instructions unclear, ended up playing the piano in a typing contest.
Lol
Homerow method is wrong which method we have to follow?
@@justworkfine321 homerow method is a good starting point, just tune it up to your needs as you learn. Or just look up a hand layout on yt lol but yea everyone would have their own preferences and you gotta find one that works best for you
I completely agree with Eiko - before I competed, I took a really hot shower and then got under some blankets and stuff. this is truly the sweatiest "sport"
Yeah, out of all the things said in this video that's the one that I have noticed makes a big difference for me.
lol I have never tried this before but I have noticed that I perform slightly better when warmed up like that
I type worse after showers, no question.
@@grdfhrghrggrtwqqu Interesting
Woah never expected you here. Welp i tried Dvorak and i sucked, but still #NothisisJhon
this is very inspirational ✨
i like the way:
izzy talked about: using random fingers for same keys
Thanks for highlights :)
The amount of bullshit in this comment
why you just don't say you liked the whole video long story short
Learning how to touch type (type properly) at 47. It's actually quite fun and rewarding.
For me, my tips are to read ahead and focus on accuracy
Good tips
I started reading ahead and managed to type 111 wpm today (old record was 109).
It really does help as you get faster
Just started to type "properly" using the home row method and I'm at 10 wpm lol
😂
Damn brow, the international system counts a "word" in 5 letters. That means you can type 50 letters within a minute 😳
dont worry i started at 15 to 20 wpm when i started typing properly using the home row method but now im at 35 - 40 wpm average keep going
I bet you are atleast at 30 wpm by now right?
i started typing properly three weeks ago or somethin today i am at atleast 35 wpm and max at 40. aiming for 40 wpm average by next week
For me, I'm not a fast typist, but room temperature really affects my typing speed and also accuracy.
Same here
Yeah I too observed this and always try to be warm before typing
I want to go deep and say that psychological comfort affect ur typing speed / accuracy
taking deep breath and trying to control your breath and stress while facing complicated words is the most important and basic thing .
I'm not that fast as them my max speed is at 110wpm only.. normal speed is 85+wpm, and fast speed 90-100+wpm. My speed improves when I let my subconscious mind do the typing and reading, not my conscious mind. Because everytime I consciously do the typing I ended up making mistakes because i became conscious of what I do. So I listen to lyrical music where my conscious mind can wander or I just daydream for distraction.. it helps my accuracy. Hope this make sense.
It makes total sense, and same here. If I'm distracted, I type a lot faster and more accurately than I do if I'm concentrating on it.
Lol I'm at 20wpm
I can only average 70 wpm, I guess I need to keep practicing
Same pinch bro, that feeling is just too awsome, its like day dreaming or watching my body doing the chores from a soul's pov.
100% relate to that first tip. Cold hands and fingers definitely slow down my typing speed a lot and causes me to make more mistakes.
For my personal experience as a typist, there are two ultimate ways to improve fast typing skills: (1) Put rest your fingers at the home keys. Once you start, you can easily type the other keys correctly and almost no error. (2) Do not look at the keyboard almost at all times during typing. That will boost your confidence in fast typing. You cannot quickly type if you look at the keyboard then to the computer screen and keyboard again, just to make sure that you are typing the right keys.
That was really interesting from all the typists! I think it was great for Das to interview them, I wonder why you posted this on this channel though, and not the UTC channel??
The UTC is a competition for the top tier typists in the world, while Das Keyboard has always provided work, productivity and typing tips for people at all levels!
@@daskeyboard Ah okay, it makes sense.
I've no idea what Vielle was saying, but great tips overall :)
What a gem, thanks a lot for the video and the editing/animations :D
Thank you Jashe, we hope to see you at the next event!
@@daskeyboard hehe, maybe :)
paraphrased understanding of vielle’s response:
“i would’ve placed first, had i only changed my typing style a bit because that adds up (makes an impact) over time. some people get an over-reliance on their index fingers, as opposed to their other fingers. with some fast typists, you’ll see them moving their hands a lot; what’s happening there is that they’re actually just moving their index fingers, and the rest of the fingers just kinda follow along, thereby giving more authority to their other fingers. that’s why some pianists transfer pretty well to mechanical typing, and maybe have better habits. so that’s something that i’d say might’ve been my observation, or my key to success in the competition.” :)
personally, i feel like i get the gist of what he’s saying, but wrapping my head around that concept is a little bit difficult so im interested to observe his style some more and see how that idea plays out physically.
@@znbh Thanks a lot! :)
@@znbh thx
Cool seeing ppl that are involved in the community be in RUclips videos like this.
