- I Practiced Touch Typing For 30 Days
I tried to learn touch typing in 30 days. My typing skills have never really been up to par but in this short period I was able to go from 28 words per minute to 70 words per minute. This is a video about how I did it.

Hey I really wanted to know how you have dual language keycaps/ qwerty(eng) with German keycaps? Where can I get them?
Back when I was 11, I borrowed this CD where it teaches you typing. Twenty years later, I'm still glad I did it. My max so far is 130wpm. I thought I was slow until I see pretty much everyone I know type. Holy shit.
That's som God level shit
Lemme guess the software's name is typing mastet?
My record was like 104wpm on typeracer when the grammatic is very easy.
130wpm is really fast, gj bro
I am not sure if i touch type or not. I know where the keys are so i can focus my eyes somewhere else but only for a short time because my fingers get disoriented. I get like 60-65wpm
@@BeanieBanta That's actually not bad, I did that in my early days of typing until I learnt that the Fand J keys have a bump to help you reposition your hands. It's sometimes just simpler to take a glance and reposition your fingers but since I type in the dark (mostly in the night without a back-lit keyboard) I've been feeling out for them when my fingers get disoriented.
Still glance for rarely used symbols though. I'm looking at you ~ [ ] | \
"I have 670 wpm with 2% accuracy"
XD
fair
That's incredible LMAO!!
Thats dumb fast...
Same lol
If I do a word typing test then I average at around 100 WPM, but there's no way I could ever code at such a speed. My brain doesn't work that fast. :D
how did u take that word typing test?
I got 95 wpm
@@hyt69 You can type "Type test" in google and it will list many sites where you can take the test.
@@shawnjames3242 kiddo you're saying random wpm under every comment lol
Same here, I type pretty fast normally I could type 4000 words in about 45 minutes but programming haha that thing takes a lot of time because I can't think logically as fast as I can do a brain dump.
06:50 - there are mechanical reason for why we got stuck with QWERTY. initially the pioneers of typewriting were looking at layouts that'd group frequently used letters together. What they ended up with were typewriters that constantly got stuck because the arms to which the letters where attached blocked one another. so they were looking for a layout that would allow the letter arms to return to the starting position without other arms getting in the way. they came up with QWERTY and by time the mechanics weren't a problem anymore, QWERTY was already established and no one was keen to learn a potentially more efficient layout.
I’m so glad that in Elementary school I did the typing games instead of playing video games on other sites... my current fastest is 180 WPM! It’s almost a hobby for me.
180 is absurd, nice
same, the boys in my elementary school would always compete on nitro type to see who can type the fastest
gd 180 is crazy i wanna see that in action
Why do you have to flex in a RUclips video
Sure dude, IM SO GLAD THAT IN ELEMENTARY I DID THE TYPING GAME, stfu like that would get u to 180,
Who else came here just to see what touch typing was just to find out its normal typing?
yep
Me
Rofl yup
This video felt so weird. Is he the average? Or am I the average? I can't tell, but I've always thought everyone on the internet.. typed a lot. I can't fathom how he was at 28 WPM lol
Was expecting him to be hitting like 150 or something impressive like that.
Edit: Just to weird flex, my fastest was upper 150s, but I know that's not practical. I think most people plateau at like 110 because you never think that fast in normal conversation.
Mike C Thank god I thought I was the only one lol.
At some point around the 120 mark I was finding myself unable to form quality sentences when writing essays and repeating short phrases in paragraphs.
Been doing this for about 4 months @ 25mins a day, got from 41 wpm to 91!
After all this time, I have just one recommendation - *ACCURACY IS KEY* !
Sean Wrona, the world's fastest typist has the same recommendation. Focus on accuracy first. Get it to a level where you make almost zero mistakes. This will get you pretty fast on its own. Then you can focus on speed
@@glokta1 true because when i don't get a lot wrong I can type 70+ but when I get a lot of wrong mines like 60+
I think if you get a better keyboard I think it will also help
pun intended!
How accurate do you get? (in %)
You reached 70 wpm in 30 days? You're a beast man. I've only just cracked 70 wpm this year and I've been practicing for four years! But I have famously unindependent fingers. I go to move just one finger and another two will move with the one I intended to move as well.
im trying to type 70 wpm i beat my score at 60wpm and i look at the keyboard sometime my eyes go off and i stil, dont use the right thing....
