Ugh.
If I didn't make a billion mistakes when I typed, I would actually clock in at more than 60 - 65 WPM. >:/
Anyway, I'm too lazy to look for a good keyboarding test for everyone to use but that shouldn't prevent people from listing their typing speed. XD
So!! How fast can you type? And do you type with all your fingers and thumbs??

I did one of those tests many years ago, but I don't remember what I got. I'm probably a lot slower nowadays though, because I don't use a computer that much anymore. I often feel frustrated because I type much slower.

I forget mine as well, but it turned out to be pretty fast, especially considering that I'm essentially a two-finger typer. I am probably the fastest two-finger typer you will ever meet! -Tom Same here! xD I use both index fingers. I plan on trying a few programs that teaches how to use all the 10 fingers the most efficient way. And typing of Ys is definitely a good tool for training. For me it's also the hardest Ys game.

Wowzers. According to the site MP83 linked to, I vary between 79 - 82 WPM gross. I would be faster if I didn't backspace a million times. XD I have butterfingers that tend to slide onto other keys and all. :(
More people need to be able to do zippy 2-finger typing cuz a lot of shit would get done faster at my workplace if everyone could type fast. :P

Just tried the test MP83 linked to and I'm 32 WPM. X'D I'm pathetic. To top it off, I type only with my index and middle fingers. No full hand coolness for me! And I have to keep looking down at the keyboard occasionally. I don't have the letters memorized. Eh heh heh... I always get teased as being the idiot of the family for my typing skills. X'D Both my brother and dad are like... speedy typing demons.

Hey, you're not the only one. I got around 34 WPM. I suck too. Well, I'm typing with 8 fingers and a thumb. I've been trying to touch-type and I sorta succeeded. Except that I succeeded in only forgetting how to just type with 2 fingers.

In MP83's test I did First try: - Net Speed = 43 WPM - Accuracy = 93% - Gross Speed = 46 WPM Second try: - Net Speed = 45 WPM - Accuracy = 93% - Gross Speed = 48 WPM Wow, I'm not as good as I originally thought I guess! Or perhaps you MP83 are the speed demon! XD o.o' Awesome ponctuation! Also what a precision! Sometimes I skipped a character (comma or point usually) and couldn't return. xD This very much reminded me of Typing of Ys.
