>spend almost all my time near keyboards >can't touch

If you're not too poor, get a mechanical keyboard that you enjoy typing on. I suggest an IBM Model M for maximum finger swole. I prefer topre but that's pricey. After you get one you'll like the feel so much you'll want any excuse to type. Go on typeracer and do a few races every day, and that's it. I can touch type 100wpm on average now, and it feels pretty good.

Friendlet detected. I learned to touch type because fast conversations on MSN/fb chat/etc demanded it

OP, ignore this. Mechanical keyboards are great, but they won't teach you to touch type.
Make sure you have proper hand position at home row. Do not look at the keyboard when you type. If you have to just hit random shit until you find your letter, do it. It will be annoying, but if you type on a remotely regular basis, you will have the layout memorized in short order, and then you'll just get faster over time. Just like with lifting, use proper form, even if it means you type slower than you would otherwise. It's the best for you long-term.

lmao it's as if you didn't spend your teens playing RPGs

How can you not touch type when there are grooves on the F and J?

>have mechanical keyboard for more than a year
>still bottoming out
I guess old habits die hard

>>39533705
Tape a piece of paper over your keyboard and keep your hands under it. For the first couples days to week you'll get frustrated and have trouble typing but after a while of not seeing the keys you'll develop the muscle memory.

Anyone else here type with two fingers per hand?

I can't be bothered to learn how to use all my fingers

I type with three + thumb for space and pinky for enter, if that counts.

Yeah I do also, I took computer classes in school but It just was so fucking annoying doing homerow and dedicating so much time to it.

I can type not looking with like 98% accuracy and it's fast, years of playing vidya and talking online just ingrained the keyboard into my mind