My fingers sont let me type
I'm at 35 wpm in two weeks. I hope I can get to atleast 60 by next week because I can now type all letters comfortably

When you learn how to touch type, it becomes so addicting. I've spent time before starting a project "warming up" by doing a typing test.
After I've finished it's usually so late that there's no point in starting the project.
started a year ago and I still practice it everyday when I don't have anything better to do
SAME I GO ON FOREVER
@@Qizot I usually just do typing tests while I'm listening to podcasts on the side
When I finished all tasks at work I do typing test so people think I'm still working and so they don't bother 😂
I have never related to a comment as much as this one !
2:21 As a computer programmer. I have to disagree. I code as slow as molasses. Not because of slow typing speed as I can go 104wpm. But rather because programming doesn't require you to type fast. You really use more brains when coding, rather than just dashing through. Fast typing speed helps but most of the time I'd code at around 40 - 60 wpm to avoid errors like misplaced ' ; ' and whatnot. I think a fast wpm would be for typing jobs such as journalist, writers, and online bloggers. That's what I feel. (sorry bad English not my first language.)
yup, fast typing is more for typing without thinking tasks
I keep doing : or ' instead of ;
Your English is very good as your seccond language 👌🏼
That and having a setup where you can use a lot of shortcuts. 30 rpm is far from good, but it's an acceptable speed for most things.
He said what he did there. He was joking about programmer perceived as fast typer as in movies.
It's awesome that you worked so hard at this! I think part of what held you back was switching back and forth between different keyboards--consistency really helps even if you've been typing a long time. My oldest son learned "keyboarding" in fourth grade which I think was a superb idea. Unfortunately we moved and my youngest son is in sixth grade and he hasn't learned yet. I may have to teach him (and my husband) with this website! Thanks! I'm a pro writer and I'm currently working on accuracy so I have fewer typos to correct in my manuscripts.

Touch typing and just typing correctly is something I’m glad I took the time to learn regardless of how frustrating it was. I practiced like crazy in the beginning to go from 30 wpm to 76 wpm. It’s something that you must keep practicing on a daily basis. Even if it’s for 5 minutes. Glad you got to learn how to do it. It really is a life changer. Great video! Definitely keeps me inspired to get better.

@@gavin3598 What is he's native language?
When I was 14 I was typing at 140wpm and it’s all because when I was younger I used to play MMORPGs online. Trying to fight the monsters and speak to other players really forced me to start typing quicker. I never even realized that was considered quick until I would play typeracer in computer science class at school and would beat most people. For the most part, I don’t even use all that speed because I can’t think that quickly, but it’s useful for copying notes in lecture

Fun fact about QWERTY keyboard I read/heard some time ago:
As you said they put commonly used keys apart from each other, but there is another very important reason for it.
It was designed for typewriters and if you've used an old school type writer before , when typing fast the hammers that put ink to paper tend to collide and get stuck midway. If the keys are next to each other, hammers are too. So their paths overlap most of the way to the paper, making them collide much easier. So let's say if you are writing "red" you'd have to wait for hammer to come back for every letter.
When the letters are apart; hammers come from angle and only crossover is right at the end where it punches the paper, leaving it much wider leeway to clickety clicking.
@Kanaba Nakamura don't we already did? There are tons of different layouts available
Hey man, I haven't commented on any of your videos yet, even though I have watched them all. Thanks for all of your quality content and education, because of your videos I was able to learn to code and get a job as a python developer. Thanks for all your hard work, please keep the quality videos coming.
That’s really cool to hear, I’m happy that my videos were able to be of some help! And I appreciate you saying this! :)
I tried this and the biggest issue was unlearning my old habits, when i have work to do i often go back to my old style just because it is more consistant right now, so that undoes much of the work i put into learning touch typing
Same here.
Same thing for me. How're you
doing now about a year later?
Yes, same, I worked in office setting for two years and learned some awful typing habits that took, and is still taking, a lot of conscious effort to not get back on, especially tend to come back once I’m in a hurry
@@singasong785Ikr!
Congratulations. That's great. The older I get, the more I appreciate my junior high school typing class. It was on typewriters. I do coding as a hobby and to learn more. But, my main job isn't coding. In fact, whenever my coworkers see me type, I've gotten a few stares or questions. I only type 65WPM. I'd like to get faster. But, I haven't been able to do it yet.
whats you ig miss Becca if i may ask
The thing about practicing typing is that when you start..... You.Cannot.Stop.

