Be honest, /g/:
Do you type properly? Do you just peck at the keys? Something in between?
What is your typical WPM?
What is the fastest WPM at which you maintain accuracy?
>>51812262
Yes

You didn't need to reply, tripfag. We know you can shitpost at record speeds.
I didnt learn how to type well until i bought a blank keyboard. Honestly however you choose to type doesnt matter as long as you can do it fast and efficiently. Pic related.
I don't use right shift.
My best was a flawless one with 690 keystrokes in one minute, I use all of my fingers efficiently.
Nope I don't type properly.
my left hand does significantly more than my right hand when I type.
The letter "H" has been both using the left hand and the right hand while typing this comment.
I think the farthest over my left hand reaches is sometimes I type "Y" with my left hand.
Typical WPM? Around 90.
Highest I have ever gotten to is 102-110.
I kind of want an ergodox to force me to fix this some day.

I actually learned to type properly on a dvorak keyboard. I still need to learn how to type properly with the 5 fingers on a qwerty keyboard.
Anyone else learn to type from this nigger?
>>51812262
>three hands
Hell no.
I use something like 5-6 fingers, and I don't really see a need to type properly or spend the time learning.
>>51812262
I type with three fingers, one on left and two on right with qwerty.
Average is 110wpm at like 95% but the fastest I've ever maintained accuracy was on amphetamines at 135.
120wpm. I never actually learned how to type but I type normally.
>Do you type properly? Do you just peck at the keys? Something in between?
I type properly - legit properly
>What is your typical WPM?
70-80ish wpm when im not serious typing
>What is the fastest WPM at which you maintain accuracy?
85 wpm or so - 95-105 wpm (on typeracer) if i really concentrate
>>51812262
I touch type but I am clumsy.
My parents paid for a touch typing course when I was a kid. They had you covering up the keys with stickers so that you were forced to remember where the keys are. It was called pica training or some shit. Pretty good course imo.
I have tiny, limp-wristed, arthritic, plebian hands and can't reach all those keys from home row but never have to look at the keys and still type 80 wpm.
I use all fingers on my left hand, and only index and middle finger on my right. Someone called it FPS typing or something like that in a thread before.
I usually type at around 120wpm in English.
I can't help but assume all these wpm claims are inflated about 30%
I use the index and middle fingers on my right hand and only the index on the left hand. I had typing lessons at school but I never really learned that shit and now I'm too lazy to shake the bad habits and learn proper typing.
>What is your typical WPM?
50 or 60
>>51812262

well specifically the ones claiming they get 90+ without touch typing or only using a few fingers
I type like a pleb but it's not like fast, proper typing is a necessity for me
At least I can type without looking at the keyboard, albeit not super fast
I want to switch to programmers dvorak but ctrl+c, ctrl+v and ctrl+x really going to fuck me up. even ctrl+a
>>51812262
i type however the fuck i feel like retard
i type around 85
i don't use my pinkies, should really work on that
I never learned 10 finger system, so I only use about 3 to 5 fingers total.
I can hit 120 WPM with it. Anyone get better results with same amount of fingers? Just curious where I stand.
I took typing classes in high school but was never comfortable with home rows. Gave up on that and just started hitting what ever's nearest whichever finger, 120 WPM chicken pecking 4 lyfe.

I don't use the right shift or control keys, I frequently hit the y and b keys with my left hand, I find myself using my ring fingers to hit pinky letter keys instead. I average around 75wpm.
>>51812262

