Oh god. I was going to comment how ordinary the keyboard looked! I’d have assumed you for a split keyboard user. Honestly you cannot claim it’s the pinnacle of ergonomics’!

I watched your previous video about typing speeds around 3 months ago. Started with 55-60 wpm and currently at 85-90 wpm. It really works, just gotta trust the process and keep on practicing.

[@IWatchThemforYou]

Sameee

[@Alex-kw3ql]

Hi Ali, I just wanted to share how your content has helped me improve my typing skills. About half a month ago, I came across your older post on typing and decided to put your tips into action. I started practicing daily, and I'm thrilled to say that I've already progressed from 30 words per minute to 70 words per minute! I honestly didn't expect to see another video from you on typing so soon, but I'm grateful to have found it. It's always so refreshing to learn new techniques and hacks to enhance our skills. Thank you so much for all the valuable content you put out. Your passion for self-improvement and knowledge-sharing is truly inspiring! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@singhvidashaan]

Hey Ali, I just love all your videos and ive gotten your booktoo and I havent got to read it yet but im really looking forward to it. Never stop

I like keyboards with numbers on the right hand side working on cash registers and working in a call centre where you need to have numbers is very helpful

[@narudesigns]

Actually, my typing improved after watching your old video some time ago about typing. I started by practicing 30mins daily and then I went from 35WPM to 85WPM now. Thanks to you 👍

[@DeNay25]

Thanks so much for this I have been trying to increase my typing speed

[@dave_johnson]

That new keyboard is absolutely sick!!

[@madlenaivanova9439]

Thank you for your time!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@el1mz930]

125 WPM here! Trying to get even higher though. I want 150. I could type 70 - 80 WPM consistent before, but I was not typing with the correct methods using all of your fingers. Practiced for about one hour each day for two weeks or so and got my typing speed using the proper method from 20WPM at the start all the way to where I am now. For anyone with a 'slow' typing speed, just keep going! You will be surprised how easy you find many things as long as you have a bit of determination and power through them!

[@mimisreads3038]

I have been typing the wrong way (my own way) for so long but I am trying to get touch typing down so I can get a data entry job so I have been practicing for 2 days so far :') this video is awesome btw, thank you !

my typing speed today is 105 words per minute thank you ali for teaching and motivating i never thought i would be able to type this fast love you

[@shakeelahmed8902]

Sir , I don’t think your keyboard is fairly priced for a consumer in India. The ideal price would be at least 40-50% below the current price of INR 13,900. If thats available i am ready to buy.

[@anilkumargupta8555]

Don't buy that it's apple keyboard and won't work properly with windows

I'm excited to be here in your channel and I'm interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated

Hi Ali random question I saw you did LASIK-surgery 2 years ago. Could you please make a video about the pros and cons of eye surgery?

[@4theloveofsaints225]

What a great video. This is a totally random tip question, regarding the "90-degree angle" rule, let's call it - let's say you're very short (or tall, I suppose would be equally problematic), how do you accomplish this posture? If you raise the height of your chair, your feet aren't on the floor. If your feet are on the floor, your arms and elbows aren't correct. Of course, the adjustable height desk, but aside from this, is it even possible?

[@TheProactivePatients]

I can't stand swivel chairs, which most office chairs are. I find that my back hurts more with them. I grew up a figure skater, who jumped one way and developed back muscles that are quite lopsided, so when I sit, I find that I have a tendency to swivel towards one side or sit to one side of the chair and my mid back hurts by the end of the day. It's really hard to find an office chair that does not swivel, though... especially one that is otherwise adjustable.

[@michaelakins5033]

Is there such a thing as a quiet mechanical keyboard? I like the idea of tactile touch using a Light Mode keyboard, but need to avoid the noise.

[@michaelspencer6401]

What is everyone’s type of keyboard that resulted in your highest wpn? I have a standard mechanical keyboard, and low profile mechanical keyboard, and Apple’s dreaded butterfly switch keyboard. I was surprised my least favorite keyboard (the butterfly switches) resulted in my fasted typing speed. Low profile mechanical - 75 wpm standard mechanical - 80 wpm Butterfy - 98 wpm

Since increasing my typing speed, I've run into the problem of also capitalizing the second letter of a word instead of just the first letter. I can't seem to break it. Any advice?

[@BenToT94]

33:33 Is there any alternative for the Keyboard Snippet app for built-in Windows?

[@HiMyNameWaffy]

Moonlander or Kensis split keyboard if you want proper ergonomics. Custom mechanical keyboards are a trend just like gamer chairs. Neither of which are ergonomic at all.
