Looks like I'll take second place... Not beating that.. lol

I find I'm more consistent on ergonomic keyboards. On this damn laptop I sometimes get going too fast and accidentally hit another key, and when that happens I've already spilled 20 or so characters to the keyboard; it's all downhill from there.

You use QWERTY?

Yes. I hit 158wpm on a Dvorak layout about 6 or so years ago, but didn't keep using it consistently enough to make it useful.

Gross: 76
Net: 73

I think I could have done better if I didn't have to read it, though. Although I have no idea how that'd work ...

69 WPM. 96% = net 65 WPM.

Damn, you guys are fast!! :shock;

2nd test...

73 WPM. 95% = net 70 WPM.

Oh well, can't complain! :)

Best and most useful class that I took in high school was typing (real typewriter though, not a keyboard! :shocked;).

On my Laptop:
Gross: 82 wpm
Erros: 2
Net: 80 wpm

I can do ~100-110 wpm on normal desktop keyboards and ~120 on my personal desktop keyboards (you get used to your own keyboard :) )

Tried a few times, between 80-90. I have big hands and have sacrificed a split keyboard to go wireless, and my typing has paid for it :(

95 WPM, 100% accuracy on laptop.

I can push 120 WPM, 100% accuracy (of course) on a good keyboard.

Wow some people here type almost three times as fast as I do when copying from a paper onto a computer. :(
