Do you type a lot? Do you look at the keyboard when typing?
- drusepth 5y agoI'm both a coder and an author, so I'd say I'd type a LOT (I have a little under 2.5 million words written in my Grammarly total over the past few years and I wrote 50k in 30 days a few months ago for National Novel Writing Month, but I'm generally pretty much always coding and/or writing). I don't look at the keyboard. There's a few spots you can touch-anchor with on the LYB (both with fingers and e.g. wrists) so you don't really have much problem with drift, which was my main issue at the start. It's a slightly different stance than the typical only-fingertips-touch one I use on "real" keyboards and you need a little bit of the muscle memory you have on e.g. hitting multiple physical keys at once and making sure they register in the correct order, but I type roughly 120WPM on touch and ~130WPM on tactile. The convenience factor for the former makes it so much more worthwhile for on-the-go writing IMO.
