   @ai6yr when I learned typing (yeah I had typing in F3/Y9 at HS) hands across F & J key using all the fingers. That allows you to ‘touch-type’ at 40 wpm+. A key signature is lighter Pp & Qq because you use your L & R pinkies. Hard work to get even keystroke pressure.

   Modern laptops have killed k/b typing with their spongy, zero effort travel & their shoddy design. Hence I stick with my honkin’ DAS keyboard with blue cherry switches for non laptop work. It’s all about the sound feedback.