Damn I just realized how lucky I am. In elementary school, we had computer lab once every week and all we did was typing games for 1 hour. We did this since 1st grade and now my average wpm is 80. I'm in middle school right now so computer lab is probably something new to some of you guys
Yeah...you are very lucky
In my country,theres no computer when in elementary school
I hope you never feel unfortunate in your life :)
I have the computers in my school too and we practice a lot but my average is just 66wpm and my fastest typing speed is 76wpm.
Yeah i did the same, lots of typing games in middle school. Now im in college and am writing 83wpm and it makes exams and essays much easier.
My school did the same in about 4th maybe 5th grade, but I had been playing computer games for years so, y'know, old habits die hard. Needless to say, I didnt pay any bit of attention to the lessons and now I can only type like 90wpm max lol
I had labs on elementary, but still i consider this entire thing and video useless since i've been using a pc since i was 3, i literally didn't understand how people could be so slow at typing (i mean, in gta sa if i didn't make in time to write the cheat code in time my car would blow up so yes... That helped a lot, stress of losing the mission
Same!
Finished Computer Science without learning how to type properly.
Now I'm on my 11th day of practicing the right way on monkeytype
This video almost feels nostalgic now. This is the one the thing which was very helpful to me during pandemic. It been 3-4 years now since i learned to touch type and now I'm typing this without even looking at the keyboard. This is amazing video
The "p" , "q", and "a" keys are also hard for me since my pinky fingers are slightly bent.
I had same thoughts but after practicing it is not that bad anymore. Keep your wrist in air.
I've been practicing for some time now and, at first, I hated typing the letter "p" because my pinky would force my ring finger to move causing an error. But after some time, that distance and pull loosened until my fingers became independent and followed what I wanted them to do. It takes time though so just keep that in mind. 👍
low rows forces me into uncormfortable bending of fingers, it is freakin' annoying.
huh, I type p with my ring finger.
@mr.1n5an_e can i get 30 wpm In one month am new one in typing
Some tips you guys may need before wanting to type fast is
- Touch typing : the ability to type without looking at the keyboard which is typing using your muscle memory.
- Accuracy : Accuracy matters more then speed and, accuracy gives you more wpm if you didn’t know. Being consistent when it comes to accuracy can be really beneficial when doing some productivity for work.
- Type short phrases or paragraphs : Typing really big text is not really helpful as, it only improves your stamina and, not speed because, the words in there may be big and, you may not have enough stamina to type fast long enough. Short phrases or paragraphs can quickly build up speed by doing quick starts (early fast jumps in words) and, do fast typing without draining all your stamina at the same time of messing up a lot.
- It’s better to start practicing until you reached 95% accuracy or higher in your average speeds then try to speed up. Trying to speed up early is like forcing your horse to go faster without even watching for the curves or jumps during a race.
- Play video games as funny as it sounds it’s very beneficial. As for me I learned most of the keys in my keyboard without looking by video games. Video games can give you a pre-mature feeling of touch typing. Even though you most likely will not use the whole keyboard layout for gaming as such in key binds or settings and etc it may help you remember some keys for finger coordination and, touch typing.(Note: doing this may get you more into 3-4 finger typing like me which can be a huge drawback compared to a 10 finger speed. As it’s possible to type 120wpm using 3-4 fingers and, 90 wpm average which is me You can barley get any faster then a average experienced 10 finger typers).
Use websites that do automatically generated text or, typing courses for free such as ratatype.com it may do repetitions of text but, it’s just for finger stamina , consistency and, muscle memory. It tells you where the fingers would be placed when typing and, it also offers you to type pieces of coding too.
That’s all I may know or remember, but I only type with 3-4 fingers so, people who are looking to type fast with 10 fingers or wanting to type with 10 fingers I can’t help a lot when you ask questions about that. I only know a lot of 3-4 finger typing techniques and, ideas.
Extra Details how do you have Time to write this holy sh#t
Is it really 10 finger typing tho, who uses both their thumbs 😂
@@cycoticgaming7637 if you can type decently fast (especially fast enough to keep up with your thoughts) then it's quite easy. iknow for me when i type on my computer for fb messenger, or whatsapp, i basically type as much as i talk. But when i'm on my phone, i just voice note (i talk a lot) and am too lazy to type that crap out.
