I’ve recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I’m probably not as efficient as I could be.
Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?
Yes, QWERTY. But I’m just old enough to actually have typing class as an elective in high school, not sure if that’s still a thing in 2026. It was useful and being into tech I knew it was something I’d need to learn.
I’ll add that the keyboard you’re using is important for touch typing. Some keyboards don’t have good bumps/notches on the keys which makes it harder to do any real touch typing without looking down at the keyboard.
