normally anything below 30 in my opinion is you still looking at the keyboard learn how to type by touch so I would say you need to work on that :)

Wow, didn't know typing could be that slow.... Jk. But really, if you're typing an average of one word every 3 seconds, you should think about improving. A minimum of 40 words per minute is good for most things. I used to look at my keyboard as I typed with only my 2 main fingers, and I got a consistent 30wpm. Now, after a month of training with all four fingers as a touch typist, I'm getting a consistent 60wpm, and I love how easy it is to type now and see exactly when you make a mistake

That's super slow!! dude has to be trolling

I don't think he is trolling. I was at about 25 wpm the first time I used typeracer with the colemak layout.

Yeah, I started out at like 5 WPM when I switched to Colemak around January or so, then averaged around 10 and have slowly been working my way up. It was pretty frustrating at first due to muscle memory, but after practicing some more it got better, and it's a lot more comfortable than QWERTY for me.

OP, just keep typing, go slow so your fingers get to 'memorize' where they should go, and soon enough it'll come naturally.

I don't remember anything about when I was learning qwerty because I was at like 80 wpm before I even remember. But my experience with learning Dvorak was to memorize the layout and associate each key with a specific finger and a movement of that finger. For example on qwerty, R would be left pointer finger top row. And L would be right ring finger home row and so on. Once you memorize this, try not to look at the keyboard. Keep practicing and at some point, your fingers will naturally move to the key you want to hit.
