What kind of dedicated keyboard forum makes no mention of typing speed?

This thread is designed to discriminate the elite touch typists to the progammers to the average everyday forum contributor. This thread will go off of a "pics or it didn't happen" basis, simply post a picture of your typing speed, and you will be added to the leaderboards.

edit: added keyboard section so when you post your score post what keyboard you did it on as well

Why am i doing this? Becuase I am going to Michigan for six days and need something to do.

This is a rather terrible score, I'm on my laptop keyboard and am capable of doing well over 85, but as of now this will have to do.

It's almost a horrible test for me because I am already reading the next two words while typing my current one and each time I reach the end of the paragraph to trigger a new paragraph of text I have to slow down and reposition my vision.

My favorite is still typeracer dot com

Here you can test how fast you are. Just type in the words. Are you faster than all the others? A nice side effect: these are the most used english words. Every time you try to beat the score, you improve your typing speed

thts what it says at the top, if you have a better one by all means im for it

edit: that sounded kind of rude lol, it wasnt meant that way

No worries, I didn't take it that way. And I'm notoriously hard to offend, according to my friends.

It isn't that they aren't commonly used words, it's that they are in a random order. It's almost like it doesn't matter that they are words, to your brain. I bet they could just put random strings of characters up, and you'd get basically the same score. Well, slower because you couldn't focus ahead, but you get my point, hopefully.

i lost my title!? :hurt:

well imma about to split to the airport, wont be able to update anything until tomorrow morning, in michigan :ballchain:

One of the forum games is a flash version of Typing of the Dead, or whatever it's called. Not quite the same thing, but kinda fun.

That website is terrible since the words are random.

I prefer hi-games.net or typeracer.com

On the laptop (I do 88 on the Filco):

KBC Poker, Cherry MX brown switches. 90 WPM, and that's me typing relatively slowly as I'm sleepy right now.

On plane WiFi so once we get in the air I'll update the list

I hated the transition between lines.  Talk about a bad test!

you guys are slow, in one try too

19 races, 110 wpm average on typeracer

I haven't done any racing games in a while. I love to type really fast, but I had to stop playing typing games because it wasn't helping my RSI symptoms at all.

Before I quit, I managed to score an average of 118wpm on Typeracer (username: smirking) and I'm still #55 in the top 100 of the 5-minute typing test on hi-games.net.

Now, if anyone here gets cocky about their typing speed, you should know that one of the GH members is Sean Wrona (arenasnow), the winner of the Ultimate Typing Championship. He won with a 163wpm performance and has a YouTube video of him clocking in at 212wpm in a Typeracer match.

Nothing better than that to stay humble ; )

I know I'm far from the fastest: I can go up to 120wpm under caffeine on typeracer.com but typically I'm only around 100 wpm.

Just tried and did 91 wpm on that horrible test (can't easily see the next word before a new "page" starts, which really slows thing and messes up thing, can't correct mistakes --I'm wired to correct mistakes instantly and so I'm penalized twice if I'm not at 100% accuracy on that test--, words unrelated to each other, etc.).

Bowing low to nocturn4l3030 for his nice score and bowing even much lower to hella: 116 wpm is cool, especially on an M15 (I own two mech split keyboards but I'm dreaming of a M15... Maybe I should sell my NIB MX-5000 and then use the money to buy a M15).

I type at 63 wpm. :S I feel ashamed. http://speedtest.10-fast-fingers.com/fb_result.php?r=BL

I got 80 WPM. I'm sitting actually in bed right now though lol. Typing on my amazing 3 euro media-tech rubber dome, half the keys might not register 20% of the time but its still amazing. And by amazing I mean horrid.

I hesitate at every line switch on that particular website. On the other hand (!) I think by using the most common words in the language it may also have a slightly shorter than average word length, relative to passages of meaningful text written by non-morons; at least it seemed so whilst I was typing. I clocked 97, which is average for me when I'm transcribing something. I don't think I've clocked any test above 110wpm. I might try to teach myself proper eight-fingers-on-letters technique (I use six) but I have no need to go faster, and RSI is only an issue when I use keyboards other than my own for extended periods. (Smartphones are the devil's work.) Real-world speed, typing what I'm thinking, I have to be writing a highly-motivated diatribe for anything more than about 70wpm to matter. If I was still writing code I'd probably need even less.

111 first try, I'll try more when I have some time.

I think this improvised meta typing game would be a lot more fun if we each did one round on the ****tiest keyboard we could find and then did one round on our daily driver.

I tried that when I got an ASUS Netbook and I was really bemoaning the shrunken nature of the netbook keys. Well, it turns out that as much as I hated that keyboard, it barely affected my speed test results. I was 100+ before. I was 100+ after.

That's sort of a horrible typing test, since it uses a random collection of words with no relation to one another. Passages from a random novel, or a song, or some such makes a more realistic test.

At least, that's my opinion.

 
Yes, that's what's screwing me up too. I can't read far enough ahead to get it in my brain to avoid making mistakes. So far, the best I can do is 60 wpm.

I just tried typeracer.com, but the countdown starts before it's even ready to start accepting keystrokes. I have to click on the box, wait a few seconds, start typing and still it misses the first character and says I have a typo.

Interesting test, though I didn't do any worst or better than other usual tests. Average around 75-85 myself.\

DSI Modular Mac

I plateau around 70-75 wpm and struggling to get faster. Standard touch typing. Any hints for improving speed?

Make sure you have good posture, learn to be as relaxed as possible, and just keep practicing.

Also, while 70-75 wpm isn't going to win you any speed medals, it's nothing to sneeze at. You're already at a very functional typing speed that will give you an edge over most people.

Some people are always going to be more natural at typing than others so if you can't ever get above 75 wpm, you might be able to blame your mom or dad for not having good typing genes to pass on to you.
