that was my point. the two little lumps on 'f' and 'j' are so you know where to put your pointer fingers in the dark. touch typers feel for them so they can type without looking. It's cool that you can just do that, without knowing, over time.
- lostcolony 5y agoTo be fair, as someone who is similar in not using touch typing (but hits high wpm), new keyboards do throw me a little bit, and it takes me 10-30 minutes on one to get my error rate back down to negligible. That said, I instinctively know when I have typed an error, even on a new keyboard, and so am already moving to hit backspace before my brain even goes "oops, wait, you made a mistake", so the new keyboard is really just slowing me down rather than leading to bad output.
