The RSI thing is real. Until my late 20s I would type blindly with what I jokingly called 5 and a half fingers. But I did start to notice some strain, which is when I decided to finally teach myself "proper" touch typing. I don't think my typing got meaningfully faster, but it got smoother, and the strain went away.
- mark_undoio 2y agoGetting a split-layout "ergo" keyboard helped me learn to type better back in the day. I could already touch type fast but not with great technique. When I got a split layout key it became quite apparent that my technique was "weird" - sometimes I'd notice one hand come wandering over to the other side of the keyboard to find a key it was used to pressing. That became easy to correct once it was so visible!