This is why I've been trying to make myself a custom keyboard. Not just because they feel better but because I want to make a layout with keys that suit me for typing quickly. Thanks for the tips here aswell. My current average speed with touch typing on qwerty is 140WPM but my peak when writing comfortable words together peaks 230WPM ! Gonna try out some more of these tips. I fell into the hole of speeding up too early so thanks for telling me to slow down :)
@@puppersdotme8511 yeah no problem , remember accuracy is key to higher speeds. Drop your finger speed down about 5-10 wpm your fastest and keep that up consistently till you get 95% accuracy or more then you can start getting faster. Good luck to you!
this video made me learn touch typing. now is 80-95 in 10fingers. cheers..
I was in exactly same boat as you about 2 months ago. Same idea, found keybr.com and learned how to touch type through it while working from home due to covid.
2 suggestions for using keybr.
1. Download an eBook, go to settings, and pick typing own text option. Paste in the field, first chapter from the book. Once you complete the chapter, replace it with the next one and so on.
Downside of this, is that keybr does not remember where in the book you stopped, so chapter by chapter is the best approach I could come up with.
Benefit of this, is that it will allow for using upper case letters as well as all standard symbols used in text, with the standard frequency of those coming up in the text. If you choose option in keybr exercise, it just spams upper case and symbols with every word, which I personally find unrealistic and annoying, and uncomfortable for hand movements since signs are placed rather awkwardly.
2. In the settings you can extend the length of the text in standard keybr exercises. It will help to build up some dexterity and show how good or bad you really are.
I've been doing exercises at full length for a long while now. My max was 69WPM. After I watched your video I switched back to the minimum length of the text and I hit 75WPM at the first try.
I find that short text gives you fall sense of confidence. In longer exercise you will be making more mistakes and you will be slower. But in the end of the day, you will be typing much more than 25 words at a time in real life.
Keep practicing! I am so addicted to this I can't stop for hours sometimes once I start haha
I started my journey 3 days ago. Hopefully I'll see an improvement. Literally the video I needed.
How is it?
How’d it go?
Solid 80 wpm here, and practicing touch typing did teach me a lot about discipline, perseverance and english (given that my main language is portuguese). A great, fun and useful hobby.

Your key layout is similar to what we have in the German layout. I always find it a bit frustrating for coding compared to US. For example modifiers needed for ;:= [ ] or >< on a single key, / on the number 7. Great video. Really enjoyed your journey. I feel connected since it’s something I also do. I think many people have a a similar experience with typing even in tech. I know programmers that still use only two fingers
I started typing pretty recently (around a month ago) and I hit 70 wpm which was huge for me. Definitely helped me in just normal everyday tasks on my computer.

I started this same experiment just a month back. At start my typing speed was around 10-12 wpm. I continued it for 12 days. And I ended up with 32 wpm. Later I didn't continue it. 😅 I want to be over 50wpm. May be I will start again. But exactly like you've mentioned, when I start I couldn't stop.
How fast can you type now? Seeing the results is addictive :)
@@wladfan sorry to disappoint you buddy. But as I have mentioned earlier, I have stopped the experiment after reaching the 32wpm mark which is below average I know. But at that time pmy work didn't allow me to practice any longer. Now I am thinking about continuing that again. And I surely let you know if I pass my next 50wpm target. I will probably mark my progress by editing this comment or continuing this thread. I don't know 😅

but reaching that milestone is just and just because of you...hope to type 100wpm one day...thanku so much buddy😊
I can learn how to touch type in 2 seconds if I’m raging in the chat or talking shit
I used to type using only 6 fingers, yes I know, it’s weird. I got an average of 80WPM and a PR of 122. Now however with “touch typing” I can do 17-20WPM. I can say however after 2 days my speed increased by 3x. I now have a PR of 66WPM and an average of 40-50. In other words to the person who’s reading this, don’t give up :)
i use three fingers lmfao
You’ll get to your old speed soon. Before learning how to touch type, I had a burst speed of 60 wpm. After learning to touch type, I built back up and now hit 65 wpm. On average I type at 46 wpm but when typing essays or blog posts it rises to 58 wpm.
I’m in the same boat rn. Hoping to reach at least 70 by the time schools starts with good accuracy
Dude, you are clever and intelligent. It’s just that you never took the time to learn correct techniques. Yer gonna love it man.
