uhm... there used to be like a 20 wpm difference between my using clears (faster) and blacks (slower) but now that I've gotten used to blacks I think I could actually type faster, even though it's not as comfortable or enjoyable for me. TP4 wrote a blurb on why blacks are theoretically the fastest switch for typing.

But I'm most consistent with 62g clears because it's what I've typed on for who knows how many years now.

I have blues at work and can hit 150+ with ease (i'll do a test right now actually since I just rebuilt my lightsaver hold on...ok so i got 153 wpm with 3 mistakes)

I have videos of me typing over at http://youtubeplaylists.sifo.ca

whoa. your typing videos are mesmerizing.
when i'm typing at about 90WPM, i feel like it's physically impossible to get any faster. ( hahaha :( )

btw that GON acrylic sounds so nice, damn.

oh and fun to see the rei and asuka figurines. i'm not even really an 'anime-person', but that series blew my mind.
a brother of mine had two of the robots (01 and 02) as figurines. insanely high quality, and they were very heavy. :-)

anyway, funny to see that just getting used to switches can change how well/fast you can type on them by that much.

BTW link bane used to be here before he got banned and types faster than me. I think moz can consistently sprint faster than me and this one guy I forget the name of with am annoying ****ing avatar could regularly do 180s I think so I'm definitely not the fastest but I have been practising more lately.

Seems like practice only improves typing speed. Keep it up, and check out TP's typing thread. It's actually fairly helpful.

My personal best is 79, but on average I hover between 60 and 70. I practice everyday though! Working to break that 80 mark!

you space with your left thumb, mr tp says right thumb is the right way to go. Did you ever try to switch?

Feel slow as **** compared to others here, with a WPM of about 65-70. Though I was at 40 WPM 3 months ago, so I suppose it can only go up from here  :D

I believe 118 is my highest, but I average 105-110.

Yeah it hurts my wrist to space with right thumb. Too used to it from gaming as well.

I saw that typing video Steezus linked earlier in the thread. Your WPM is nuts. If I'm focused the best I can do is 130 WPM. Can't imagine squeezing out another 35-40 words

I average 100 WPM. I'm pretty satisfied but would be happier with 120 WPM.

100 usually, 120 on a good day.

My main problem is my right hand. I use all my fingers on the left, no problem, but I use two fingers with my right hand. I'd really love to incorporate the third, but it slows me down unless I practice it, and I don't know if I'm bothered to relearn how to type with my right :(
