I’ve never learned to type the home row method. Since I was young I ignored the things my teacher taught me on how to properly type. I made my own method of typing and it isn’t index fingers or hunt and pec, etc. It’s just a style that I felt comfortable with and by now I’m pretty good at it and my personal best wpm is 115.

I think clearing your headspace is the best thing to do. I’ve been trying to make myself type faster over the course of about two weeks. I started out 45-55 wpm. Now I’m at 80wpm as I finally hit that I had realized I was thinking I was just doing.
OMG YES, im fixing my bad pecking habits with home row at the moment and i’ve gotten to a point, where i’ve developed new habits where i would sometimes use different fingers for keys that are close to each other. Im glad to get approval by them that is is more efficient then traditional homerow
Typing.com can help. I went back to the website to do the exercises. It help me to improve. I was at 85 wpm. Now I'm at 93 wpm and got to 103 wpm but I had to warm up in order to get 103
homerow method emphasizes to use the middle finger to type C. HOwever, many words have an E or an R after it which makes it very awkward to use the index finger to type and may actually slow you down.
Moral of the story: don't use "home row" standard taught positioning. Instead, put your fingers wherever the flip you want so you can type faster! "How can I learn the other technique?" "Oh there are no rules, just type fast."
Do you think slowing down to type properly is worth it? Given that this method will later pay off. I can type 80 wps in my way but 40wps with the proper method

I am struggling with the hitting letters with different fingers and I notice how I make more mistakes when I don't do it. It's pretty easy to press the letter c with the index in a word like "because" and the middle finger for other words but I have a difficult time with the combination of L and O as in the word "follow". I try to use the ring finger for the O and the pinky for the L but it feels really unnatural and I have to move my hand a lot. What fingers are you using for this combination?
I agree with chak, When I type, I don't use home row the way I was taught, I don't always stay on home row, for example when typing home row, I type home, and now my left middle finger is on e and my right index is on m and my right ring finger is on o so then my left hand is tilted towards r and w, I am no longer on the home row, I then adjust from there.
Ik I’m really late but I use home row method but instead I use: Left index for; f, g, h, c, v, r and t. Left middle for; e, d, x and r. Left ring for; w,s and z. Left pinky for; a, caps and q. Right index; u, y, m, n, j and h Right middle; I, k and , Right ring; o, l, . and occasionally p Right pinky; ;, / and occasionally p I also think the home row method is wrong because the human pinky can’t reach that far. Oh yeah and also either thumb is used for space bar.
Hello I have a question, so I type with my arms pretty straight with my keyboard far away from me on my table. Should I use it closer to me to improve my speed?
Personally, I started the hobby of speedtyping on a chromebook keybboard with impossibly flat keys, so typing on mechnical keyboards is really hard for me and slows down my accuracy by like 10 percent, I wish I started on a mechanical keyboard😥
@@Supersquigi bruh i have been typing on a mechanical keyboard for about a year now and I still haven't reached my typing speed on my chiclet keyboard. I'm literally stumbling over words right now as I am typing this comment.
@@ilovejoshua you do not have to use a mechanical, I would say that most people I met typing really fast were doing it on macs and membrane keyboards. Everyone has their preferred style of keyboard, and at the end of the day the only things that matters is your typing speed.
Monkeytype worked incredibly well for me. Over the last 4 months I went from 23 wpm to around a consistent 78wpm. I also recommend keybr but when you're starting out that learning style can be so frustrating it can turn you off from learning touch typing. So a mixture of both would probably be best.
I completely agree with Eiko - before I competed, I took a really hot shower and then got under some blankets and stuff. this is truly the sweatiest "sport"
I'm not that fast as them my max speed is at 110wpm only.. normal speed is 85+wpm, and fast speed 90-100+wpm. My speed improves when I let my subconscious mind do the typing and reading, not my conscious mind. Because everytime I consciously do the typing I ended up making mistakes because i became conscious of what I do. So I listen to lyrical music where my conscious mind can wander or I just daydream for distraction.. it helps my accuracy. Hope this make sense.

1:27 Finally a person who agrees with my. The home row method is terrible. Having your fingers rest in one place making akward movements to keys near you just doesnt feel right.
I want to go deep and say that psychological comfort affect ur typing speed / accuracy taking deep breath and trying to control your breath and stress while facing complicated words is the most important and basic thing .
