Which statement is correct?

Is it "I am okay in typing." or "I am okay at typing"? I can't decide which one is correct.

I don't know what is used with okay but I would say I am good at typing.

Hi,

My ear accepts both. I take "at typing" as my own judgement. My typing is good for my own purposes.

I take "in typing" as referring to some universal set of standards by which my typing is judged, perhaps in the way one would say, "I'm good in typing [class], but I'm not good in shorthand [class]."

To me ear, "at" is 1st pick. I think "with" works as well. It really depends on context.

i.e. I think my mind is good with numbers but not with language.
