Title: how fast can you type
Post by: Mando Pandango on April 03, 2016, 11:33:26 PM
i just remembered http://play.typeracer.com/ existed and decided to play a few races. Just clocked one in at 128 which is a new record for me. If I concentrate, I can do a consistent 100 without too much effort.

how's about you, boyah? any SANIC FAST typists among us?

I love typeracer but damn it made me so mad a while ago
I had a PR on one race of like 106 (I just recently started typing with proper form) and it did the thing to prove that I wasn't a robot but my internet wasn't fast enough to load the thing but it ran the timer anyway so it didn't believe my time ;-;

I'd say I'm around 90wpm if I'm trying but I'd really like to improve more

80 but i can probably do faster. I'm really bad at typing words off a screen, if i had it on a sheet of paper OR IN MY NOODLE i could do it better :)

I'll have to try at home. This keyboard seems to ghost if I hit certain letters too quickly and ends up transposing things.

sometimes i can reach 80 because i never cared to type quickly or cared enough to type with proper finger positioning

Scores: 110, 123, 107, 107, 117

averages out to 113

but i think it's just safer to say i can usually consistently clock around 110 and leave it at that

55, 62, 56, 59, 68
average: 60
reading and typing at the same time isn't really the same imo
also I don't generally have my thoughts planned out far ahead enough for my speed to really matter much to me because I'm often stopping to think, or going back to fix mistakes anyways, oh and having my laptop plugged into a larger monitor but I don't have an external keyboard so I'm always facing away from my keyboard
but yeah like everything else I do I am slow as shit

worth noting that if this included numbers i'd be a lot slower. while i have proper positioning for the primary three rows of keys, i pretty much refused to learn how to properly use the top number row when using home row positioning. mostly because my fingers are short.
