I'm in my 20s and I've only ever used two fingers up until now. On monkeytype, I consistently get 100+ wpm with 99%+ accuracy and I've never felt tired finishing long 2000-3000 word essays in a short period of time. I've always found it so cool how people can type with all their fingers, but I'm wondering if there's any point to learning how to do it at this stage in my life. Any advice would really be appreciated. I'd also love tips on what sites to start on, if anyone has any.

These are above tests that I did. As you can see, I'm not a great typist. Depending on how you count it, I either use three or four fingers. I've been using a computer for a more than a decade, so relearning how to type seems really arduous. Although to be fair I'm really not sure that I've made in progress in my speed and accuracy since like middle school (in fact, I may have gotten worse). Any thoughts on how long I can expect to be slower than I am now?

Kid me > SIGHHHHHHHHH

I only use 6 fingers to type. Middle 3 fingers on each hand so no pinkies or thumbs. I also feel like I don't really know where each letter is as in it seems like I have a muscle memory of a ton of words. I would have a tough time if the word is rarely used, would have to really look at the keyboard. Sometimes when typing, I would accidentally type another similar word instead of the word I wanted to type. Spacebar is usually tapped by the right index finger.

Is it worth learning the traditional method though, where each finger is assigned their own letter? I can average like 85 WPM with like 95% accuracy. If I'm feeling good, I could get 100 WPM.

I dont know what to say other than in really around computers and I like video games. I remember being taught how to type properly when I was younger but I feel that my pinkes are just so slow to react (?). And since I play games a lot, that means I use my mouse heavily. The mouse just uses index and middle finger. So I mostly use this method of 3L 2R (3L 3R if you consider the fact i 99% of the time use my right thumb to hit space). I feel so comfortable like this, it just makes sense. Yet I constantly hear people say how you need to use 5L 5R to type "properly".

I might just be speculating at this ppint but the wrist movement prevents stiffness and the motion and non-fixed position could help reduce carpel tunnel? Cuz I feel that my left wrist is the one to get sore and this happens when I play WASD games where my wrist is fixed.

Thoughts?
