    Yes, I touch-type, and use a kinesis advantage keyboard that makes touch typing "almost unavoidable" (as one blogger wrote). I also use the Dvorak layout, and get nearly 100 wpm without really trying (and using low-effort brain-to-keyboard data transfer is the way to go, imho).

      Been a touch typist for a while now, but I prefer my IBM Model M as a daily driver. I have a new modern take on the IBM Model F coming in in a few weeks that I'm very stoked about. Buckling spring switches are the best keyboard types ever made.

          Yes, QWERTY at 110wpm with standard left hand and only using index and middle fingers on my right hand, on a normal ISO layout on my Wooting 80HE.
