Just a fun thread for a Friday afternoon.
Most of us spend a significant percentage of our waking hours typing away on our keyboards. But how fast are we each typing?
Take the test here: https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/
- What's your WPM (words-per-minute)?
- Do you use an external keyboard?
- Any Dvorak or other non-QWERTY typers?

A person's typing speed is generally measured in words per minute (WPM). There is no definitive answer to the question of what qualifies as a "fast" typing speed, as it can vary depending on factors such as the individual's occupation, age, and level of experience. That said, a study from 2018 found that the average typing speed among all adults was 36.6 WPM.
There are a number of ways to improve one's typing speed. For beginners, mastering the proper technique is key - this means posture, grip, and finger placement should be optimized for comfort and efficiency. Once the basics have been mastered, practice makes perfect - lots of typing practice will obviously lead to an increase inspeed.

97 WPM with 95% efficiency (only one wrong word). On a good day, I can clock up to 115...but not today.
I've got an old Apple Pro external keyboard that I've been using forever (connected to my Linux Toshiba Thinkpad).
Plain old QWERTY here. :3

I think I do some sort of...
6 - 7 1/2fingers typing style.^^My best out of 3 tries.
Looks like with my typing style I could achieve something pushing a little hard on my French words
Not bad for someone which doesn't type with 10 fingers ^^'
A coworker once mocked me for not doing 10-finger typing.
I told him I was thinking faster so I could type more slowly.
He never mentioned my typing again.
And his frantic keyboard hacking slowed down considerably... ;)
