Typing Test--125 WPM

How did this get 27,000 views? Don't you all have something better to do? :-D
(Results screen at the end)
Sorry about the cruddy accuracy! I take my new keyboard for a spin on Typingtest.com. Plenty of errors and not my best result (I made 133 earlier today), but I'm still thankful for what I got.

My 3 ingredients to successful typing:
1--Prayer-to keep in perspective
2--The DVORAK key layout; with the vowels on one side and the consonants on the other, it makes typing much easier (and safer, even!)
3--A buckling spring "Unicomp Spacesaver" keyboard. The spring-loaded keys rebound much faster than do modern "rubber dome" keyboards, a great asset in speed typing.
4-Practice. I spend a lot of time at the computer desk.

Again--my typing might not be on par with some of the Youtube elites, but at least you get to see a nifty keyboard.

I should add: it's not like I have crazy skills. A lot of credit is due to the Dvorak layout. I've practiced touch typing with QWERTY (I actually just learned how to do this), and though I haven't had nearly as much practice as I've had with Dvorak, I find it hard to sustain 40 WPM or above. Do yourself a favor and learn the Dvorak layout--maybe, after enough practice, you'll post a video outdoing mine. :-)

@LT129 Lol--this definitely isn't what I do all day. And now that I'm a sophomore in college, there's plenty of stuff to keep me occupied. So don't fear: my life is actually quite happy!

my personal best is 130 wpm with 0 errors on typingtestdotcom

i use qwerty

[hunter10nw]

I can only type with my index and middle finger and I can still get 90 wpm. I really need to work on my typing because if I could use all of my fingers it'd be so much better. But typing with your pinkie is fucking difficult

@tonychet2s That's extremely good. You already type much faster than the vast majority of computer users.

I know wut typing is im not an idiot -_-

[KBurchfiel]

@MsRockme12 I'm certainly not looking at the keys; to type fast, you generally have to memorize where they are, which is called "touch typing." But it's worth learning how to do this, because your typing speed can increase greatly when you don't have to look for which key to press.

@LorDneXb Glad you're not fat! Although I wouldn't call myself fat either, probably because I get so much exercise from typing ;-)
