How fast can you type, in words per minute?
When you use your fingers to press down the keys on a computer keyboard, at what speed can you do so?

80+ on average, I lag down to 71 or so sometimes, but that is when I am not caring. When I take typing tests I've randomly gotten 95-100. It was wierd...

I'm in the 80+ range normally.

However at the moment I am still experiencing wrist pains, and seeing a physio for it, and so I've taken my typing speed down a few notches in an effort to rest a little.

The pain sometimes forces typing speed down a fair whack too, but I try not to get so that it does....

I won't test myself at the moment, because I'm not willing to put my wrist through a typing test right now.... not till the pain is much more manageable. Maybe later though

Using the link that Hiryuu provided, it gave me a 47 wpm.
But I dont think I actually type that slow, its harder for me if I have to read something than it is to type what Im thinking.

I guess I will vote with the 47, though. Gosh Im a slow typer.

wow
I used to be around 100, I remember from an older topic here about typing speeds. Not that this suprises me, my speed and accuracy have really gone to shits over the past few months.

I hope mine doesn't go to shit while I'm resting with my wrist problem!!

I like being able to type fast -- in fact I frequently need to at work, when the client is talking a million miles a minute and I have to type it all out....!!

I'm on the 90-110 frontier. It all depends on how I'm feeling, what I'm writing, etc. But generally, I'm up there around 90 WPM.

About 110 to 145 here.
But when I've had one too many Rockstars (about 2 over the recommended daily limit), I get itchy typing fingers and go over 150. I freaking bang my fingertips on the keyboard!

Like I said, that's not possible. 110 I can believe maybe, it's not unheard of, but your style of writing suggests that you don't type fast and instead try to compensate by saying what you mean in a much less complete way. I could be very wrong, but I just have a hard time believing you.

Maximum I've heard is 170...and for me to think about my rate...that's double what I'm doing now. If you have the mental capacity and the finger speed...it's doable.

Hell I'm probably clocking around Raven's speed on 4-key when I play Stepmania.

Is that true? Highest I've heard is 120. Wow, just shows you what someone's capable of... 170 is much faster than speech

Still... I somewhat doubt that Raven actually types as fast as he says he does. I dunno, it just seems incredibly unlikely.

Note, Rockstars are energy drinks. You drink 4 or more of them, you'd be amazed at what you could do! I said I drank 5, and you would think anyone would be capable enough at that state.

Oh hell yeah! On a school typing test, I got 121! (Best speed on the document not average.) My average got 100 though so I guess I am getting better.

I've just noticed something about when I've been drinking.

Speed goes up dramatically -- but accuracy is a bit of a random crapshoot.

I should still be resting my wrist, but it's been much better in the last weeks.

I can type without looking at the keyboard, but type slower than others who do look at the keys. (I type 60-70 WPM at most w/legs collapsed)
