I had computer keyboards in mind when posting this, but players of the instrument are welcome to answer too :D

    Yes, QWERTY at 110wpm with standard left hand and only using index and middle fingers on my right hand, on my Wooting 80HE.

    Been a touch typist for a while now, but I prefer my IBM Model M as a daily driver. I have a new modern take on the IBM Model F coming in in a few weeks that I’m very stoked about. Buckling spring switches are the best keyboard types ever made.

    Yes, I touch-type, and use a kinesis advantage keyboard that makes touch typing “almost unavoidable” (as one blogger wrote). I also use the Dvorak layout, and get nearly 100 wpm without really trying (and using low-effort brain-to-keyboard data transfer is the way to go, imho).

    I can, until i realize that I’m doing it, then it just all goes to shit and i have to switch back to hunt and peck.

    I can ten-key like a mother fucker though, used to work at a bank doing data entry…

    Got tendonitis, so I used Kinesis Advantage for many years. Then the Glove80 came out, which I consider even better than any of the Kinesis Advantage, and I’ve had all models. And yes, I type without looking.

    I can’t even imagine not typing blind, without looking at keys.

    Fun fact: My left hand is not 10-finger-syste-positioned but WASD gamer-system positioned. Works fine anyway for blind and fast typing.

    QWERTZ. Cherry Keyboard, mechanical keys, full with numpad.

    I did look into alternative layouts like DVORAK a long time ago, but it didn’t seem worth the investment of relearning. Current works good enough. (Even as a coder where parens and braces are more cumbersome than EN layouts.)

      Hilarious to me that you learned to type from gamer-position, while l learned to game from typing position.

    Yes, I love typing and do it quickly. I guess I prefer QWERTY but only because that’s the one I learned on and got good at. I hate keys that are too flat, like laptops and some office keyboards trying too hard to look streamlined.

    When I’m thinking of how to spell a word, in my mind’s eye I see it being typed out and that’s how I find the correct spelling.

      Wait what? Why would you add such absurd context? What’s next? You use Dvorak but only on columnar staggered split layouts?

          It’s absurd because one does not learn Dvorak without taking effort to do so. You usually have to be already proficient before you switch to Dvorak. I’d expect you to be a touch typist in another layout before Dvorak.

          It would be different if you didn’t say “only in”

    QWERTY at about 130-140 wpm, but not 10 finger. 10 finger ortholinear about 100 wpm, and about 90 wpm on staggered. As I was trying workman, I managed to type at about 50-60 wpm.

    Yes, I can touch-type.
    I prefer colemak but abandoned it due to the prevalence of QWERTY.
    I quite like 60% boards with tactile and clicky switches.
    I’ve only used a few makes so i couldn’t say if i preferred one over another.

    Yes, my keyboard has no markings to indicate letters save for the standard two raised small bars on f and j so I can feel for orientation as per standard keyboard fare.

    I use the QWERTY layout on a firmware flashed zsa voyager split ortholinear keyboard.