>>51812348

>>51813075
that's true, but the same applies for lighted keys
Touch type but; I don't use my pinkies on either hand. I'm essentially 8 fingered when typing.
Use my palms for CTRL(learned condition from gaming.) Don't use the home row. No number pad. (Tenkeyless, would never go back.)
I type, consistently, ~120 wpm. Like now, being drunk, I literally can't look at the keyboard when I type because it fucks me up.
>>51813036
Linking ability to touch type with being stupid... are you retarded or just a teenager?
my environment is forcing me to touch type - i sit in darkness and keys are not lit
>>51813250
>Palm for control when gaming
Why have I never done this. I've always just awkwardly curled my pinky
I average around 80WPM on typing tests, and I use all my fingers when typing.
My typing technique is far from "proper" though. Basically my right hand is an entire key further to the right that it should be. I also use the left hand for h, y, and b.
I use my right hand for shift, delete, backspace, arrow keys, home, and end buttons frequently. I think that's why I've come to have this posture. It really just came naturally, and I think I would prefer this to traditional typing.
The only non-letter keys I use my left hand for are space, ctrl, and alt.
Anyone else do this?
>>51813303
oh and I use a blank keyboard, best shit. forced me to learn to touch type, and I use a non-english layout anyway, so I spared a lot of hassle of either having mislabeled keys or having to get special keycaps.
Nope, I have my own method, it's similar to the OP pic but not quite, probably less efficient.
No clue about WPM since when I'm aware about the way I'm typing I can't type for shit, it's purely muscle memory at this point.

>2015...still using QWERTY
>a layout designed to make typing more difficult
You faggots will never know the unique pleasure of typing "minimum" on a Dvorak keyboard. Go try it with your QWERTY shitboard...feels ridiculous, doesn't it? The same goes for thousands upon thousands of common English words. Not so for a better layout, like Dvorak or Colemak.
The keyboard layout you've used your whole life is designed to make typing a shitty experience.
It's like you're all running a marathon with your shoes tied, and you're bragging about being the fastest. Enjoy your self torture!
>>51813913
>a layout designed to make typing more difficult
But it wasn't. QWERTY was designed so that typewriters wouldn't get stuck. Before QWERTY, the keys were arranged like a piano, which made it extremely easy for them to hit each other.
>>51813913
Post your wpm faggot, i'm sure you're faster than every qwerty plebs in this thread
>>51812262
Who the fuck doesn't have typing class in high school? How can you not know how to type anymore?
Though I never use my left thumb for the space bar or my right pinky for shift. And if I'm really lazy I'll use my left thumb to hit any key on the right when I need to hit Ctrl with it.
>>51815871
Who the fuck only learns how to type once in high school? I already typed at 70 word per minute in High School, so they just let me have a free hour for that class.
>>51812997
Its for learning how to touch type clearly.
>>51815871
Typing class in my high school was voluntary and took place in the afternoon. Barely anyone bothered taking it because of that.
I touch type, but don't do it "correctly" -- doesn't feel natural to leave my hands locked in the same position all the time.
Before I taught myself 10-finger touch typing, I used my two index fingers and averaged about 89 WPM with 92% accuracy. Now that I've switched I'm at 129 WPM with 97% accuracy.
>>51815889
I suppose they would be teaching it to kids in grade school now what with the tablets and the facer and the tweetbook.
I type pretty consistently around 100 with touch typing. I only really have trouble with flat keyboards, but that only takes it to like 95
I don't use my pinkies for anything but modifier keys. All letters are typed by fingers 1-3.

>>51816095
You'd be surprised how many people hunt and peck with their index fingers. Even if you only use three finger on each hand you're still ahead of the curve.
>>51816095
Are you living under a rock?
I taught myself to type by just using the computer, my pinky fingers are on the shift keys, thumbs on spacebar and use the other six fingers to type most of the stuff.
Can type between 80-95 in a test if there isnt an apostrophe in the word throwing me off.