For my personal experience as a typist, there are two ultimate ways to improve fast typing skills: (1) Put rest your fingers at the home keys. Once you start, you can easily type the other keys correctly and almost no error. (2) Do not look at the keyboard almost at all times during typing. That will boost your confidence in fast typing. You cannot quickly type if you look at the keyboard then to the computer screen and keyboard again, just to make sure that you are typing the right keys.
1:30 I also don't do home row keys. It's comfortable and annoying for me. Thank you Sean for confirming this! Edit: Chakk confirmed it too. That's really nice 😊
@@shabbirabbas5720 try getting higher. 95% is still not that bad. When you type slowly with no mistakes vs fast with mistakes you'll definitely see the difference. My aim is to get 97%-100% accuracy when typing.
Guys!!! Which community of typist do you recommend I join!. I am average tyler with 51-53wpm. I've also engaged myself in series of competition on 10fastfingers. Most importantly, I am from africa!!!
If you want to type faster just type how you can. This is the secret. When i started i dıd not follow any rule and now my typing speed is 100wmp. And type everyday minimum 30 minutes.
How long did it take you? I type alot more than you do and have been for last few years due to job being in IT and prior to this (even though I'm 23), but my wpm is probably only 40, with no improvement. I make alot of mistakes and have been over the years so then i have now gone to learning the home row method to learn the keyboard to not make them mistakes, but I am not sure the home row method even though it gives accuracy your hands feel weird and constraint/ restricted. I just don't know how to improve if i use my own method i make mistakes even though I shouldn't be since for last probably 8 years I've been typing like daily. I don't know what it is I really want to improve the other week I spent around probs 2 and half hour and other days 1 and half hours like every day or so to learn the home row. I need guidance i found your comment interesting about typing normal way, but then how shall I remove my mistakes ?
Ok an update o didn't give up and now I am making much less mistakes, my fingers don't feel uncomfortable either typing with 10 fingers. It's like at first I was spreading ice cold button on a bread price and my fingers were the bread that was breaking up due to the residence. Now it feels more like the butter is warmer and my bread and fingers are moving with it. My biggest lesson to everyone is if your using these websites the most important is don't do 2 hours and then stop and forever. Carry on to 5 hours and you will definitely see the difference. Now my wpm is still around 25 to 30 but on the keybr website i am hitting 40 plus, and have unlocked half the keyboard. Another important thing don't rely on one website if you lose focus or start to do bad go onto type racer and have a race and come back or use nitro type or money type which is really good just type a paragraph and come back you don't need to unlock all fingers just think and type you will make it easier for yourself in the future when unlocking new fingers. I will continue to update you but yes don't lose hope after first 3 hours after that is when the critical time starts.
I think the concept of the "home row" is a place to start for beginning typists in order to learn the placement of the keys. I rarely set my fingers on the home row anymore, except for when I'm taking a break to compose a thought. If I'm typing copy that I'm reading from a printed or handwritten page, my fingers never stop moving. But then again, I taught myself how to type when I was 8 years old on my grandmother's manual typewriter.
@@daskeyboard My hands move and hover over the keyboard. I do find that the 6,T,G,B row and the 7,Y,H,N row is the cutoff between what keys I'll press with my left hand and right hand, which is definitely a product of having learned "touch typing."
If I consciously think about it my fingers will be in the home row. Once I start typing and I’m no longer actually thinking about typing I’m pretty sure that my hands are actually adaptively hovering near the home row position. Then my fingers aren’t really resting on the surface of the keyboard, but my fingers touch the keys mostly only when pressing keys.
i agree with the champion. Accuraccy is EVERYTHING. Just religiously hammer the accuracy into your brain and fingers and you can go however the f*** fast you want. Try to aim for at least 98% when you are typing over 100 words. 96% is acceptable. Any lower, try to improve your accuracy. And trust me. It's all worth it.
I agree with Eiko....anytime I'm in a room with the AC on my fingers ending up getting stiff so it's not able to move as fast and I end up making more mistakes.
what I really think helps is accuracy because if you aren't accurate then you will press backspace a million times which just strains your hand I usually use keyboard short cuts, for example, control backspace(option instead of control on mac) and my ring finger for the backspace if you practice a lot on websites, that can also help, and writing stories can help however if you just typed really fast your heart is probably beating so you should not try to type again until you have waited a few minutes if you take my advice you could achieve a top speed of 161 wpm like me
i always get relatively high wpm during school breaks lmfao. its pressuring me to do the tests quickly i think. just hit 100 wpm (my new pb) a few hours ago during class.
