I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.

Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?

I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.

    Apologies, I have obviously offended you and that was not my intention. Everyone has bad habits and I didn’t think pointing one out would be hurtful. My intention was only to help.

    I never said you were dumb. Frankly, I am impressed with how aware you are of your finger movements. I didn’t realize I sometimes tapped T with my right hand and Y with my left hand until I switched to a split keyboard.

    Only using your left hand to type T and only using your right hand to type Y would be considered good/correct form.

      I believe I combined a lot of responses to me when I replied to you. I hope we can step back and see neither of us wants to be upsetting. Communicating online is a challenge.

      I would like it if the community saw that I have said multiple times that I could work to change the habit. And that the community could accept that I’m doing it wrong without flooding me with almost exasperated feedback.

      I wish it was rather:, “hey, it’s better form to keep left and right separate, and a split keyboard would really help with that practice.”
