Do you have a sentence that you always type when testing out a keyboard?

[livingspeedbump]

Well, do you?

"This is the best day of my life go and **** yourself silly"

Don't ask me why, I have no clue.

[tp4tissue]

i always play some 10fastfingers.

why are you typing a specific sentence.. what testing purpose are you proposing

[nmur]

if I'm testing the switches I'll go to 10fastfingers

if I'm testing if the board actually works I'll use keyboardtester.com

When you are just blind testing a keyboard, doesn't even have to be connected. Say meetups. keyboards found in the wild, etc.

[1swt2gs]

I just spam asd jkl; in random order.

For example, dsfjkaldsfjkal;fjkldfajl;asfjk;sf

[pesky brat]

I'm with you; I usually type "this is the best keyboard in the world".

[FLFisherman]

If the keyboard is plugged in I like to give it a run on 10fastfingers.

If it's not plugged in I always type "Hello, my name is XXXXXXXXXXX." Or I type my email address.

[CSCoder4ever]

For whatever reason, as of now it is "echo hello world <ENTER> exit"

[mason]

I type "does this keyboard work" into Google

[xondat]

HOW ****ING ORIGINAL

[Steezus]

I have absolutely no clue why but I usually type N.W.A. lyrics.

[iLLucionist]

10fastfinger so apparently my "favorite sentence" is a collection of a supposedly random sample from the top 200 words in the (American) English language.

[henz]

I always write "Hej jag heter Hans, vad heter du om jag får fråga?"

Which translates to something like: Hi my name is Hans, what is your name if i may ask?"

Funny other people do the same **** as I do while hammering on random Keyboards in the wild

[Connly33]

I usually type random words, like whatever comes to mind, i dont have a specific testing sentence.

[henz]

[livingspeedbump]

[xondat]

Oh I used to do

"My name is Anthony and I like mechanical keyboards"

BECAUSE I'M A ****ING MORON.

[xtrafrood]

I usually type random words, like whatever comes to mind, i dont have a specific testing sentence.

I miss that show!  I usually open up notepad and type: 1 through ? and then test the modifiers/numeric pad. I need to change this!

[noisyturtle]

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

My dad used this sentance to teach me touch typing when I was really little, and I still use it to try keyboards.

[scubaste]

I have thought about asking the same question, because I developed a habit of typing something random for no particular reason. Mine is:

"What do you get when you guzzle down sweets, eating as much as an elephant eats."  Sometimes I'll throw in a "I don't like the look of it".

Too much charlie and the chocolate factory when I was growing up I suppose.

[alexjd99]

First thing I probably type is something along the lines of "a;sdlfkjas;ldfkjas;dlfkjas;dflkasjd;flkajsd;flkasjdf;laksjdf;alskdfja;sdflk" then "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" then I take some typing tests.

Miss? Is the show cancelled?

[appleonama]

"Today is a really good day and I hope to get some pizza to eat today." I always start with that and continue to make up the rest

Heh, I always use this when making Android layouts to test for text overflow.

For a typing test I go with "jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz".

[katushkin]

I usually type the password I used to use for everything.

Then I either type "this keyboard feels really nice" or "this keyboard feel like ****" depending on how it feels.

[iLLucionist]

Usually when I test a keyboard it isn't even connected.

[romevi]

I type my full name and then "is the craziest person in the world." No idea why; started when I was getting into fountain pens way back when and tested new arrivals.

[Steezus]

I type my full name and then "is thr craziest person in the world." No idea why; started when I was getting into fountain pens way back when and tested new arrivals.

Maybe you're just that crazy that your subconcsious is making you type just how crazy you are.

"This is a <keyboard name> and it feels really <adjective>..."

For example:
"This is a 4704 62-key and it feels really good. It is so amazing, it is the best keyboard I have typed on."

I like to type many small words and form really dumb sounding sentences, apparently.

[Altis]

I somehow got in the habit of typing some super basic Java code:

"import java.util.Scanner();
 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 input.close();"

Not really sure why at this point but I like to use it still for consistency. As strange as it sounds, I know how typing that should feel, so I notice the keyboard experience more as I'm not focusing on what I'm typing.

[dohbot]

"Hello my name is ______ _______. This is a pretty cool keyboard. Sloths are really cool, especially ninja sloths, they move at super normal speeds. I wish I were a sloth, so I could be my own hammock. But then I would not be able to type nearly as fast or well to enjoy mechanical keyboards... Hmmm."

Or something like that. Really I just start with Hello my name is... because I can type my name fastest of anything else I can type, then I just start saying what my thoughts are and it usually starts or ends with or progresses with sloths.

Just that or the entire verse?

"This is the best day of my life go and **** yourself silly"

The **** stands for "poop", right?

Nah, just straight up asterisks.

Yeah, asterisks of course, i mean, that is what I typed out wasn't it?

[jd29]

"What's going on mother******* how are you ******* doing", and then an extended string of random obscenities if I want to type more.

I don't know why I do this, I hardly ever curse in real life

Haha thought I was the only person who did that! "Jakes mom loves the ****."

[GenKaan]

I always write "Hej jag heter Hans, vad heter du om jag får fråga?"

Which translates to something like: Hi my name is Hans, what is your name if i may ask?"

Funny other people do the same **** as I do while hammering on random Keyboards in the wild

Interesting, I kinda do the same thing "jag heter GenKaan och jag är bäst och äger allt och alla haha(x3)" repeatedly (My name is GenKaan and I own everything and everyone haha(x3))

[bcredbottle]

Ready to lose control.

Ready to lose the privilege.

An ongoing habit.

A transfer of possessions.

"Twas brillig and the slithy toves. Did gyre and gimble in the wabe...all mimsy were the borogroves, and the mome raths outgrabe."

I'm late, but the first few sentences of navy seal copypasta is my go-to for testing a new keyboard.

John 3:16.

King James or Stone Cold Steve Austin?

[Floody]

I type out the game title "The world ends with you"

[romevi]

I type out the game title "The world ends with you"

One of my favorite DS games.

[dgneo]

this is pretty ****ing amazing how the **** does this feel so good what the ****

[hullo8d]

i just start typing out the filthiest things i can think of at the moment. essentially giving my inner "imp of perverse" a silent voice that only me and the keyboard would understand.

[iLLucionist]

Do you actually type the asterisks?

I usually just type "Jennifer Butcher is the cooliest person in the world."  Dunno why but my mom is pretty chill I guess.  Though when we get those old IBM WheelWriters through surplus I type "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog // THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG" and then all the numbers and symbols I can reasonably type out.  But that's testing to make sure everything works well.  If I'm just doing it for myself, I always go for the first one.

So I could actually properly swear and it gets "asterisked" automatically? That's sweet. I always do it manually being afraid I'm getting banned..

If there's something you'd get banned without any warning for doing, you'd already know to not do that thing.    (AKA, I can't even think of examples, but basically you'll always get a PM first anyway - don't worry )

"Hello my name is Thomas and I'm typing on a [...] right now."

Some silly phrases in Swedish:

"Det var en gång en liten filur som hette Erik. Han ville inte leka med de andra barnen så han struntade i det helt enkelt."

"i think this thing feels really good"

or

"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
