Official Under 150wpm Club

[baldgye]

So pretty much most people. How about the under 100wpm club?

holla

[ping111]

My top record is 86, and strangely enough I hit it when I was hunched over on the floor, at 2 in the morning when I was tired, on my laptop keyboard.

[Dubsgalore]

80 on average, 90 on good days, 100 was the highest ever. 150 not in sight

[epzy]

My max WPM at Typeracer is 113, have gotten it like 20 times, and 100+ probably 50 times as well. Out of maybe 300 races. When I see I am at like 120 wpm etc, I get so fkin nervous... CAN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE, so I start messing up and end up sub 120 always... My hands starts to shake and my heart starts to beat a lot faster.

10fastfingers is impossible for me, since I don't have control whether or not I've done a typo and that stresses me out, not to mention mindlessly typing for 1 min straight is really gay and shouldn't count. Typeracer is the real way to determine typing speed/skills imo.

****

SPY. GET HIM.

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.

Man as soon as I mess up a word. It's over. Completely throws me off.

You gotta learn to type through the pain..

For a keyboard enthusiast forum our scores are sickening. why do we even own keyboards?

Because they give us geekswag... Which leads to ladies lining up

I'm not a racecar driver, yet I'd still buy a Lambo if I could afford one. What's your point?

[nubbinator]

Woo, 68 WPM.  I know that when I get in the zone, I can get up to 75WPM.

I'm killing it with my ridiculous typing speed.

[Photoelectric]

90-92WPM.  I think I'm gradually improving in terms of accuracy, but the speed's been the same for a long time, maybe slightly improving.  Mostly haven't needed to be faster for anything I do, so I've been content.  Accuracy is a more important factor for me.  On bad days, I can make some typos here and there, especially when coding and switching from numbers to symbols to letters.

~115wpm on buckling spring

Oh, good. I kinda feel like the world revolves around me so I was assuming you were talking about me because why wouldn't you be?

[demik]

hahaha i just noticed your title.


but yeah, i totally get that. i also think people talk about me but then i remember im nobody worth talking about.

PARANOIA IS FUN!

[riotonthebay]

I just noticed it too. Quite pleased. And sad because I'm so unenlightened.

[demik]

one day young padawan, one day.

you shall see the light and be one with cup rubber. and we shall live the one true life of topre. together, along with the rest of this club, we shall seek true enlightenment to find that magical 150wpm number we all want.. no, no, need.

[riotonthebay]

BUT MA KEYYYZZZZZZ

There's a very good chance I'll get the novawhatever when it comes out.

[Allthunbs]

Just got my DASkeyboard blue last week. Starting to improve my speed but it will take me several months to get my speed back up. Hoping to modify with O-rings and maybe Elite landing pads. Got to get back to active finger return and short keystrokes. I hate slow typing. Interferes with my thinking.

OH now you have the courage post this.

Besides the root of all great comedy is major personal insecurity.

well it is possible that your theory is correct in the sense that someone who is preoccupied with their inadequacies "would" generally be more motivated to improve; maybe even beyond their more "secure" compatriots.

However, I believe that children are born "secure" then when you subject them to advertising campaign, thats when they form an "ego" to protect themselves..

how crazy is this crazy?

Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar, drug induced psychotic states, etc, etc, etc.  I get to go visit the whole range of crazy people.  From those who are managing their crazy to those in locked facilities because they're a danger to the public crazy.  My favorite so far is the guy with the tattooed face.  Sadly no literal wankers yet.  Someday I will see the happy public masturbator and be simultaneously disgusted and happy.  I am also told seeing naked asses is not uncommon, though I have yet to see one.

Maybe I should start a thread about the crazy **** I'll be seeing in my job.  It's one of those things where it's simultaneously sad and hillarious.

[paicrai]

I broke my record of 75 yesterday with 76.
Hello, fellow peasants.

[atlas3686]

Also trying to get better, definitely improved a little with the HHKB compared to my Filco with browns but only about 5-10 wpm.

Nubbinator are you a warden @ Gotham penitentiary? 

[rowdy]

Been a few years since I test my typing speed.  I guess I can join ...



By the way, does anyone care about % errors?

[noisyturtle]

**** yeah! winning!

[VesperSAINT]

Compared to yesterday, I fell by 1 today 25 incorrect keystrokes )

[MOZ]

Hello bothers, 56 WPM here. I don't know, if I even keyboard.

[davkol]

Hit 85 wpm yesterday, AMA!

[CPTBadAss]

I'm here to claim my title as leader of the peasants.

Practices yesterday. Best score was 62 wpm on 10fastfingers. In French (even if I am at ease in English, I need to think a little more about how the words are written, my brain seems to first read the word and then my fingers types the word as I know him, so it's faster in French even if some letters like ç ruins my score all the time).


Accuracy is my main problem for sure lol! At least I am quick with the backspace ...

If not mistakes, I could probably do better, but I slow down periodically because I momentarily forget proper spelling or something and hit a wrong key.

[baldgye]

Typing fast is over-rated. It's all about style.

[dustinhxc]

Yeah I'm not over 150 but I use my Keyboards for WORK and PLEASURE all day. So I want an amazing keyboard at my fingertips.

I'm 51 strong.
