Join me fellow peasants. For we do not deserve to own mechanical keyboards but go against nature and still buy them.

Mx and topre users alike. This is our support group.

Neat, I should learn how to use an onscreen keyboard, then arrange all my mice the wrong way 'round and play them like a piano.

Yep, that happened to us where we used to live. All the scum from the surrounding neighborhoods would come over with garbage bags and pillow cases dumping all the huge buckets of candy into their bags. We also had a neighbor who made snowballs with rocks inside of them, fun neighborhood -_-

is this the true motivation behind people binging on keycap buys..

They sux at typing, then they buy caps to make themselves feel better?

And then they spend too much time looking at their caps rather than practicing.. and then this type of thread crops up...

and the cycle repeats....

Still waiting for you to check in tp.


Anyway, I would like to see someone typing at 150 wpm in real life situations for a long period of time  ;)


But I agree that if you can type at 150 wpm (or 100+ even), it's an asset if you use the keyboard a lot!

many factors.. sleep.. time of day.. food intake.. energy level.. muscle recovery period.. 

just those things can add up to 10-25 wpm on your score.

I've been "touch typing" for nearly 3 decades, but I still type around 60 or 70 words per minute. I think a lot while I'm typing though. It's the thinking that slows me down.
