrong" fingers (easy to notice on ergonomic keyboards), but I do not have to look at my keys and I type around 70 words per minute without feeling like I'm rushing.
- iamatworknow 10y agoI touch type around 90 WPM and never took a class on it. After years of video gaming my "home row" is resting my left hand on WASD and my right hand takes care of everything right of RFV. And like you said, ergonomic keyboards are basically unusable to me.
