Implying a mech keyboard will make a difference, nice one!

 

Practice on typing tutor programs. Focus on efficiency over speed, speed will come in time.

They can help. yes. But it's more so because they tend to be higher quality and more comfortable. Finding a comfortable keyboard is key, and that will be different for everyone.

I've heard forcing yourself not to look at your keyboard helps improve your speed.

 

I dunno any other tips, I learnt to type fast because of MSN messenger

Its all about those volumetric clouds

Yeah, I think (maybe) that's where AlwaysFSX was going with his comments. Strangely I don't ever look at my keyboard while typing.

Uh, typing is almost entirely muscle memory. And a bit of ergonomics. Type properly with minimal wasted movements, then it's practice practice practice.

What do you mean memorize? You don't really need to memorize to type, right? Muscle memory isn't something where you have to remember every particular letter. Also, whenever I attempt to type quicker I also double tap a key by accident or end up hitting two keys at the same time.

Get a mechanical keyboard and keep typing... I type a book once (don't ask me why) and my wpm went from from 88 to 110 on the same keyboard. There's a website that can measure your type speed too...called 10fingers or smth. The reason why I can't go any faster than 110 is because I don't type with all my fingers.

That's what I was saying. I was replying to someone who made it sound like you had to mentally memorize every key consciously. I was supporting what you're saying silly :P
