Well... Ill explain for somebody who doesnt know:
Those are four your index finger. For the left and right hand.
So you can always have a base point for your typing without looking
But I only have two index fingers. Is that why I’m not good at typing?
I mostly type with my index and middle fingers only and type 144+ wpm lol... My wife's always like "wth"
I’ve met a few people like that. Often they don’t go to the gym or do any form of exercise so this is how they choose to exert around 5,000 to 7,000N/cm2 for each of those keystrokes.
With not a millimetre of irony in their face they then tell you they need this brand of mechanical keyboard because the “cheaper ones all break”.
I had to break the nerd cycle that don't touch grass, I gym 2 hours a day every day after work. And, don't you know? The loudest keyboard in the office is the most dominate!! 😂
It's not just typing speed. It's also comfort and strain on your wrists and hand muscles.
Good typing position significantly reduces the risks of carpal tunnel syndrome, among other things.
I strongly disagree. I firmly believe that the "proper form" you and I were taught is why carpal tunnel is so common(I don't think it one size fits all) People should do what's comfortable for them. In fact, I'm pushing mid-30 and when I use proper form I get uncomfortable pain, and if I get a chair that doesn't line up the armrest with my desk perfectly I also get uncomfortable pain. It's possible that growing up with computers like I did I found what just worked for me, but I've never found the proper form comfortable. I've had computer classes up into my adult life.
With a good chair (my Herman) and wrist rest (a wood block) I've had 0 pain and work at my computer 8+ hours a day. I never leave my desk with any strain.
Hell almost every engineer I know doesn't type properly. For me, the real problem is I always tuck a foot under me and sit on it. 😂
Cool.
Yessir the right way to learn to type was to out spam the spammers in world chat on WoW and trade 1 world on RS in 2005.
whoosh
I'll fuckin bite because everyone else missed it.
How are these suppose to help when I have 144+ index fingers??? There's not enough keys, let alone keys with whatever those little lines are
Ooooh. Thanks for the explanation!
cant you tell where your fingers are by just looking at what keys appear on your screen?
Back in the typewriter era it will cost you whiteouts every time you do this.
would looking down to see the key cost too much time?