Yeah, I wish I could do that, I have serious cellist hands, right hand is almost always in playing position, and my left ends up extending over to about J or Y, and I use my left thumb for the bottom row.
My left hand dominates the keyboard much more than my right, with all 5 on my left serving a function and maybe 3 on my right.
>>51812262
meh
60wpm with just two fingers
step aside
>>51816323
For a two-finger pecker that's pretty pro. Imagine how fast you'd be with using all of them.
I didn't learn to type with lessons or special typing programs or whatever. I just got good with experience. I use 2 hands but probably don't have textbook technique. I get 90-105 on tests depending on how simple the material is.
>>51812772
This tbн. I learned to do that back in sixth grade. I ain't gonna look at the keyboard each time I wanna type.
This said, I get around 80 WPM using three fingers in English, and 50 in my native language.
>>51812773
Learned to type properly as a kid. Fucking hated it, now I type while jumping around the keyboard, not entirely sure how to explain it. Definitely not the "home row" or proper way.
First try
>right handed
>type with fingers resting on home keys
>left hand is always on the home keys and uses all the fingers to type correctly

It wasn't a mistake, but a Freudian slip cuz yur mom
Below 70 wpm you might as well kill yourself.
Been doing touch typing since elementary, so glad we did all those typing games in computer class.
~80wpm
>Do you type properly?
My two main problems is that I often don't use shift with the opposite hand like we were always taught to do, and I habitually use my ring finger for delete, instead of pinkie.
Come to think of it, I also use my ring finger on the numpad a lot when pressing anything that isn't a number.
I use 2 fingers on my left hand and 3 on my right hand. It's inefficient but I can hit 120wpm if I try.
I can't type properly. I have a really hard time using my pinkies for their assigned keys and therefore use only four out of five fingers for the majority of my typing sessions. My hands are hueg and my fingers are really long... I can get 70 WPM on a good day with a keyboard I'm used to. Anyone here have similar issues?

Yep
The way i type is close to deathnotes overdone name writing. i wipe the sides of my hands across the keyboard as fast as i can lightly tapping as i go. I even throw my hands to the side if i type something difficult as if the momentum of my movements were enough to launch my arm outward. Smirking is optional but enjoyed
>>51812262
Use 5 fingers (lost my right hand to a crocodile). Typical speed 40 WPM, max speed 95 WPM.
I don't use my pinky fingers at all aside from punctuation and shift
85-90wpm is my bare minimum after correcting for mistakes and the fastest I've ever recorded myself typing was 115
>>51818397
Kek
>>51812262
No, I hit C with my index finger, and Q with my ring finger.
I don't touch type at all. In fact I use three fingers on qwerty. On my left hand, I use my index finger for everything from q to c if you look at it like a square. The rest is done with my index and middle finger on the right hand and my index does about t to n and ring u to l.
Someone, I still maintain 100wpm and above with almost 100% accuracy.
If someone can suggest a good way to record this to demonstrate better I would be open to it.
I only use three fingers on each hand to type.
Actually, I think it's three on the left and one on the right.
I blame WASD
>>51813303
I'm doing exactly the same.
In real life, you have to break lines, input capital letters, and change your wording very often.
About 75. I always do better on typeracer towards the beginning of the session. After a while with tricky words I start to slow down and think too much about which finger goes where.
>>51812262
Getting a mechanical keyboard soon, but for now I appy pretty medium pressure. Just enough to hit the key.
Typical wpm ~77. Fastest I've maintained accuracy was 83, dropped a few words at 89.
I only use the numberpad for the home/end keys.

That shit was by childhood
I don't follow the rules of typing but I can still do 90-95 WPM. I should probably record a video of myself typing and then try and map out which of my fingers I use for which letters. Even I have no idea what to call my typing style.