As an ex-regular typist who switched to touch-typing, I wanna mention that you CAN type fast with regular typing, but you're more likely to make mistakes. So, you're really better off learning to touch-type as it will make your life easier by helping you type faster without making many mistakes. (Also, it feels a lot more satisfying.)
What's touch typing
@@braulioherrera8418 if you dont know just google it, kinda lame that you came on a video about touch typing to ask what touch typing is :/
Or. You can just practice regular typing, and be faster and make less mistakes. Why artificially restrict yourself because you are too lazy to take extra time learning a faster method?
u have alot of courage to come out and say that u cant type well. im proud :D
this isn't about sexuality it doesn't take that much courage
@@paper2222 What
Btw for anyone who is wondering firstly you really do not need all 5 fingers I can type at 100-130 wpm and I don't use my pinky for anything but the shift key. That's because the finger is weak and lacks mobility which makes it kinda unusable at high speeds. Also you don't actually need to use the "Correct typing position" for example again me I use one where my left hand hovers over wasd and moves from there and one where my right hand hovers over the entire right side of the keyboard. (I'm not recommending you use this but this is what worked for me.) Essentially find a position that is comfortable for you while still allowing you to access all of the keys. If you can do those two things it doesn't really matter where your hands are situated.
About the Qwerty layout explanation there is no good reason behind it really or the reason behind it is a relic of the past when key jamming was a thing if you want a layout that make sense(for english text) check out Dvorak.
Or Colemak.
-this post was made by the Colemak Collective (Dvorak is cool though)
There's always QGMLWY
I really like their program so far, Thanks for showing me!
Who else thought touch typing is typing by just *touching* the keys, rather than pressing them?
Lol me
Yeah, but touch typing i see there is actually 10-finger typing
Ye lol i still dont know what touch typing is 😂

@@NicksStuff oh ty!
It is actually really nice to see the expected progression in 30 days. From my experiences I can say that switching to a mechanical keyboard slowed me down, when compared to chiclet style on my mbp. But it is maybe influenced by the type of switches as well, idk. Also, I've heard that using a DVORAK layout will greatly improve the typing speed, if anyone have tried that it would be nice to know!
The problem with a different keyboard layout is that: good luck typing on any other machine than your own.
Dvorak is scientifically a little efficient in key placement but i don't think that will a significant difference
I've typed in Qwerty for past 2 years my average speed was 55 wpm
Last month I've switched to Dvorak and i average about 60 wpm
and i think the increase is purely because I've put more effort while learning
I used to type in DVORAK for half a year and my speed improved significantly. But i decided to go back to QWERTZ (i'm German) because i have to work on other peoples machines alot in my job and switching between Layouts all the time slowed me down in the end.
If you just use your own machines i think it's worth giving it a shot.
A few months ago, I found what is vim editor. It has enormous key bindings, you can't just scroll with your mouse and do click-clack. So with time, I started to use more and more fingers, to be able to use those motions, going from 1 mode to another, jumping between lines, files. Most important, in my opinion, is that by using your extra fingers when you type, increases speed of thoughts, which involves more work for left and right brain sides. Though, I feel like I'm literally switching sides of my brain when I try to reach some key with my ring/pinky fingers, LMAO.
even though I type faster I envy his progress. It took me years!
Fun fact: it's also related to your body posture on the chair. Try leaning you body more to the right side : you will notice you will start hitting the key at the right of the right key. Hehe
One of the best things that my older brother (Who was studying IT and coding at that time) teached me is how to type and place my fingers on the keyboard properly, when i was really young. So I never learned to typing in other than this way🙃
Now I average about 100-110 wpm, and I can hit 130-140 wpm if I press myself.
Yes, I enjoyed watching it; thank you for sharing it with us.
During this time I finally exceeded my 60wmp average and got my best ever score of 82wmp and it was sadly the proudest moment of my life. Definable the best thing that happened in 2020
Can I do it while having headphones in my ears?
I had learnt this skill back in college. This was four years ago. It was not easy. I was using an application called typing master. I gave up twice after completing 25% course, because I got frustrated because I kept making mistakes and my fingers were feeling uncomfortable, however in the third attempt, after restarting the course, I completed the course without giving up, and in 3 months, I completed all the keys.
I was reaching a mere 30-40 WPM. I was happy because now I was able to type without looking at the keyboard.
