I recently got a ZSA Moonlander and started learning colemak dh. It’s been a really fun journey so far and I’m now able to type consistently at 60 WPM. However, as you can see from the chart I’ve sort of hit a plateau at 60 and I’m having trouble breaking it.

I think it’s time to switch up my training strategy. So far, I’ve been using keybr.io and typelit which have both been great. Are there any other tools folks have used during this not-quite-beginner but not-yet-fast stage?

    If you’re feeling up for doing practice, doing more complex word sets (English 1k-5k for example) will probably yield better results. I find that practice only really shows meaningful results the next day at the earliest once you get past probably around 60wpm.

    As to using fewer keys, I’m down to 34 keys for my main layout (still using a regular 60% for gaming), and if it’s something you want to explore, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s been a super great experience and I basically don’t move my hands/fingers anymore. If you want some extra inspiration for a layout, I’d be happy to share mine with you.

    Glad to hear you’re still enjoying it. Keep it up man

      I’ve been doing typelit.io and typing out a whole book, which I think is helping since it’s a more realistic typing scenario. I’d love to see your layout if you’re willing to share, I’m always interested in seeing peoples’ different approaches.
