Title: OT: Non-Standard Typists, what boards do you use?
Post by: NewToKeyboards on Sat, 27 August 2016, 06:16:33

I am not sure how many other people out there are not standard typists, and by that I mean you do not float your hands above the board, and you do not use home row. But I was wondering what keyboards do you all use and who out there does not use the 'proper' typing technique? I know that out of the keyboards that I have had there were two that had a lip right at the front of the board that would cut into your hands if you had your hands on the desk whilst typing, but the K70 that I have does not have that lip, even without the wrist rest.

Thanks for the input in advance!

Truth!
Type the way you want to type, the way that makes sense for you and the way you get good results.

I tried learning home row not too long ago, but I really was not a fan of trying to change my technique that I have built up over time :P
