Wow I didn’t even know touch typing was a thing. Thought people just knew minus old people poking keyboards. To be fair I do vaguely remember my middle school computer science class consisted of typing games so guess I was on the right track.

He was very strict in class. But was somehow a favorite. Was a huge proponent in teaching Excel and HTML coding in class not just basic computer knowledge. And that he was really into PC gaming. And in early 2000s, it was a surprise to see an adult be passionate about technology that wasn't working in tech.

most people in my school learned how to touch type when they were in 3rd grade but can't touch type because the school gives you an ipad in middle school

This is exactly me too lol.

On a related note, spacebar going spongy is frequently the stab stems slipping out, if you press both corners to slip them back in it usually comes back to life

Wow that sounds intense! I can't imagine an entire class typing at 75+. Most people I know type around 40-50 wpm.

The piano analogy really makes sense though. Because I learned piano before I learned typing, float typing was the default position for me. Never needed wrist rests.

We had dedicated 2 years worth of computer literacy in middle school. The goal was to have everyone be a touch typist by the end. Correct hand placement, type using all your fingers and at least 40 WPM after the first year. Then 75 WPM in the following year. During exams, we'd be tested one by one typing passages with our teacher (Mr. Dwight) checking our hands, checking we don't glance down, and making notes. He'd actually tap our wrists with a ruler, when we dropped it. Saying we'd regret bad posture as we grew older.

Still remember my teacher's words in class, "type like you are playing the piano in a concerto".

Hehe here ya go!

the problem my left-shift key does not work I press it on the left edge of the keycap, and it only works if press it in the center what could be the problem?

lmao, if this isn't me XD

You are 3/4 elephant

You can do that in monkeytype lol

One of them is the f8 key which I never even use. It just randomly fell in half.

Ah, of course.

I have a GMK set and a Drop BOW set and the Drop are almost identical. Legends are slightly thinner but actually sharper and plastic feels a little lighter

i think that dinosaur ate them

This guy typing force is measured in kilos not gs

Tbh I actually hate staebies. The tighter tolerances make them feel like they are holee modded which is bad IMO. This also creates problems if the plate/pcb is slightly warped as the stem rubs against the housing. Light lube helps, but you can’t put too much or they won’t return at all. I’d use durock or wuque before staebies. There’s a reason why stabilizers never had tolerances that tight before.

i have the same case! i like it

In Elementary school (mid-2000s), we had a computer literacy class where most of it was just using the Mavis Beacon typing program. God I hated it so much, but looking back, it was super effective in teaching me to type properly with the home row and whatnot.

They didn't explicitly cover our hands like the other commenter, but touch typing came pretty naturally when drilling in the "correct" finger for each key. The bar for passing was pretty low too, only 35 wpm haha.

caps are too weak

Agreed?

Edit: I post a comment consisting of 2 objectively correct statements: -9 votes. Someone replies to my comment, saying the exact same thing: +9 votes.

Sometimes I just don't understand reddit.

Yeah, the kind that GMK uses lol. I'll stick to PBT for cheap keycaps from now on.

That said I'm thinking of replacing the set with DROP DCX keycaps which are also high quality ABS.