OMG YES, im fixing my bad pecking habits with home row at the moment and i’ve gotten to a point, where i’ve developed new habits where i would sometimes use different fingers for keys that are close to each other. Im glad to get approval by them that is is more efficient then traditional homerow
I’ve never learned to type the home row method. Since I was young I ignored the things my teacher taught me on how to properly type. I made my own method of typing and it isn’t index fingers or hunt and pec, etc. It’s just a style that I felt comfortable with and by now I’m pretty good at it and my personal best wpm is 115. I feel like accuracy is a big thing I need to focus on as well.
You are just like me when I type I always ignored the way they typed because it was uncomfortable and makes my hand sweat so often but I have gotten way faster even with the way I type
Honestly none of the top typists use like full home row
I want to learn it
@@andrewzhang8512 Come what do you mean....they of course do
Maybe they've made slight modifications according to their aesthetics, but basic principle won't change
@@MikeJohnMentzer buddy they literally dont man
Pretty nice video, you earned a new sub
I think clearing your headspace is the best thing to do. I’ve been trying to make myself type faster over the course of about two weeks. I started out 45-55 wpm. Now I’m at 80wpm as I finally hit that I had realized I was thinking I was just doing.
thank your guys very much, that really helped alot.
So, I am wearing five coats in a heated room in summer, still 38wpm hmmmmmmm
how much warmer should it be for 150wpm?
hm maybe try wearing gloves to make it warmer
@@joemacaraeg2522 Yeah, good idea. I heard boxing gloves are the warmest!
Get 5 mini space heaters the more heat the better.
@Sh1nobie r/whoooosh lolzzzzz
@@sifatullahrafy7779 r/ihavereddit
I agree with Eiko....anytime I'm in a room with the AC on my fingers ending up getting stiff so it's not able to move as fast and I end up making more mistakes.
I think the concept of the "home row" is a place to start for beginning typists in order to learn the placement of the keys. I rarely set my fingers on the home row anymore, except for when I'm taking a break to compose a thought. If I'm typing copy that I'm reading from a printed or handwritten page, my fingers never stop moving. But then again, I taught myself how to type when I was 8 years old on my grandmother's manual typewriter.
Do your hands move and hover over the keyboard, or do you generally keep your hand positions the same while typing?
@@daskeyboard My hands move and hover over the keyboard. I do find that the 6,T,G,B row and the 7,Y,H,N row is the cutoff between what keys I'll press with my left hand and right hand, which is definitely a product of having learned "touch typing."
If I consciously think about it my fingers will be in the home row. Once I start typing and I’m no longer actually thinking about typing I’m pretty sure that my hands are actually adaptively hovering near the home row position. Then my fingers aren’t really resting on the surface of the keyboard, but my fingers touch the keys mostly only when pressing keys.
y'all kinda forgetting Dvorak exists frfr
I just started mechanography and the thing he said about the Y letter I found myself doing. Also with letter B and other ones. It surprised me because It was just si natural for me to do that for speed.
Moral of the story: don't use "home row" standard taught positioning. Instead, put your fingers wherever the flip you want so you can type faster!
"How can I learn the other technique?"
"Oh there are no rules, just type fast."
You should learn home row before branching out to your own style
aggred@@aleks-lj9yq
Appreciate the video, plus the graphics but, I can see anything that will work for me... Thank you
3:55 if I have fingers like that I would be typing and playing piano all day lol
Last tips was the really good one.
Aiming for at least 98% accuracy every time have really gained me huge result just within a month. Able to do 100wpm on more regular basis than just a once in a blue moon occurrence. Accuracy should be the top priority if you really want to type faster and be actually applied irl day to day typing tasks and not just for races. Speed should be a byproduct of typing very efficiently.

every single mechanical keyboard enthusiast: ON MY WAY
I run hot and can’t stand warm rooms. I game in ~60f or 17c.
Thank you very much for your awesome videos!!!!
My issue is that when I'm not looking the keyboard, I'm writing gibberish.
My question is on how to learn to not look the keyboard and know what letter I'm typing.
Then my speed will start increasing hopefully
Great job
I've started up again with the home row method, because I noticed I almost didn't use my pinky and ringfingers... One thing I've now learned is to use the left shift key waaaay more, which makes my right hand much faster and it doesn't have to contort itself so much anymore to get the shift key AND the + sign for example. After relearning to use ALL my fingers, I see myself switching back to a more fluid (non-home row) style of typing though.
Were they chilly?
I am struggling with the hitting letters with different fingers and I notice how I make more mistakes when I don't do it. It's pretty easy to press the letter c with the index in a word like "because" and the middle finger for other words but I have a difficult time with the combination of L and O as in the word "follow". I try to use the ring finger for the O and the pinky for the L but it feels really unnatural and I have to move my hand a lot. What fingers are you using for this combination?
1:27 Finally a person who agrees with my. The home row method is terrible. Having your fingers rest in one place making akward movements to keys near you just doesnt feel right.
