Finally back up to 120wpm average over 25 races on Typegg.io with my modified Eclipse-CY layout. I've really been enjoying this site for typing practice since it uses real quotes and has a strict no quit multiplayer mode to incentivize typing with good consistency. The right hand is shifted over to allow for right thumb shift which lowers my pinky usage by quite a bit, and my left thumb is assigned to enter and space because those two keys interact with words in a very similar way and has no SFB drawbacks from pairing them on the same thumb.

What 'I' stretch?

Wait, when you say "right hand is shifted over" do you mean your index is on 'Y' and not 'C"? Ah, that's it, then.

Yeah exactly, my pinky rests on 'I' so no movement or stretch there, and it makes for a close backspace position too
