I've been training for quite a long time, but the muscle memory effect just won't kick in (in iq-eq.io). During training, there is always “thinking”, which means: the mental search for the right finger and the right direction, which works well, but is slooooowww. You keep saying: practice, time and more practice and more time.
But what could I be doing wrong? What could I do to have better progress? What was it that helped you the most?

It takes time my friend. I don't think you do anything wrong. It just needs some good nights of sleep to settle in. It can even take month(s). But don't worry you will get there. There are various training sites out there feel free to mix it up. I personally switched to real training text as soon as I roughly memorized the layout. Is that the best Methode? I don't know but I find it more interesting. Try to make it your daily driver as soon as possible even if you are just at 40wpm instead of a 100 wpm qwerty speed or something. But everything you type helps rewiring your head

I found that instead of .io, find the words that require you to think more and just type those over and over to really solidify the patterns.

iq-eq is awful, they give to much letters to practice at a time. I use stamina-online.com but it Russian web site. You will be able train on English keyboard, just manage to open needed page

when I was young, (late 80's - early 90's) it took me 6 years or so to get to 70-ish WPM on QWERTY. It took about 15 more to improve to 103 or so. I've been using my CC1 for about a year and a half. I started at 14-16 WPM. Right now, I type (minimal chords) at 38 WPM. I made my CC1 my main keyboard. Some days I just type. And other days I switch G and W all day. But I'm getting there.
My first and only suggestion is use it every day.
