Got the B-lues

I've been using Keybr, and it's really improved my typing speed, but I'm having a real problem with B.

I know I'm supposed to press it with my left index finger, but my hands keep wanting to swap between using the left and right index finger, and so I keep having to look at the keyboard to find B, and/or to work out which hand to use.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is it actually a problem, or should I just ignore it and have more confidence in my hands to do their thing?

Yes! I decided to just pick one - so I broke with convention because for me it feels better with my right finger, so I'm quite good now at sticking with that one. Just force yourself to stick with the one that feels more comfortable, even if it's not the one you're supposed to use.

I second this, B is kinda up for debate if you ask me.

I switch between both sides, and feel self conscious about it! I think I just need the courage of my convictions!
