Title: Does anyone here Type 200wpm
Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 23 April 2013, 20:47:13: I can't do much more than 140... Knowing my spacing, I could IMAGINE doing up to 160 on best run...

But 200... how is this done?

Is there a some special technique?

I realize 200 is not sustainable for long periods.. But I can't burst 200 either..

sean wrona does it on qwerty, burst 200++ wpm. but he's kinda an outlier when it comes to this.

I don't think layout's an issue here though, but it's possible..

Yeah, but that's kinda specific, just like Sean Wrona. Hell, Sean was said to be the fastest BW player at the time in NA.

How fast? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38464.msg745080#msg745080

How does he type? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38463.msg750423#msg750423

Of course, I only type about 80 on a good day, but I'm happy with that normally. I think I'll sometime learn how to type all proper and stuff, but I think I"ll wait for my ergoDOX to be done and use it for that purpose.

Yea, I remember him, he didn't post a video or anything.. and his layout is standard.. guess i'll ring him up and ask about a video.
