Never could follow the formal teaching of home keys and full 5-finger typing. I don’t use my pinkies and my fourth finger is only used for outliers, but I’m still pretty quick and don’t have to look.

I had a typing class in middle school, but I was taking a while to get up to the speed of my classmates so I started cheating on the occasional typing speed tests and looked at the keyboard and never really learned as a result. Recently however, I’ve started using a typing practice website and now I can type mostly without looking. Not the fastest, but I’ll get there with practice
