Comment Advantage of hunt and peck (Score 1) 389
If comfort is your goal, have you tried hunt and peck?
I was a hunt & pecker for 20 years and never experienced stress or fatigue while typing. I did start to experience these when I started to learn to touch type. I believe this was because my hands were free to adopt a more natural variety of positions instead of always returning to the fixed position over the home keys.
Hunt and peck may not be as fast or accurate as touch typing (which is why I currently use Dvorak), but I think there are advantages in comfort which are overlooked.
