Title: Who likes typing tests for funz?
Post by: iLLucionist on Sun, 23 April 2017, 11:50:15
So here I'm sitting on a Sunday afternoon just doing 10fastfingers on three of my keyboards, comparing the feel, see on what I type fastest.

AM I MAD?

i 've stopped playing because i'm not getting any faster. 145 is my limit.


I feel i can go faster, and --barrier break-- hahahaa..  but honestly i haven't had the motivation to push myself on that front..

I practiced many times, but my absolute max is 148-150.

Typically around 140-142 for me.

Legend has it some people can type around 170-175. I don't believe it.

sean wrona (the fastest popularly known keyboardist ) plays typeracer at 200wpm

and we had linkbane who did 150/160+  before he got banned from geekhack..  //free linkbane


Wrona did 160+ in that promotional das keyboard video with very odd text.. so if he could maintain that speed on that text, then his mastery is definitely well above our ghetto type racer scores..

..videos involving bearded guys typing are so weird,  that whole video just made das look like a bunch of weirdos peddling their china rebrand boards.. hahahahaha

I max out at 80mph but I don't type for a living so it kind of evens out. I still take typing tests to get my mind off things though. Kind of a therapeutic in a way I guess

Agreed -- it is soooo relaxing. I dunno why. And osu.

I thought AimBooster would be relaxing as well. BUT IT FREAKS ME OUT I only get up to like 40-42 seconds. THEN I DIE aaaah