The best I can manage is around 70wpm but I'm on a shitty laptop chiclet kb. Should I just accept that I suck at this or do you think a good keyboard really goes a long way with this?
i type a significant amount of keys on the right with just my index finger. dunno why. I seem to be way more dexterous with my left hand.
>>51812977
Stop posting your fucking retarded excuses to show off your guns you tool. You're making us all look bad.
I'm embarrassed to share this, but it's something that's been bothering me ever since I realized I was typing like this...
But as this anon said:
>>51812348

So maybe I shouldn't bother fixing it. 85wpm but every time I type a . I feel like a pleb

On 10fastfingers I can get 134 easy.
>>51812262
>>51812262
I use my two index fingers but type fast as fuark
I score about 80 wpm when typing alphabets. i considerably slow down when the text contains numerals too... I type very slow when it comes to numbers and I have to look at the keyboard everytime.
Do you guys have any tips on how to increase typing speed with the number pad?
I use both of my pointing fingers. I know how to touch type, but for some reason I'm way more faster with just two fingers.
>>51812262
of course i type properly because i'm not a smartphone generation millennial. wpm was around 90 in high school and i've only gotten faster over the past decade.
I used to type really fast when I placed the ring finger on the 'A' key. Now that I place the fingers on the right keys I can't type nearly as fast as before. I make less typos though.
>>51821984
Is 80-90 WPM from a high school student considered good by today's standards?
>>51812262
When I need to write normal text, without capitals and/or punctuation, I can go really fast; like about 100 wpm. Still got margins for improvement, since I hit wrong keys pretty often.
The problems come when I need to write code. Who the fuck thought that placing all the punctuation under the right pinky was a good idea? This slows me down to, like, 20-30 wpm. It's unbearable. Seriously considering buying an ErgoDox at this point tbqh.
Using colemak tho.
>>51812262
I've been using proper typing techniques the past couple weeks unless I have to get a message out really fast.
I hope after a couple more weeks of typing properly, I can type as fast as I used to.
I can already tell that typing properly is a lot more efficient than my old technique. I'm just not quite there yet.
I never learned how to type the correct way and I'm to lazy to relearn it all. So to this day I type with two pointer fingers very quickly. I would do a wpm but I'm on mobile.
Anyone has a good site to learn proper typing? I have a blank keyboard, hoping i'd get better at typing, but i keep sucking meh
I don't type super properly, but I don't just peck at the keys. On a familiar keyboard I can probably hit 115 WPM with mistakes, and 85-90 without any.
Reminder that touch typing is a skill you can put on your resume. Because the average guy can't do it.
I learned to type on a manual Sears typewriter so I mostly use my index fingers to type, you had to really jam on the keys which is why I do that. I know how to type with the homerow but it's hard to switch after such a long time, it also feels like the homerow is worse for things other than words, I feel like my way allows me to do meta inputs for controlling programs a lot faster and easier, as well as type symbols for programming with no impact on regular words.
I need to put in more time with the homerow to really decide but man is it hard to switch.

Typewriter related.
How am I supposed to type like this, when I have KB and M positioned like pic related?
Ideally the keyboard is centered with the monitor, but then using the mouse is a pain in the ass.
All this could be solved if "arrow key block" and the numpad were on the left site of the keyboard.
Also I don't like keyboards without a context key. In this webm you can't shift select these.
>>51823067
How big is your keyboard? The left side of my keyboard is flush with the left side of my monitor, my mouse is flush with the right side, the pad extends past the right side but the mouse doesn't travel that far for me because I have the sensitivity very high.
>>51823117
The space that you type on must be aligned with the monitor. When I do that, my numpad is on my mousepad and I get hand cramps.
>>51822944

>>51825125
Open headphones are also a thing.
>>51825614
From the left of the keyboard maybe above the hand angled downward.
If it's too much trouble don't worry about it, I'm just curious if it's more a thing related to hand size or keyboard size/layout.
Left hand:
>Thumb on edge of spacebar
>Pointer on F
>Middle on E
>Ring on W
>Pinkie on A
Right Hand:
>Thumb curled in over Ctrl/alt
>Pointer on <
>Middle on L
>Ring on ;
>Pinrkie on '
And with the right hand i move it left and right along the same rows of keys, bringing me from <L:" to MKL: or NJKL

Your schematic looks autistic and as outdated as the typewriters this keyboard is based on.
