Trying to switch from 2 finger bird-view typing to 10 finger no-view. Fuck this is hard! I'm just veeery slowly getting used to it, although I tend to fall back automatically when I don't focus on it and just want to type in a few characters.
I keep doing several typos and often forget where a key was exactly or confuse the position of some character, even though I typed it fairly often before. Also typing any number or non-alphabetic letter is mostly a wild guess of finger position.
Either I'm a very slow learner or smth's wrong.😪

It takes practice.

Also, it's easy to slip back into bad habits, so don't look at the keyboard. Doing so will make the switch that much harder.

I type better and faster when I'm typing what's in my mind, but I'm worse and slower when reading from paper if that makes sense lol

There are websites where you can track the time and failure rate which you need to type a certain text, write up those times and see it as a highscore you need to beat. Suddenly it's a lot more rewarding, and you can also easily see how fast you are improving!

Take all the keys off and jumble them up. Looking won't help then, and you'll quickly get out the habit ;)
