If you keep your eyes on the screen and never look at the keyboard while doing that, then that's impressive. Otherwise, you're a worthless poseur. :p On Keyhero, every error you make is automatically caught and immediately lit up, making it trivial to catch and correct errors. Can you get that kind of speed and accuracy without that immediate error feedback?

Yeah, I never look at the keyboard as I type. And I probably couldn't without the feedback, no. But that's normal, no? For people who don't have crazy 120+ speeds, it's probably true for most of us, right?

Well, what I was getting at with the feedback thing was that you need to always be looking at the screen so you can quickly catch and correct errors. I thought if you were always looking back and forth between your screen and your keyboard (which I presume to be the norm for people who use only two fingers), then your speed/accuracy would take a serious hit without Keyhero's error feedback. But you claim to always keep your eyes on the screen, so never mind.

That's pretty good for two fingers, I thought it was closer to 6 finger methods that were capable of those speeds. There are other benefits to touch typing than just speed.

I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't glance at the keyboard while typing with just two fingers, perhaps the keyboard is entirely in your field of view while typing, this would not be ideal.

Perhaps touch typing could reduce strain on your pointer fingers.

It's definitely a little shady not looking at times when only using two fingers. For example, when any sentence starts with an "A" or similar, it's not always easy to readjust afterwards. However, I don't look down, because I have enough difficulty remember what's ahead even when I'm looking right at it, lol. I could probably push 100 with two fingers if my mental map of the keyboard was a bit better defined, but it's not so easy when using only 2 fingers, and even now I sometimes have full seconds where I forget where the next key is. Honestly, my method is pretty laughably bad, but it's all I know, and I was wondering if anyone did the same.

If it's working for you it's really not a problem, I'd doubt many other people would do the same just as it seems a much harder task than either the hunt-and-peck (looking at the keyboard while typing) or touch typing. It seems people either realise the shortfall of looking and switch to touchtyping or just stick with hunt-and-peck; from what you're saying you've created a fairly accurate mental map of 30+ 5mm squares where a touch typist needs a relatively simpler mental map of 10 fingers +/- a 5mm step. So personally I don't really ever forget a key when I type, I'm adapted where my fingers are already placed on the next keys to type while I type the current letter, which sometimes but less as times goes on results in bad ordering.

Yeah, the mental map is very rough. I don't even think about where the keys are when I type, because if I try to remember where everything is, it inevitably slows me down. I just have to rely on my memory. Hell, I tend to maintain 110-120 wpm when I'm just not missing, but the biggest shortcoming is that fixing my mistakes is a massive pain, it's really hard to reorient yourself with just two fingers, and so, when it rains, it pours, as far as mistakes go.

While it may be impressive to type 85 wpm like that, I think it would probably help to learn how to type properly with all your fingers. Even though your speed will drop at first, you will easily exceed 85 wpm using all of your fingers.

Well, certainly. I'm only not doing it because I don't really feel I need to type that much faster than I currently am. If I can use a shortcut and type at almost 100 WPM, I figure I'll be fine. I'm lazy, but yeah, obviously if I were to try to learn how to actually properly type, I'd do better.

OK if anyone says that again they are blind idiots. I can't even type that fast! You need to show them who's higher. That average is higher than most! I always type weirdly using my fingers in wrong places sometimes but that's how I got my highest score at 62.<something> WPM.

I don't think the guy who said, "Don't worry about accuracy. Focus on speed," should be calling anyone else a blind idiot.

OH. MY. GOD.
I learned touch typing more than two years ago, and I've been constantly training since. I did like an hour per day for these two years, and only now am able to come close to averaging 85WPM. When I type at that kind of speed I feel like my fingers are flying. I cannot imagine how is it possible to type that fast with 2 fingers.
If you check some statistics, you can see that 85WPM makes you top 10% of typers in the world, and it is way above average.
So don't listen to those making fun of you - but decide for yourself. Maybe you want to switch to 10-finger method. It has more benefits than just speed. But you absolutely can continue typing as you do, your speed is more than enough.

Right, that's my reasoning. I know very well that it's really not a good method at all, and looks positively ridiculous, but as long as I can type fast with decent accuracy, I don't care enough to learn an entirely different method. Also, sorry about having that speed without knowing anything or doing any training, lol. I honestly feel kinda bad.

Wow, that's actually cool, I can't type with only one finger. I have to use all or most of my fingers to hit certain keys, but not a lot, most I actually use my pointer fingers, but some I reach with others, and I can type and look at the screen, I don't have to look at the keyboard, and I get 70-120 WPM average

This is actually kind of cool! Once you get used to it.

I'm struggling to imagine how it is possible to type so fast with just 2 fingers. If it is indeed possible then your forearms must be moving about at a considerable rate of knots which must be incredibly fatiguing. I can't begin to imagine how you could keep up this pace for more than a few minutes. I'd love to see a video of your performance.
Also I would think that you would be exerting considerable down pressure on your 2 index finger tips as you crash down on each different key. It also seems difficult for you to get accuracy, especially at those speeds. When someone uses 10 fingers their hands remain almost in the same position over the keyboard most of the time. Therefore the positionn of the keys relative to the position of the hands is constant. Hence returning to the home keys. This regulated situation would be completely destroyed with your 2 finger system; your hands would be forced to move all the time so your index fingers would be in a position to reach the individual keys.
The more I think about your system the more improbable it seems.

You can probably play piano with 2 fingers.
