Just wondering if anyone else has learned the Thumb-key keyboard well and could share their typing speed?

I have been using the TypeSplit layout for a few weeks now and get over 50-55 wpm with it consistently. I'm still learning it though so I'm expecting to see over 60 wpm soon.

I used messagease keyboard before (the only non-foss app on my phone). So I am happy to have a foss keyboard now. I'm still with the normal messagease layout and nowhere near 50 wpm. I like to have full control over what I write, including brackets and other symbols, mostly for markdown. I usually type with one hand and am about as fast on left vs. right. I also like having a 3x3 numeric keyboard. I'm not sure if this can be configured on thumb, but I coud type single digits by long pressing a button on messagease.
I never liked predictive typing, maybe because i did too many errors on my small screen (<5").