My tip: Let’s say you have a bad pinky that has a long Nail, it’s weak, whatever. You might complain that you do not like using your pinky. You do not have to use your pinky, you should adapt your typing style to be best for speed, accuracy, and comfort.
I have noticed that with using QWERTY, that with some word combinations my fingers don't want to press certain keys, cause it ends up feeling very uncomfortable and it really screws with my accuracy/speed a lot of the time, even though I know what fingers should press what keys without looking, it's gotten to the point where I almost want to give up on QWERTY, cause I've been doing this for a long time now with little to no improvement.
I just started mechanography and the thing he said about the Y letter I found myself doing. Also with letter B and other ones. It surprised me because It was just si natural for me to do that for speed.
When chak was talking about finger placement it it showed the illustration of left hand on what seemed like on q, w, e, r and right on h, j, i, o. Is that his finger placement or just an example?
@@daskeyboard He was talking about setting your fingers up for the next word, if you keep your placement on the same keys then it will be harder to adapt.
i am no competitive typer but one thing that kind of got me into a faster typing style was taping a piece of paper over my keyboard and typing out my notes for class. and typer shark, actually.
I'm confused about using my pinky fingers, should I keep practice with them or just don't even try, because pinky fingers don't make much of a difference?
How to actually get good at typing: 6 years of wow and 4 more years of failing community college and playing 5000 hours of dota 2. There are people who love the thrill of hunting, and there are those who hunt to survive. In this case, you can't do mythic raids and be a slow typist.
I've started up again with the home row method, because I noticed I almost didn't use my pinky and ringfingers... One thing I've now learned is to use the left shift key waaaay more, which makes my right hand much faster and it doesn't have to contort itself so much anymore to get the shift key AND the + sign for example. After relearning to use ALL my fingers, I see myself switching back to a more fluid (non-home row) style of typing though.

I type alot more than you do and have been for last few years due to job being in IT and prior to this (even though I'm 23), but my wpm is probably only 40, with no improvement. I make alot of mistakes and have been over the years so then i have now gone to learning the home row method to learn the keyboard to not make them mistakes, but I am not sure the home row method even though it gives accuracy your hands feel weird and constraint/ restricted. I just don't know how to improve if i use my own method i make mistakes even though I shouldn't be since for last probably 8 years I've been typing like daily. I don't know what it is I really want to improve the other week I spent around probs 2 and half hour and other days 1 and half hours like every day or so to learn the home row. I need guidance i found your comment interesting about typing normal way, but then how shall I remove my mistakes ?
Ok an update o didn't give up and now I am making much less mistakes, my fingers don't feel uncomfortable either typing with 10 fingers. It's like at first I was spreading ice cold button on a bread price and my fingers were the bread that was breaking up due to the residence. Now it feels more like the butter is warmer and my bread and fingers are moving with it.
My biggest lesson to everyone is if your using these websites the most important is don't do 2 hours and then stop and forever. Carry on to 5 hours and you will definitely see the difference. Now my wpm is still around 25 to 30 but on the keybr website i am hitting 40 plus, and have unlocked half the keyboard. Another important thing don't rely on one website if you lose focus or start to do bad go onto type racer and have a race and come back or use nitro type or money type which is really good just type a paragraph and come back you don't need to unlock all fingers just think and type you will make it easier for yourself in the future when unlocking new fingers. I will continue to update you but yes don't lose hope after first 3 hours after that is when the critical time starts.
i can type 481 wpm with 2 % accuracy
100% relate to that first tip. Cold hands and fingers definitely slow down my typing speed a lot and causes me to make more mistakes.
I think the concept of the "home row" is a place to start for beginning typists in order to learn the placement of the keys. I rarely set my fingers on the home row anymore, except for when I'm taking a break to compose a thought. If I'm typing copy that I'm reading from a printed or handwritten page, my fingers never stop moving. But then again, I taught myself how to type when I was 8 years old on my grandmother's manual typewriter.
Do your hands move and hover over the keyboard, or do you generally keep your hand positions the same while typing?
@@daskeyboard My hands move and hover over the keyboard. I do find that the 6,T,G,B row and the 7,Y,H,N row is the cutoff between what keys I'll press with my left hand and right hand, which is definitely a product of having learned "touch typing."
If I consciously think about it my fingers will be in the home row. Once I start typing and I’m no longer actually thinking about typing I’m pretty sure that my hands are actually adaptively hovering near the home row position. Then my fingers aren’t really resting on the surface of the keyboard, but my fingers touch the keys mostly only when pressing keys.
y'all kinda forgetting Dvorak exists frfr
noice
Yes it is very noice
i agree with the champion. Accuraccy is EVERYTHING.
