What???

Do you mean to tell me that some people type using more than 2 fingers!!!

How I envy those who can type faster than my 11 words per minute... :)

Gray, the most common layout in Russia is:

` @ # $ % ^ & |

ё " № ; % : ? /

qwertyuiop[]

йцукенгшщзхъ

asdfghjkl;'

фывапролджэ

zxcvbnm,. / ?

ячсмитьбю . ,

"phonetic" layout, when Russian keys match similar Latin keys is used by some emigrants who don't have a Russian keyboard (though it is possible to buy stickers).

Yeah, laptop keypads are really terrible on feedback. Too flat and no click. I never had reason to go beyond two index - two thumb typing, but I must say old style gold plated mechanical switch keypads were way better than this flat capacitive crаp. There was a distinct mechanical resistance and audio feedback on those keypads. I often wonder just how much grief they give to the visually impaired.

Very interesting! Yeah, I'm typing on a laptop. Maybe I should try an external keyboard. It's also difficult for me to type in a steady rhythm. Some words are just easier to type than others. But I'm sure that I can still refine my typing system.

If you type this search into google you get thousands of hits. "online typing simulators"

The one above was at the top of the list it starts with a one minute test.

Be careful not to stray into the gaming zone unless you want to.

You can become faster and faster just by constant practice. Be determined not to look down at the keyboard for the first few weeks.

You can use the links to practice; being careful not to sign up for anything until after doing research as to the quality of training and it's recognition.
