Author Topic: Hao2tipe fast? (Read 3491 times)

Meh, this one is strange.
On a real one I've clocked 130wpm*, no mistakes.
I tend to type at an average of ~100wpm, though.

*Didn't use homekeys. If you think they help, they don't.

You suck at typing then, homekeys DO help, try typing without the letters written on the keyboard.

I have muscle memory of the keys' relative positions to each other, so I can type that fast without looking at the keyboard/screen to confirm what I've hit. Someone could even mix up the keys and I'd still be fine. (VERY helpful for typing up papers and such that I've already drafted on paper.)

Because you look at the keys, how do you memorize key positions when they're mixed up? You are officially handicapped.

I learned without the home keys, so if I look at the keys I can let loose, but I've gotten pretty good at not looking at either the screen or the keys and managing well. If I look at the screen and let loose, I'll make a lot of mistakes. If I just look at the screen and type, I'll go slower and correct mistakes quickly, and if I look at the keyboard and wail on it, I'll go pretty fast and make minimal mistakes, but be more inclined to make grammatical mistakes and ramble a bit.
