Speed?

I wear out keyboards due to my typing method, I don't use my one thumb to spacebar so my keyboard suffer for it. I can type fast, but sometimes I make a ton of error. X_X

Yes. :3 I think most of us are, really. However, I slow down and start making typos if people are watching. ;0;

Also, my fingers are used to the next-to-nothing key spacing of my laptop, so desktops with huge clunky keyboards slow me down. >__<

double that! I don't really slow down but I'm not THAT fast at first ^^;;

For this one, oppositely I'm faster at huge desktop keyboards. It's uncomfortable for me to use a laptop one to type.

Oh,but I was using desktop keyboard when I said to Marz 'Gekki' instead of 'Hello'.

I type around 70 wpm in English without errors and 120 or so in German. I haven't had to look at the keyboard to type in about 10 years or so.

Nope, and, I don't really care about writing at mach-3 speed. What's the rush? Where's the fire? I prefer to be writing more carefully rather than making a ton of mistakes (specially when I write at a foreign language)

Obviously, I'm the one who's always behind on msn, though... -o-

I like to think I'm decent - I don't know my exact WPM, but I know I'm not slow at all when it comes to typing.

I have the keyboard memorized, too, so I don't need to look at the keyboard that often and can even type at night with only the light of my monitor to go by. Though it does make for some interesting typos should I accidentally misplace my hands...

Actaully, it depends on my mood. I can type really fast but I also type with two fingers. Some people are amazed that I can type so fast with only two fingers as well. I never liked learning the formal way of typing because it was hard for me. I'm so used to typing my own way that its just my custom. o.o;

Depends, really. If I need to write rapid fire or the words are just coming that fast, I was last tested at 88 WPM without error. I don't know how fast I can go if you count in an occasional typo or two. It also depends on what I'm typing. If it has tricky keys, I'll have to slow down, but if I'm not having to do much with the far sides of the bottom row, then I'm usually good.

Migraines slow me down and make me write gibberish even I can't figure out later on. =p

It always surprises me when I meet people who can't type without looking -- it trips me up, but some of the people I've met can't type for crap if they don't. When I was a kid, I loved to write, and got a hand-me-down laptop from, like, 97 or older. It had no internet and there was only one extra program on it: Mariam Webster's Typing. It played Beethoven's 9th in digital beeps whenever you made a typo (and over one another if you made multiple mistakes), so you learned the basics quick. ._.

Yeah I type real fast. I don't look at the keyboard when I type, I usually look at the screen to see what it is I'm typing, that way I know if I made a typo or not. I can also type very well without looking at the screen or keyboard, but the chances of typoing increase but a lot.

I'm getting there.

I'm quite fast but sometimes make a few typos.

I can't do it without looking. [I might train that]

I can type fairly fast. At my school we have typing tests, and my record is 98 words per minute, 100% accuracy. The highest at my school. yay! I don't look at the keyboard, and I'm slow at these: !@#$%^&*().

I can type okay but not amazingly fast. It's called touch-typing guys, for those who didn't know. My average speed is about 65 WPM, which kind of sucks. Just google typing speed test.

I'm not really fast but i'm not slow.

I'm reasonably fast on a keyboard, especially when I know exactly what I have to type down. But if I have no idea what I'm meant to be typing, then it takes longer with the added thinking time.

I try to make my friends IRL jealous because I can touch type and they can't. But when they're looking at me, or putting pressure on me, I tend to type REALLY fast, but it all repeats itself over and over. Then I just edit my work when I get home. XD

Typing fast also used to bring up the issue of speed posting for me...

omgwtfbbqwaffles. YES! I guess I can type without lookin..
