88+ wpm. I'm an uber typist. I still get the occasional typos but generally I'm good. :)

Yes, but not in a traditional way. I avg 70-75 WPM using my index finger and thumb on my left hand and my thumb, index, and middle finger on my right hand.

Added poll option for you.
Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

:laugh:

Mine is unorthodox as well. I never really learned "home-row" so my fingers are trained from my "hunt & peck" days....I still type just fine.

Yep. And it's the reason that I can't find a decent wireless keyboard. So far, every wireless keyboard that I've tried will lag if I type at around 70-80wpm, which is my normal typing speed.

I tend to scare people at work by holding a conversation with them while I type something completely unrelated.

I kinda have to look about every 6-10 letters to make sure my hands aren't out of place

88 WPM with 100% accuracy, faster if I don't mind missing a couple typos

Yeah. 115 wpm. Sometimes I have to look down to get a number character like * or & or $.

Of course I can. I learned on a manual typewriter. I like to use both hands. ;)

I bought a Cordless MX Duo a couple years back, and to this day have never had a problem with lag.