Do you think slowing down to type properly is worth it? Given that this method will later pay off. I can type 80 wps in my way but 40wps with the proper method
Now that's cool. Really cool
Where can I watch the full video of what they are saying?
homerow method emphasizes to use the middle finger to type C. HOwever, many words have an E or an R after it which makes it very awkward to use the index finger to type and may actually slow you down.
Good tips of typing
i am no competitive typer but one thing that kind of got me into a faster typing style was taping a piece of paper over my keyboard and typing out my notes for class. and typer shark, actually.
I have noticed that with using QWERTY, that with some word combinations my fingers don't want to press certain keys, cause it ends up feeling very uncomfortable and it really screws with my accuracy/speed a lot of the time, even though I know what fingers should press what keys without looking, it's gotten to the point where I almost want to give up on QWERTY, cause I've been doing this for a long time now with little to no improvement.
I agree with chak, When I type, I don't use home row the way I was taught, I don't always stay on home row, for example when typing home row, I type home, and now my left middle finger is on e and my right index is on m and my right ring finger is on o so then my left hand is tilted towards r and w, I am no longer on the home row, I then adjust from there.
I live in India. It is always hot in here and I still do only 65 wpm
Typing.com can help. I went back to the website to do the exercises. It help me to improve. I was at 85 wpm. Now I'm at 93 wpm and got to 103 wpm but I had to warm up in order to get 103
For me warm or not it's a just placebo, if you feel better in A certain temp.
I really like the Das Keyboard 4 Professional, it is the best keyboard that I have bought for work and home. 👍
Good choice!
What keyboard does Anthony Chak use?
what I really think helps is accuracy because if you aren't accurate then you will press backspace a million times which just strains your hand
I usually use keyboard short cuts, for example, control backspace(option instead of control on mac) and my ring finger for the backspace
if you practice a lot on websites, that can also help, and writing stories can help
however if you just typed really fast your heart is probably beating so you should not try to type again until you have waited a few minutes
if you take my advice you could achieve a top speed of 161 wpm like me
i always get relatively high wpm during school breaks lmfao. its pressuring me to do the tests quickly i think. just hit 100 wpm (my new pb) a few hours ago during class.
1:30 I also don't do home row keys. It's comfortable and annoying for me. Thank you Sean for confirming this!
Edit: Chakk confirmed it too. That's really nice 😊
so how did you learn typing ??
@@rishabhpasi98 You only use home row keys when learning touch typing. But when you are already speeding up, there's no need to.
@@randomshadow4620 ok
so what typing technique is the best than? I thought touch typing/home row keys is the fastest and best way
@@nekura for me I just learned dvorak, there you can use the home row and be all happy
Before I watch the whole thing can someone tell me if this is for slow typers to start or for intermediate typers to improve?
:O amazing tips
Very good tips for learning typists. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Hello I have a question, so I type with my arms pretty straight with my keyboard far away from me on my table. Should I use it closer to me to improve my speed?
SleepingTurtleYT As long as your current position is comfortable and it wont hurt your hands/wrists when typing for long periods of time.
LeSirH ok cool. I think I just overthink it if I can’t type as fast as I’d like and instead of getting better I worry. Thx
vielle is representing the nitro typers
Accuracy should be 100% to get max speed even if you have to slow down, comrades
True I always had 95% accuracy with a 80wpm but when I worked on accuracy I hit 110wpm
@@shabbirabbas5720 try getting higher. 95% is still not that bad. When you type slowly with no mistakes vs fast with mistakes you'll definitely see the difference. My aim is to get 97%-100% accuracy when typing.
4th place cathy says the keyboard shouldn't affect your abilitie a significant amount in my case membrane to mechanical increased me by maybe 10 to 15wpm
My keys are hard to use. What should i do to soft these??
i agree with the champion. Accuraccy is EVERYTHING.
Just religiously hammer the accuracy into your brain and fingers and you can go however the f*** fast you want.
Try to aim for at least 98% when you are typing over 100 words. 96% is acceptable. Any lower, try to improve your accuracy. And trust me. It's all worth it.
Sean Wrona speaks the truth.
I've learned that typing each letter rather than words works good for me
you need to touch when you type
Yes, indeed!
When chak was talking about finger placement it it showed the illustration of left hand on what seemed like on q, w, e, r and right on h, j, i, o. Is that his finger placement or just an example?
That animation was just an example, not necessarily to be specific on keys to start with.
@@daskeyboard He was talking about setting your fingers up for the next word, if you keep your placement on the same keys then it will be harder to adapt.
Does anyone knows these typers channel name
Their social media handles (if they have accounts) are in the quotations, although a few of them have multiple profile names.
