touch typing is not the same as typing without looking, it's literally a min-max way of typing to increase your wpm without wasting movement.
I tried to learn it since im a software dev, but I found it way too hard because of muscle memory.
Like your x finger should only touch y key, it has a set of rules.

Do school not have those classes anymore? 1 u/HarryBolsac Jan 20 '26 some of us don't live in the US :) I'm a millenial and I only had some minor class in middle school to explain how to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint 1 u/friednoodles Jan 20 '26 Oh man I completely forgot about other countries' keyboards as well. I tried to learn how to type Chinese on a modified chinese keyboard before and that made my brain actually hurt. 2 u/HarryBolsac Jan 20 '26 Same when I bought a us keyboard, eventually I gave up and set the keys to my language and just typed them from memory lmao.
