Hey - see my reply to the top comment on this thread about my experience with hand pain. > I wonder whether it is just a lack of getting used to it or whether people who do the full on touch typing a lot just fuck up their body regularly. For me it was a matter of getting used it and building up that finger dexterity. Mind you, I now use an ortho, split keyboard (Kinesis adanvatage 2 ) and touch typing on it, hitting "c" feels natural for me. I can see how on other keyboards it may not be the case. Touch typing "best practice" is after all just a general guideline. These things vary so much because everyone has different keyboards, different sized hands (different finger length). My suggestion is to focus on not tensing up and using just enough force to trigger the key when typing. Starting from touch typing and then adjusting the technique to your own preferences over time. I've seen typist who do 200wpm+ by a technique that they came up on their own based on touch typing.