If you want to type faster just type how you can. This is the secret. When i started i dıd not follow any rule and now my typing speed is 100wmp. And type everyday minimum 30 minutes.
How long did it take you? I type alot more than you do and have been for last few years due to job being in IT and prior to this (even though I'm 23), but my wpm is probably only 40, with no improvement. I make alot of mistakes and have been over the years so then i have now gone to learning the home row method to learn the keyboard to not make them mistakes, but I am not sure the home row method even though it gives accuracy your hands feel weird and constraint/ restricted. I just don't know how to improve if i use my own method i make mistakes even though I shouldn't be since for last probably 8 years I've been typing like daily. I don't know what it is I really want to improve the other week I spent around probs 2 and half hour and other days 1 and half hours like every day or so to learn the home row. I need guidance i found your comment interesting about typing normal way, but then how shall I remove my mistakes ?
Ok an update o didn't give up and now I am making much less mistakes, my fingers don't feel uncomfortable either typing with 10 fingers. It's like at first I was spreading ice cold button on a bread price and my fingers were the bread that was breaking up due to the residence. Now it feels more like the butter is warmer and my bread and fingers are moving with it.
My biggest lesson to everyone is if your using these websites the most important is don't do 2 hours and then stop and forever. Carry on to 5 hours and you will definitely see the difference. Now my wpm is still around 25 to 30 but on the keybr website i am hitting 40 plus, and have unlocked half the keyboard. Another important thing don't rely on one website if you lose focus or start to do bad go onto type racer and have a race and come back or use nitro type or money type which is really good just type a paragraph and come back you don't need to unlock all fingers just think and type you will make it easier for yourself in the future when unlocking new fingers. I will continue to update you but yes don't lose hope after first 3 hours after that is when the critical time starts.
My tip on typeracer is to ctrl c the hardest word in the text and ctrl v when it gets to it :)
That's just cheating
The only reason we have the home row and QWERTY - it was to slow people down . Typewriters were once mechanical and 60 wpm was about the limit for them
Home row is very effective but just not for QWERTY.
Quite helpful, but I just want to improve my everyday typing. I'm not joining competitions or such. The comment about the keys in the center was a little bit helpful, though.
i agree with sean
I'm confused about using my pinky fingers, should I keep practice with them or just don't even try, because pinky fingers don't make much of a difference?
I agree with Kathy and Sean Colemak and Dvorak are way better for homerow and I had an old 2011 keyboard and I typed the same speed.
i agree on first place person
Sean wrona is my idol
I feel like I’m hearing a funeral speech in the beginning
Can you teach me how to start being faster like you
wow, this makes me want to be typist haha.
Great

I can confirm that body temperature is true. Currently my fingers are freezing cold and I'm typing around 90 words per minute with terrible accuracy. On a warm day I've typed 145 per minute. Homerow just helps you learn how to touch type, however.
me who used to use the same hand layout and switched to home layout: fuck.
Personally, I started the hobby of speedtyping on a chromebook keybboard with impossibly flat keys, so typing on mechnical keyboards is really hard for me and slows down my accuracy by like 10 percent, I wish I started on a mechanical keyboard😥
It will transfer over easily. Get a mechanical keyboard and stop wasting your time.

practice a lot
Ik I’m really late but I use home row method but instead I use:
Left index for; f, g, h, c, v, r and t.
Left middle for; e, d, x and r.
Left ring for; w,s and z.
Left pinky for; a, caps and q.
Right index; u, y, m, n, j and h
Right middle; I, k and ,
Right ring; o, l, . and occasionally p
Right pinky; ;, / and occasionally p
I also think the home row method is wrong because the human pinky can’t reach that far.
Oh yeah and also either thumb is used for space bar.
why does sean look like he's on the fbi most wanted lmao
My tip:
Let’s say you have a bad pinky that has a long Nail, it’s weak, whatever. You might complain that you do not like using your pinky. You do not have to use your pinky, you should adapt your typing style to be best for speed, accuracy, and comfort.
Eiko said a right thing, I always felt, but I never realized that, When I feel very warm, then, I can type a bit faster, but when I feel cold or normal then my performance gets a bit slow.
it's the same with me
So many great typers there, and only two advanced advices.
i can type 481 wpm with 2 % accuracy
What were their typing speeds? It would’ve been great if you included it in their banner.
This would be relative, because there were some very challenging texts where WPM speeds were very slow, but you can review all their speeds here: ultimatetypingchampionship.com/archive-2020

wth did brandon "vielle" vielle say...?
im practicing a lot but not improving
focus on accuracy speed will follow
when aia try to move my ring finger , middle finger also moves
35 wpm 98% accuracy

that was me but for like 100 wpm, and when i finally got it and i just quit and naturally got faster
