Brag about your typing speed!
« on: Tue, 01 December 2015, 21:05:50 »
I've recently started working on my typing speed (which is awful by the way), and I'd love to see where other people are at.

My best is at 110, with an average of 100.

3 months ago before I got sucked into this hobby, I was at 60-70.

Wow, you guys are all better than me  ;D I switched to Dovark a couple months ago, so I used to be not too bad, but it's taken a lot to work back up, and I haven't been practicing as much as I should. I'm currently around 60ish, but still working on it.

You can get to 135 wpm with my  speed guide here..  link beerow

Also,  the layout has very little influence on speed as long as you're hitting the keys (ergonomically correct), speed comes from building m0re muscle memory.

Low- mid 60s average and my best is 82.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

Ye linkbane is faster than me at the moment. I used to be active on 10ff as well but not as of lately because no time to practice (thus the in my prime comment).



This is my 10ff though, 166 being my highest on there.

I do around 110 WPM, and I cringe when I see anybody who types under 40. I even know a guy with a mech, and he types at like 36 wpm. Not even an exaggeration.

No idea what my (touch) typing speed is these days, but I'm definitely slower than the guy who recently posted saying that he could hit 90 wpm with two fingers.

I'm consistently above 90wpm now, after hovering in the 80s for a while. My peak speed is 99wpm, which disappoints me greatly :(

E: and of course, just hit 100 now, after three attempts with an average of 95 wpm.

Lol, I can get around 80-90, but I really need to practice better form. With my sore thumb, which stemmed from ****ty form while I was typing with my ungodly harsh Infinity in a prone position (durrr), I really can't type all that fast. It's interesting using my left thumb for the space bar now. I can touch type, ie, not look at the keyboard, but my form is still a bit whack.

You can get to 135 wpm with my  speed guide here..  link beerow

Also,  the layout has very little influence on speed as long as you're hitting the keys (ergonomically correct), speed comes from building m0re muscle memory.



https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67941.0

good shiet that thread. I actually got two things i need to think about more often. space on right thumb and actually not lifting your fingers from the homerow but rather slide over the keyboard.

One question though, ill write it here because i dont want to necro the old thread. The "b" button, whats your take on that? should it be pressed by lefty or righty?

Whatever flows best with the word you're trying to type. Like TP says, it's about muscle memory, so whichever finger is in the best position at that point of the word should be used for it.

When/if my thumb ever heals up, I'm so going to practice getting my speed up. Whenever I hear people typing at 115 WPM + it's always so insane. Like, it sounds terrible because it's just a fluttery cacophony of clack, but... that's a beautiful terror I want to reach.

Your WPM is out of this world, Sifo.  :eek:
