There are a whole bunch of type training sites (and Doom community people using them), but it’s hard to tell which ones are actually any good.

Mention the ones you think are/aren’t good here, and I’ll attempt to keep a collation up to date below.

#2

For Keybr another pro is that limiting which keys are used in training can be good for learning new layouts gradually.
