    I still benefit from taking typing in HS. That said, I'm sure you can l using any of the online typing tutors today. The *main* thing is: don't at the keyboard, no matter what. This'll slow you down at first, but in end, you'll be a much faster typist, even with the inevitable mistakes.
    Yeah, I've been a fan of this method for a while, doesn't hurt that I started getting into artsy mechianical keebs.

    Big mechanical keyboard fan here! Although I'm not sure whether they're artsy or not :)

    I got a ZSA Moonlander a few months ago and adore it, but it takes work to adapt and I've heard that some end up walking away unhappy, so I guess caveat emptor, but if you DO adapt you may well love yours as I do mine.

    Much less strain on wrists and shoulders.

    On the topic of touch typing training, the Moonlander came with a fun modern game that teaches touch typing called "Epistory". I play a fair amount still despite having long since adapted to the keyboard.

    (I'd paste the URL but I can't figure out how from SyncTerm on Linux/KDE :)
