Other than swapping the location of [q/Q] and ['/"], the layout has been mostly unchanged. After 3 hours of Keybr.com and some rounds of Typing Attack, this is what my raw data looks like:

I'm not really sure how it counts the number of keys, nor why there's one single test that seemingly has nothing, but it helps understand the typing speed decreasing trend in the smoothed data:

I belive those two steps is when I was finally given the letter S, and then given the letter A a bit too soon. If you look closely, I was actually about to recover when the [a/A] nation attacked:

The main reason for the slowdown was because I was closing my eyes to enhance my tactile senses, and because I was seeing that I was often pressing a button to see what sticks. With the closed-eye strat, I only knew if I typed everything correctly after pressing space, so I actually needed to ensure I pressed the right keys. I feel like that one Spongebob episode where he can actually drive great, but only when blindfolded.

Another thing I was trying at this time was to rapid-type 2 characters at once. This was to apply the education from Ngram Type in a more wordlike setting. This includes spaces. The hope is that I can eventually chain these rapid-character moves to increase speed.
