My typing speed is not that good, its about 40 words per minute. But there are people who can type at more than 100 words per minute.

What is your typing speed? Does typing speed really matter?

    Pretty cool.

    QWERTY is the only layout I am familiar with. How long does it take you to learn a new layout?

      You can get passable in a week, and back up to your usual speed in around 2 months. Don’t get me wrong its a difficult process, and it takes discipline to not revert back, so a lot of people give up after a week or so.

      The best advice I can give is to switch, then go through the tutorials at typing.com or anywhere else, with the new layout, every day. It does a lot of repetitive exercises to get the new keys wired into your muscle memory.