After practicing even more for a year, my speed reached 60 WPM. (Not hardcore practice, just typing casually)
Now 4 years after I learnt this, after using this skill at my workplace (even though my work does not involve much typing) I now reach up to 80 words per minute.
This is a very COOL skill, people are quite amazed, impressed when they see me typing, and they ask me how I do it. Lol.
Same but I can type around 110 wpm
That website is really good. I got to the letter r in 5 mins of practice :D
No typing fast don't make you a good programer ... It help you to save time
being a slow typer basically reduces your learning and programming rate, effectively making you a worse programmer relative to the time you put into it
typing fast means that you are not scared to test out small code snippets etc. If you have never worked with react, and want to quickly make a todo app, with fast typing(and faster shortcuts access), you could do it in say 2-3 hours. On the other hand, if you type slow this might take 6-8 hours. Now if you knew that a task would take 2-3 hours, you would be "more open" to experiment and therefore learn quickly.
using vim is more useful than using "touch typing"
They are not mutually exclusive :) Using Vim without touch typing will probably give some advantages, but you will never be able to 'Edit text at the speed of thought' as Drew Neil so eloquently puts it.
@@GGxodus Obviously they are not mutually exclusive but you're better off learning vim first.
I'm actually a professional typist, my fastest WPM is 152 wpm with 99% accuracy. I type for fun which is why I type so fast.
I'm literally starting highschool and I'm the fastest typist in my whole school since 6th grade imma have to say that learning to type is a big advantage when performing everyday things
That's pretty impressive. I was one of the slower types in each grade until I was in high school. I started practicing and made a lot of process. Now, my best is 118 wpm with like 104 wpm on average. Now, I went from being slower to being faster than a whole school.
I fell into mechanical keyboard hobby lately, also got my first laptop, so never had a great experience with typing on keyboard. Went from 13 wps to 80 on average in around 4 ish months, which is amazing. Like once you passed the 30 wpm line, you started accelerating onto 60 ish wpm and it starts to slow down
60 wpm is enough to chat, do assignment and shizz, so getting to 80 is just to feel good now 😫
I always wanted to have a look into that. This video was much more than I expected for an introduction. Cheers!
I'm a beginner at typing and I could type 'one trillion words in one minute' on day one itself
Is it just me or something in that sentence is off
Would that's actually be electronically possible?? Just a weird question lol
@@nl1575 _...And the new A13 chip can handle one trillion operations per second_
-Apple
Yeah, I think it may be possible on a powerful enough processor and some really lightweight OS.
Mean, obviously a human wouldn't, but if you manage to automatically insert a stupid amount of keystrokes...
Shroom2020 Oh dayummm that's acc mad, thanks for answering aswell 👍🏼
147wpm max typist here and I didn’t think typing was this big of a deal HAHAHAHA
same!!
my average is 92wpm lol i never really thought about it being a big of a deal or anything special
Quite fast here too. 😄 managed to record a 170 earlier
I hit 149 a bit ago but the problem is that I'm on laptop so if I try type racing and getting a higher score my arms start to ache 😔
kirrans yeah that’s normal ????
I got 120 wpm
Not sure where you got your facts from but the classic qwerty keyboard layout was designed to stop typewriters from jamming. World record typing speed is well above 600 wpm. And professional typists usually type above 150 wpm
15 Years of Online PC gaming taught me to type fast lol
for me it was 8 years, how fast do you currently type?
What website is this?
My reaction : 200ms
My reaction when the enemy dies:
1ms with 169 wpm spamming sh*t to him
true
Hi! You are so good after 30 day what I achieved after 4 months. Congratulations!
To typing pros out there, is 102wpm as my highest good for a 12 year old?
Im not a pro, but i can tell ur doing super great
Nice
I am 13 the highest i have gotten was 87 wpm it took me only 1 month to learn all of the keys and to get to that speed
Idk, but age has nothing to do with it. Anyways, 102 doesn’t seem bad
First test: 85 words per minute, not too bad i guess
me last test after 2 months of practicing 85wpm, not bad I guess.
@@aliweber3906 is 68wpm for a beginner with a not good method
(Spamming with index only) good?
