Typing sucks!

[Gavaroc]

My average is 53 Words Per Minute thusfar. Funny if some of us actually had a race with each other and didn't know it. How long has that site been around?

 

[Yan-Yan]

I have to say, this is oddly fun...

It feels weird to actively compete with people at typing, but at the same time, it's almost.. exciting (?) to do so?

God that makes me such a nerd...

 

[Markness]

Hmm, I also type with two fingers and I get around 40-45 wpm. Which at best gets me second. Must... win...
Pretty addictive game, I must say.

Damn, and here I thought 70-80 wpm was fast...

my mom could type faster than a 486 and pentium 100 could render some of the text, she was up in the 120 words per minute range. on our old 8086 and 286 she used to make the buffer overflow cause she typed so fast, you'd see her type and suddenly here BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP and then about 2 lines of text appear and she'd have to retype a few things cause the buffer lost what she had typed

me i'm in the 80 or so words per minute range and lower once you get everything correct

it's always funny having ppl ask me how i type so well, i'm like "well i type a lot" it's called practice makes perfect. ppl are amazed i can look at something else and still type correctly or on the rare occasion carry on another conversation while typing something out

Well...I had 30WPM but that's because I'm used to writing with Firefox spell checker...goddamn little typos.

 

[monodiabloloco]

That shit is lame. Real men who want a typing game play the kind with flesh-eating zombies.

Now THAT'S fun.

I play that all the time at home.

ummm dude whats the point of this

really
why?

if u hate typing and you have Vista *Shudder* i do but its all i can get without resorting to imports, use the voice control, its fucking awesome, it took me 5 minutes to set up 2 of reading for basic commands and 10 to teach the comp. to recognise my voice

now i can just stay "Open Steam" no more clicking and typing for me

I think it may need a little bit more work.

Also, that's pretty awesome. I managed high 70s on average, and beat the top-scoring guy in my last race.

 

[Omnidum]

Oh, I thought I typed well, but it's only at 26 wpm, god damnit.

 

[boyitsme95]

This is hard! I only got 28wpm and I thought I could type quickly, and I still won!

 

[Sib]

65wpm here, man i got 4th place by like 1 wpm from 2nd

I've noticed that if you play it for a while, it starts to pit you against people on par with your average wpm. So you might kick ass for a few rounds then get humiliated by coming in 7th because the quote has a ton of elements that aren't letters, or that your hands get tired.

 

[Gavaroc]

I know what you mean.

Whoever decided to put in the quote with 'gorgeousness and gorgeousity' in it should be caught and shot right now. Especially because I had that quote three times in a row....

I just discovered the very same site and I have to say that I am surprised over how fast I am at typing. 85 wps! And a very high rate of accuracy (usually around 99%) - and this on a language that is not even my native tongue.

This has most likely to do with the fact that I've been using computers for almost 20 years and gotten well used to the keyboard. Everyone tells me I type really fast, but dang! I'm surprised.
