I'm thinking about picking up Workman, should I?
- If you are interested in picking up Workman, I'd recommend you go for Colemak Mod DH instead: it accomplishes the same thing with fewer drawbacks.

Is there anything else I can do to get faster at typing?
- The typist in the video, Jashe, has an incredibly detailed writeup on improving typing speed: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h-46EqD6_llPoQjv_vmtp_UKypBi4ZIV7S4sM7vWnV4/edit

How do I get/change to new layouts?
- Windows has built in support for alternate layouts. Once they are installed, you can cycle between your installed layouts using the hotkey: WinKey + Spacebar. Dvorak simply needs to be enabled in the Language and Input menu. Workman and Colemak have a download that can be installed, and more obscure layouts like Colemak mod DH require the use of a program called the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. If it says it's been successfully installed but you still cannot switch to it, try restarting your PC.

Which keyboards did you use in the video?
- At the start of the video: HHKB Tofu with SA Ice Cap and Turquoise Tealios
- The rest of the video: HHKB Pro 2 with 3 pink keycaps from KBDFans

What typing sites did you use in this video?
- I played almost exclusively https://play.typeracer.com/ to improve.
- https://www.keybr.com/
- https://10fastfingers.com/
- https://monkey-type.com/

Do you use Workman on your phone?
- No, I guess the muscle memory is separate because I never had any issues typing with QWERTY on my phone. I can even type with Swipe typing without looking at the keyboard despite my inability to use it on a normal keyboard.

I'll update this with any FAQs people have, but for now, thanks for the support <3

I started learning Dvorak at a time when I couldn't even touch type qwerty. Now I daily drive dvorak and it is awesome!  I felt that the biggest advantage to those "better" keyboard layouts are not that they enable me to type faster, but it actually relieves a lot of stress on your wrist. When typing in qwerty, our hands often do not rest in the natural position, but tilted one way, which is really not comfortable over a long time.

I can’t stop thinking about this guy as a shounen anime protagonist.

@ZRob23523

I just realized that since I never learned the “right” way of typing, I could easily get the same wpm I usually get on any other format, as I am still in the stage where I need to look at the keyboard to see where the letters were. I’m too powerful.

@keps_ksk

Today I learned that there's a whole community about typing

Na bro, the comic sans keyboard is absolutely diabolical lol 0:23

@misusaki8980

Me who has 8 words a minute with qwerty and 50% accuracy: Hmm interesting

Update over 1 year later : this was when I got my first phone and wasn't familiar with the layout or letters, my family doesn't allow phones till 15 and I have used a computer before this but it was in a different language and different layout, I have gotten much better at typing since then.

@mainulhasan2392

this is my 2nd time watching the video and this time I'm realizing how something so mechanical as learning a new keyboard layout can turn out to be a emotional and motivational video to me. I hope you read this Pingu.

It’s all fun and games until you have to type on someone else’s keyboard.

@Magnymbus

Y'know... I kinda like how inefficient QWERTY is. It's really satisfying to just let my hands fly all over the keyboard and not miss a single letter. When I'm having long conversations over the internet it's not uncommon for me to completely forget that I'm typing at all. My wpm isn't super high or anything but I just enjoy the controlled chaos of typing in QWERTY.