I don't mean this in a bragging-way, but I am still kinda fascinated how I managed to teach myself the proper 10-finger typing without even knowing it. I always just typed a lot, and typed the way it felt most optimal to me. And it legit took me decades to realize that how I was typing was actually the 10-finger-system one is supposed to use. I always just heard of that and thought "I don't care to learn that, my typing is already fast enough" lol
Currently learning myself too, it's a lot harder than I thought. I am struggling to unlearn 30 years of hunting and pecking. I always considered my pecking to be fast though. I learnt using a kids website but will try the one in your video too.
Everyone: Over 100 wpm
Me: Ummm... 45wpm...
Just me?
...Ok
I am with you mate
My average right now is around 40 ish as well.
I’ve started typing properly for only 7 days and I’m up to 76wpm, hoping to get over 100 by the end of the month and steadily increase ~130
Me arround 25wpm :(
Mr. H Kusuma you could probably increase that to at least 50 by the end of the week. Just learn to type without looking and make sure you’re using all your fingers
I was told that to type fast and accurate, I'd have to type "properly" with my hands on the homerow, so I memorized where each key is so I can type "slowly" with my index/middle fingers fast, and type at around 100 wpm.
I watched this video in its entirety and was very impressed by how you were able to achieve a faster typing speed. I aspire to do this challenge because I will be starting my freshman year of college this fall and it would be amazing if I could pick up this skill. I have always disliked computers because I had bad experiences with speed and damage. Now that I have gotten an upgrade I hope that it will motivate me to learn touch typing. I hope I can reply to this comment in 30 days with progress!
"50 minutes per day" and "addict" don't correlate lol. I play a game for three hours a day and I'm plenty productive... Your outlook on time is weird to me
He's swedish bruh and got a score of 69 so...
Man, you really hit 70 wpm within only 30 days!!! That's insane... I took 4 months almost to do the same!
you have to do dedicated practice ...i have been touch typing for about 15 years and only get normally about 40 wpm, but I decided to Start Using Capitals , and upped my game and also scrubbed the letters from my keys. Now i am faster in a couple of weeks probably around 52 wpm and I also use CAPITALS.
congratulations!! going from two fingers to all fingers. 30 wpm - 60 wpm! great progress!! I can understand the feeling of getting it right and getting a better score. I fell into the same hole lmao! 30 minutes I said, 5 hours later.
"Typing fast is really a key component of being a good programmer" This is just wrong. It's like saying "Smoking a pipe is really a key component of being a good writer".
Just because some, maybe most, good programmers can type fairly fast, doesn't mean that's what makes them good. It's a correlation, not causation.
Typing fast comes either automatically with typing a lot, or you'll learn it, like you did in this video. Neither of both methods will help you writing clean code.
true.
we have autocomplete 🤷🏻♂️, unless your typing paragraphs in html lol.
That's true, but fast typing does *help* with coding in a way that smoking a pipe doesn't help you be a better writer so the point you're making is kinda dumb.
since i play games a lot and use the computer a lot, i generally learn typing fast and i learnt how to touch without even knowing what it is. im proud of my typing speed. in school i used to be the fastest typer cuz i used the pcs in school a lot
thank you man you have inspired me again to start to practice my typing again. I have already improved my typing
This gives me so much hope...
I got the idea from Atomic Habits to improve 1% when it comes to studying, and my choice was touch typing! It really has made a difference compared to how I was typing before, plus I find the practice really fun. I’d love to reach 100 WPM by the end of the year!
I just noticed he is using the same ducky one 2 SF keyboard that I am using at the moment, which has been my main keyboard ever since I picked up touch-typing. Good video though as always.
My mind process what I have to code faster than I type.
Because of that I sometimes forget what I was going to type.
Also I have to see the keyboard while typing.
My speed is 29wpm.
I've been checking out lessons for my daughter and came across this video. I type rather well, but could definitely use a refresher. Also, I happened to pick up an old IBM Model M recently for a 486 PC build I've been working on, and typing on that thing is like going back home again. I mention it because I can only presume more modern keyboards aren't made so much for typing well as they are for convenience, being lightweight and small, and production cost savings. Cheers.
you can get yourself a huntsman mini, that's like the best 60% keyboard out there (ducky comes in a close second imo) or if you don't mind the numpad, go for a tkl one, you'll see massive improvement in ergonomics and speed..
@@itszyzzbrah4469 Thanks. I'll check them out. Cheers.
the random layout was done to avoid extra fast typing which lead to break every keyboard at old times.
