Typing works perfectly fine for me in the vast majority of cases.

It was a long time ago I watched an DVD, but I very clearly remember some of them having unskippable ads.

I’m going to take a risk and say you write faster than you type

I have a very hard time believing this. From some quick googling, it seems that experienced writers can do 40 wpm, which is really slow in comparison to an (even an inexperienced) typer. Also, typing has no risk of being unreadable, unlike writing (e.g. doctor’s written notes).

and reaching for a pencil is quicker than launching a program.

Maybe if your computer is really slow.