Just religiously hammer the accuracy into your brain and fingers and you can go however the f*** fast you want.
Try to aim for at least 98% when you are typing over 100 words. 96% is acceptable. Any lower, try to improve your accuracy. And trust me. It's all worth it.
I agree with Kathy and Sean Colemak and Dvorak are way better for homerow and I had an old 2011 keyboard and I typed the same speed.
I agree with Eiko....anytime I'm in a room with the AC on my fingers ending up getting stiff so it's not able to move as fast and I end up making more mistakes.
I'd thought thats impossible but know I see amazing people can reach 100+ wpm but me I only reach 25-30 wpm
lool I should update that mic, It's not getting a full bodiness out of my voice 😠
Yeah. Appreciate the insight though. Cheers!
@@kanugantikarthikredd Awesome!
what I really think helps is accuracy because if you aren't accurate then you will press backspace a million times which just strains your hand
I usually use keyboard short cuts, for example, control backspace(option instead of control on mac) and my ring finger for the backspace
if you practice a lot on websites, that can also help, and writing stories can help
however if you just typed really fast your heart is probably beating so you should not try to type again until you have waited a few minutes
if you take my advice you could achieve a top speed of 161 wpm like me
Sean Wrona speaks the truth.
I use voice typing lol
i always get relatively high wpm during school breaks lmfao. its pressuring me to do the tests quickly i think. just hit 100 wpm (my new pb) a few hours ago during class.
What a load of nonsense. There are no secrets here.
Pretty nice video, you earned a new sub
I got it
Surrounding affects your typing speed 🤧🤧🤧
Yikes these guys are monsters, I only average about 130-140WPM On Type Racer. XD And I average 165-175WPM On 10 Fast Fingers.
im practicing a lot but not improving
focus on accuracy speed will follow
My tip:
Let’s say you have a bad pinky that has a long Nail, it’s weak, whatever. You might complain that you do not like using your pinky. You do not have to use your pinky, you should adapt your typing style to be best for speed, accuracy, and comfort.
vielle is representing the nitro typers
I have noticed that with using QWERTY, that with some word combinations my fingers don't want to press certain keys, cause it ends up feeling very uncomfortable and it really screws with my accuracy/speed a lot of the time, even though I know what fingers should press what keys without looking, it's gotten to the point where I almost want to give up on QWERTY, cause I've been doing this for a long time now with little to no improvement.
Home row obviously doesn't make any sense if you are typing with qwerty and if you already know where each finger should go
I just started mechanography and the thing he said about the Y letter I found myself doing. Also with letter B and other ones. It surprised me because It was just si natural for me to do that for speed.
When chak was talking about finger placement it it showed the illustration of left hand on what seemed like on q, w, e, r and right on h, j, i, o. Is that his finger placement or just an example?
That animation was just an example, not necessarily to be specific on keys to start with.
@@daskeyboard He was talking about setting your fingers up for the next word, if you keep your placement on the same keys then it will be harder to adapt.
bro its nice to know that the fastest typist is turkish guy
i am no competitive typer but one thing that kind of got me into a faster typing style was taping a piece of paper over my keyboard and typing out my notes for class. and typer shark, actually.
me who used to use the same hand layout and switched to home layout: fuck.
I'm confused about using my pinky fingers, should I keep practice with them or just don't even try, because pinky fingers don't make much of a difference?
i just want to type fast :( whaaaaa..
Visualisation (is the big role in the mind to connect new neuron pathway)
Belief that you do that!
Be humble
trust me speed only comes after you master accuracy
Now that's cool. Really cool
i not hit space second thumb 1 hit space only thumb second2 thumb backwards keyboards
wow, this makes me want to be typist haha.

How to actually get good at typing: 6 years of wow and 4 more years of failing community college and playing 5000 hours of dota 2. There are people who love the thrill of hunting, and there are those who hunt to survive. In this case, you can't do mythic raids and be a slow typist.
Where can I watch the full video of what they are saying?
I've started up again with the home row method, because I noticed I almost didn't use my pinky and ringfingers... One thing I've now learned is to use the left shift key waaaay more, which makes my right hand much faster and it doesn't have to contort itself so much anymore to get the shift key AND the + sign for example. After relearning to use ALL my fingers, I see myself switching back to a more fluid (non-home row) style of typing though.
Were they chilly?
