It's been a while since I've had to type so vigorously like that, but trying to keep quiet so I didn't wake up my roommate, I got this.

80+ WPM on bad days. 90+ when I'm in the groove. This via typeracer.

xyril · « **Reply #158 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 03:58:18 »

Highest 180 wpm.
=QWERTY (1 year learning touchtyping)
Avg(wpm) = 140wpm ...

now i use colemak (about 7weeks training i think)

highest = 129wpm

average = 103wpm

uJalled · « **Reply #159 on:** Sat, 27 October 2012, 22:02:03 »

I'm a solid 75 WPM, but usually 55-60 when I'm tired.

100wpm but I only use 7 fingers. I don't know why but I just can't use my pinky fingers or my right ring finger for typing

105WPM on my Model M SSK, with mittens on. I'm not kidding. It's super cold in my room today.

i'm somewhere around 80-90 wpm, less if it's punctuation heavy, more if it's just plain text that i'm typing from my brain.

I don't think I could transcribe at that speed.

Lorem-Ipsum · « **Reply #165 on:** Tue, 30 October 2012, 17:03:18 »

I average about 54Wpm. I've never had to speed type though. Generally when I'm programming I spend a lot of time thinking and very little actually typing.

tp4tissue · « **Reply #166 on:** Tue, 30 October 2012, 17:16:57 »

If you guys are playing typeracer/ 10fast "regular"mode, those score is totally worthless

Try out Advance mode, that's a way more realistic appraisal of true typing prowess..

mztriz · « **Reply #167 on:** Wed, 31 October 2012, 13:54:25 »

I average 70WPM QWERTY on typeracer, but I'm still using a rubber dome... My mechanical keyboard should come in the mail sometime this week.

Quark · « **Reply #168 on:** Wed, 31 October 2012, 23:09:21 »

Around 120wpm sustained, but that's what I do for a living.

I haven''t used any of those sites everyone has mentioned.

I tried that "Ten Fast Fingers" website and find it odd it doesn't include either punctuation or numbers? Any one have any idea, why this would be the case? Letter's alone is not an indicator of how fast people type the languages.

Btw - has anyone considered creating a typing technique sub forum on here, given that it is all keyboard focused?

Do you think there would be interest for that type of thing?

Rumudiez · « **Reply #169 on:** Thu, 01 November 2012, 14:48:12 »

Some of these posts make me feel better about my typing speed, but others show me how much faster I could be :x

I average 90-100 on typeracer and easily type that fast if not faster when I know what I want to say.

That's why some of us are more reasonable when quoting our numbers and use tests that include text from published sources, like typeracer! 10FF ftl, imo

Me too. I find that if I slow down a little and focus on accuracy rather than speed, I actually end up with a higher WPM. Mistakes slow you down more than whatever increase in speed you're getting from moving your fingers faster.

HybridCore · « **Reply #177 on:** Wed, 07 November 2012, 15:43:16 »

134wpm is my best so far. Tested on typrX (probably my most favorite out of the ones I've tried). I managed to get 127wpm on TypeRacer. This was with a crappy Dell rubber dome keyboard packaged with their desktops while I was at school. My speeds drop a bit because I rarely use my Filco Majestouch Black with Cherry MX Blues (and a JIS layout) because I'm not used to the feeling, but it feels great. I need to start learning DVORAK.

Bry · « **Reply #178 on:** Fri, 09 November 2012, 11:33:25 »

My friend can type over 9000 WPM

Proof:

wcstick · « **Reply #179 on:** Fri, 09 November 2012, 12:58:57 »

My average is 96 on typeracer and my highest is something like 110. However, my accuracy isn't the best. I read ahead of what I'm typing so the word I'm reading tends to mix with the word I'm typing.

Edit: I just did a run on 10FF on my laptop. Here's my result:

swagpiratex · « **Reply #181 on:** Fri, 09 November 2012, 16:28:07 »

If your accuracy is <95%, you're trying to type faster than your body is currently ready for. You want to go for that balance between speed and control.

Sifo · « **Reply #182 on:** Fri, 09 November 2012, 22:20:40 »

It's 98%

karazi · « **Reply #184 on:** Sat, 10 November 2012, 11:38:15 »

Your speed: 127 wpm Time: 0:25 Accuracy: 87.2%
Your speed: 119 wpm Time: 0:38 Accuracy: 80.6%

Accuracy is not my strongest suit. I think if the key spacing were between a desktop keyboard and a laptop keyboard it would help with accuracy.

for sure. my excuse is that, they give a bunch of random words. on other typing tests, you can anticipate what is coming next which is easier!

That is a very impressive sprint speed.

How long have you been typing for and do you use QWERTY format?

I just got done doing a couple TypeRacer tests. I averaged around 95 WPM... not too bad

New personal best is 106wpm on typeracer.
Ironically I couldn't pass the ****ing verification test lol (they expect me to type out a wholenother paragraph with at least 94wpm and no countdown or auto end...), but I grabbed a screenshot.

I've been at ~90 for the last decade. Fast enough for my purposes, and whenever I go faster than that for sustained periods my hands start hurting.

*EDIT*: I guess I am a little faster than I used to be:

Idk I type a little bit faster on blues and much more accurately, but that's just because I'm more used to them. I'm sure I'll be at the same level or even more efficient once I get used to ergo clears. Just.. practice and type a lot I guess... I work as a professional typist so that helps.

jessecoleman · « **Reply #199 on:** Mon, 03 December 2012, 19:40:41 »

I'm pretty pathetic at about 45. I think I'd be faster if I didn't have to go back and keep fixing my mistakes, I tried teaching myself colemak but I haven't had the time or commitment yet to really get the hang of it.
