Yes, oldies like me who learnt to type of electric typewriters, that non-linear give they exhibited it is still the best to type on at speed by far.

I had a relative that was a high level office assistant, shorthand, typing etc., etc., she could type at 120words/min sustained and hardly have a correction! It was like listening one of those old Olivetti daisy wheel or IBM Selectric printers in replay mode.

Wow!! 120 wpm is sensational.

My very best, on a teleprinter in the Navy, was around 60 wpm. On the latest stuff, around 75-80 when in the groove.
