Ask HN: How to improve typing?

[mminer]

As a software developer who spends significant time in front of my keyboard, I'm acutely aware that both my typing accuracy and speed could improve. Beyond mindfully trying to kick old habits, any recommendations or approaches I should take to become a better typist?

Buy better keyboard/mechanical keyboard and learn touch typing from site like these

And just keep typing so you gain the muscle memory of it.

Thanks for the links, those look promising. After some searching I often saw TypeRacer (https://play.typeracer.com) recommended also. I tried a few other typing tutors but found that few emphasize symbols like {}*&#$ that I use frequently and are responsible for most of my mistakes.
