Get really into an MMO

Trying to keep up on AOL instant messenger back in 1999 is what worked best for me.

StarCraft: Brood War.

Not even kidding. Gotta get that APM up somehow.

And you gotta be even quicker if you wanna throw in some BM.

I used to use typing.com, but for the last two layouts I learned, just keybr. It adds keys slowly, and makes sure you "level up" to more keys in a uniform way.

Mavis Beacon, ofc

Mario Teaches Typing

Check out typecelerate.com. It will help identify letters, bigrams, and trigrams that you mess up or slow you down, then focuses your practice on them. Lots of settings to tweak, so adding symbols and numbers is easy to do.

typershark if you can find it.

Give me a keyboard that shocks me if I use the wrong finger to type a letter.

AOL Instant Messenger

i suck with the number row, too, because i was ill and in the hospital during that part of the term i took a typing class during high school. text i can do at ~ 100wpm and i'm a monster on 10-key, standard or inverted. while i am getting better in the decades since, the number row and the symbols on it still slow me down.

Personally, I like to gamify learning new skills.

Typing of the Dead is a great game to help you with accuracy. Typing games are a genre as well, and I believe theres a free Warhammer 40K typing game you can get on steam. Really improves the dopamine of getting good typing skills

I just use Firefox, TextEdit, Pages, or whatever I'm typing in.

(Mac user. Replace the second one with Notepad and the third one with Word if you know Microsoft stuff more.)

Mastery is a moving target. Better to recognise we are just always learning. We can always improve.
