Hey there! Thanks for checking out Typing Tech!
My name is Holden and I am the owner of typingtech.com. I have always had a fascination with learning to type faster and I love keyboards. It sounds really weird when you think about it because… It’s just a keyboard dude. When I discovered the community of mechanical keyboards, I loved typing even more. I think it’s really cool that you can customize your own keyboard and make them sound oh so sweet. Although I think that it’s insane that you can spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a keyboard, I would definitely spend a lot if I had the money to blow.
My Typing Experience
I have loved typing since I taught myself how to touch type. Before then, I was your typical index finger typist. Back in high school, before I could type with all my fingers, I saw that all my classmates could type way faster than me. Since I had several classes where I had to write papers, I thought it was ridiculous to not learn how to touch type. I did take a typing class in middle school where they make you cover the keyboard, but I hated it then so I cheated all the time and took off the cover to see the keys. BIG MISTAKE… I didn’t learn how to type at all
So I got to work and spend time everyday on typing websites learning each key and the process was very painful. After a few months, I had gotten my typing speed up to 35 words per minute and I was thrilled! At this point I could practically type every key without having to look down at my hands. I was very pleased with my progress and from that point and I still believe that it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
