108 wpm done with standard ThinkPad T410i keyboard. I think I can make a decent run with my Filco. I'll have to see.

Dude, I DEMAND A RECOUNT.

Lol seriously though, my #2 score is listed as #3 on the leaderboards. Fix this please.

105 WPM, 445 points. Pretty much matches with my best score on Typeracer. On a Noppoo Choc Mini with Browns. I sadly have to admit that my highest-ever score was when I wasn't registered on Typeracer and using an Apple MacBook keyboard. It was 115 WPM, I believe...

sordna · « **Reply #106 on:** Sat, 20 August 2011, 17:42:19 »

Hah, just got 77 WPM on my TG3 with Poker keycaps, typing in QWERTY! Doesn't sound like much, but 99% of the time I type on a Kinesis Advantage / Dvorak layout.

No, only the best score for any user counts, no need to post scores per keyboard/layout, etc :-) Or are you talking about new users submitting scores lately? Up to you how long you want to maintain this, doesn't really matter!

joysick · « **Reply #109 on:** Sat, 20 August 2011, 19:06:32 »

i'll do it at some point today, maybe lololol

sordna · « **Reply #110 on:** Sat, 20 August 2011, 19:29:12 »

Ok, let me post a better score for you to use, back on Kinesis/Dvorak, I got 102 WPM:

Did on a Realforce Topre 103UB.

It wasn't my best race. I should try again, I'm faster in French.
I'm still do some errors on some English words.

btw: You should try the typing est on Hi Games Typing Test or on TypeRacer.

joysick maybe you should've thought of the responsibility you'd have to look through the pages and updating before making this the "Official Geekhack Typing Speed Leaderboard." Give me my number 3 spot already! :]

That website is terrible since the words are random.

I prefer hi-games.net or typeracer.com

I just did 47 WPM on typeracer on my fujitsu laptop. I'll try the Unicomp later, and the WASD (cherry brown) when it arrives.

Dvorak layout of course.

Screenshots to come when I figure out how?

Since I don't really touchtype, I am pretty sol,w however, I feel like I'm significantly faster when I'm typing something I'm thinking about. Out of curiosity, is there a program (online or otherwise) that will track my paper-typing speeds for class?

feteru · « **Reply #120 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 10:26:43 »

Well, I just got a 77, will post screenshots from typeracer and 10fastfingers when I get home

captain · « **Reply #121 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 12:45:00 »

typeracer.com is my tester of choice. I never could get that other one to work. I need to figure out how to compare my results for different keyboards. You'd think that there would be an app for that. ;-P

77 seems pretty respectable to me. I don't know how some of these guys get 100+ consistently.

funxion · « **Reply #122 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 12:58:00 »

I'm around 65

I don't really have a need for typing too fast though!

Going to test when I get home.

Just did a snip of the relevant area. I have gained about 20-ish words per minute since I started caring about my touch typing again. Geekhack is good for more than emptying my wallet

Typing on Filco Majestouch-2 with blues, by the way.

Qt Pi · « **Reply #125 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 13:40:17 »

and here's the Razer Lycosa I did it on

I've got a tenkeyless leopold (brown) in the mail and it should be here any second now

Playtrumpet · « **Reply #126 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 13:42:53 »

Been a while since I went to 10fastfingers. It's changed its look. o.o

Did this on my 4-going-on-5 year worn down Macbook keyboard.

And the very second I hit enter they were at the door but I could't pay the duty fee because it was cash only and my room mate "borrowed" the exact amount of cash I needed. Guess I have to pick it up tomorrow...

fstop · « **Reply #128 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 15:16:35 »

Visit the Typing Test and try!

Feel like I could of done better. That was my first try though haha.

Viets · « **Reply #129 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 15:42:24 »

I use to get 157 wpm on a logitech g15 keyboard :SS

( in 3 tries)
on Coolermaster Rapid MX (brown)
just fyi from my experience mechanical keyboards aren't better for typing speed, but for better typing experience..
There are some membranes keyboards that are really good for typing. Although i bottom out a lot when i type on keyboards could be my style of typing...

fstop · « **Reply #130 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 16:00:54 »

For me its a mental thing. Typing on rubber domes, I feel like my fingers are being glued down to the keys. It's just a really unpleasant feeling.

Mechanical don't have that sticky, mushy feeling and it makes feel like I'm typing faster and in most cases I am 10-20wpm higher.

I would say the combination of the following is a good recipe for being fast with your fingers
korean + piano for 15 years + sc2 + spend all day in front of computer. :nod:

fstop · « **Reply #134 on:** Fri, 27 April 2012, 16:36:04 »

Or maybe its because you're using a silenced RF... Need to get myself one of those. That must be it!

In all seriousness though I played piano as a kid, and guitar for the last couple of years but I've always had slow fingers. It's held me back considerably

Well, it's a decent idea, but I doubt the author would still update the thread. You can start a new one if you'd like.
