How old are you? I mean it's great and all that you've been making progress, but even drunk I can get 88+ words per minute with 100% accuracy.

As for touch typing, no, not a meme.

im not great, i usually type slower than i do in this test unless its something that i know how to type out very well, and i dont have to use Shift or punctuation

also i made three god danm spelling errors in a row and slowed the hell down to fix them, but i dislike typing tests and i dont feel like doing it again
my issue is hand hand coordination, sometimes i type one letter out of sync with another when across hands such as
dislike turning into disliek

Get on my level, bitches

>>62168402
hunt and pecking at 110 is worse than touch typing at 90. When you're touch typing at 90, you can watch your screen while you type or multi-task.

You can't do that while hunting and pecking.

Maybe this is me personally, but I'd prefer to type 20% slower and touch type, than peck.

I definitely would be faster or more accurate typing while looking at the keyboard, typing the exact way I am now, but touch typing is more practical.

I can try

do touch typists here find some keys unintuitive with their designated finger? O with right ring finger feels so unnatural for me.

I feel left middle and index are all I'm using, so I don't know if it's bad form or if I'm just stupid for not understanding that's how QWERTY is designed.

For example this is generally how I place my fingers on the keyboard, although sometimes depending on what I'm doing my left pinky rests on CTRL instead and my middle finger moves down to D.

I left the punctuation on the right unshaded as I don't really use any specific finger for them. My right hand tends to rest in the area of all the punctuation, so if I need some punctuation after a string of letters from the left side of the keyboard it'll be within reach of my index finger. Otherwise if my right index finger is preoccupied with typing, then I strike it with either my middle or ring finger randomly.

Hey guys, I only type with my two index fingers when using a keyboard but can still type at an average speed. I'd like to start utilizing all of them, can anyone reccomend any good learning resources?

>>62170209
Unless you're doing data entry with large blocks of contiguous text, any speed higher than ~80wpm is going to be bottlenecked by the speed at which you think of what to type.

>>62170372
If you're typing that slow and inaccurately then the keyboard is not part of the problem

>>62170571
80 wpm is sadly way more than your average /g/ user is capable of.

>>62168054

>>62170594
Most people in these threads seem to be at least around the 80 mark with many people in the 100-150 range. I'm not sure how there are people here who can only type at <= 50 other than they're maybe doing it on a phone or something, but they're a minority either way.

Good enough

This test tests only English written text. Useful when writing newspaper articles.

But what really is hard is coding, using all weird characters from all places of keyboard plus things like home and end.

Additionally, in my language (Polish), 10% of letters are typed using right alt, which makes typing a lot slower and more error-prone.

Higher than I imagined, but the fact that you can pre-read words before you have to type them makes it a lot easier

>>62170824
This.
How fast you are doesn't matter if your code is shit.

>>62170840
I was already warmed up when I got here, but the difference between being warmed up and not is only about 5wpm and a little bit of accuracy anyway.

>>62170883

That might be true, but at least I prefer to either think or write, not doing both at the same time. Once I've decided on what to write I think it's helpful to write quickly.

How to I learn to type properly, /g/? I have this weird touch type where I use about 4 fingers and type at 70 wpm more mistakes than I'd like.

I basically move my hands when I type a lot, using mostly the index and middle fingers from both hands and also the ring fingers a bit. I get 80-100 wpm usually, should I try and relearn typing with touch typing, or should I just keep using my method I'm used to?

Just got my first mechanical keyboard (blue switches). The sound is so addicting.

>>62171161
Same thing here

>>62171210
Outside of showing off on typing tests you will never type much faster than your current speed. Not worth the effort of re-learning how to type.

>>62169377
QWERTY is archaic. It was literally designed to slow you down to stop typewriters jamming. Change keyboard layout to Dvorak.

>>62172208
But if I do want to show off on typing tests, will it help? I don't care about investing much time into it as long as I will eventually type faster than I do now. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to reach the same speed that I type in now, and that I won't be able to go back to my current method.

I can't really think of a comfortable way to record it but you can get a general idea of what I do with my fingers from >>62170498

I move my hands around quite a lot, especially my right hand, I rarely use a finger other than my index on my right hand unless I'm typing multiple letters in a row from that side of the keyboard (for ex. if I'm typing "police" i might strike the p with my middle finger and the o with my index).

>>62173683
