How do I stop failing at typing?

[xXBeibsFan119Xx]

I use to have the same attitude, but then I went cold turkey and forced myself to type properly. Slow at first, but I got my speed back in a few days. Totally worth it.

been using homerow keys, speed is estimated to be 60 wpm, because I have trouble typing stuff that Is on a screen, rather I'm faster typing stuff in my head.
The thing is, QWERTY system was meant to slow down people at typing at the time it was invented because they were typing so fast that the typewriter couldn't keep up with it.(it was using the DJOVAK system, something I'm thinking about switching to.)

Still, QWERTY is the de facto standard, which means you're going to have to switch a lot. I don't get why you need a really high typing speed though.

I don't use the traditional home keys but I still use all my fingers and can type fairly quickly without looking at the keyboard.
for my left hand I use my gaming keys (w-a-d-shift-space) and my right hand just goes wherever and locates the keys I need.

This is basically what i do.

Your comments are invalid due to your face.

I always adapted new techniques to typing. In first grade it was 1 finger, in third grade it was 3 fingers and in 6th grade we learned how to type regularly. It's a much faster and better way to type.

I think faster than I can talk.
So I tend to stutter here and there.

I had to take a typing class in 6th grade as a graduation requirement, and now I can type at 50 words per minute with really high accuracy.  However, that does not usually mean I can think that fast when writing an english paper or something.  Once you become really good at typing, you move past the whole "home row" thing and generally just briefly brush your index fingers over the bumps on the f and j keys to make sure your fingers are in the right place, then just kinda poop out letters like crazy.

i use two index fingers too

i did something like this, but i just used my way whenever the teacher wasn't looking so i was at 60wpm at times and 20wpm when i had to home row

i hate homerow

Honestly, I've never had a mentality about it. My fingers just slowly memorized subconsciously where the keys were and so now I can type without thinking about what finger is hitting what key and just do it.

That's what I pretty much do. I remembered the location of the keys and just go along. How ever my fingers tend to lock up if I type to fast.

I always end up freestyling. My highest WPM in 6th grade computers class was 121 (not to brag :x)
Like, I can start off with the "normal person" kind, but always end up having my fingers fly around the board.

I use a home-row sort of thing, it's not exactly home row, but I rest my fingers on ASDF JKL; if I have nothing else to type (unless i'm playing a game or something, then they probably rest on WAD and my mouse).

I just don't use the home row finger strokes.

I always keep my left hand's thumb on the keyboard so I can type much faster, rather than using both my right and left thumb to space, it's kind of awkward. My left hand covers 1/4th of the keyboard (the left side), while my right hand covers the other section of the keyboard.

[Becquerel]

For me, Home row is absolute bullstuff.

For me, when I lay my fingers down, I just have my hands fly all over the keyboard.
