How fast can you type?

[MSTER232]

No the ones that have to accommodate both German and french. They have crappy little backspace keys that are nearly impossible to hit.

I think the whole point of typing really fast is to not use the backspace button. But anyways, how small is small? Get a picture if you can....

43, with 3 mistakes. It's good enough for me.

It is the same size as any of the number keys in that row. Generally the result of an ISO Return key, which is two rows tall, so the \ key is moved up to the number row.

I don't know whether I'm a fast typist or not because I haven't tested myself in a task. But I bet I become a better typist when it comes to type letters in Roman alphabets than I do in Japanese.

Yes. One of my keyboards has that style of backspace, towards the bottom left in this picture...

29wpm with 3 mistakes. Shows how much I did not care about touch typing in middle school. So yes I use my index fingers for the letter keys, my ring finger on the right hand for the right shift key, my middle finger on the right hand for the backspace, and the left hand thumb and/or the right hand index finger for the spacebar(use the thumb more often though). I'm using a Logitech K360 if anyone wanted to know.

39 wpm on one hand. Though the test is only testing how fast you can copy down a section of a book.. In reality, when I'm typing what I want to type. I'm much faster.

Now I know how you feel; that's one of the smallest backspace keys I have ever seen in my whole life. But on my keyboard, that's the size of the left-hand shift button. Good thing that the QWERTY keyboard has a left-hand bias, and therefore I would probably type more capital letters with the left hand, using the right-hand shift button. And to those that failed to spot the keyboard with the really small backspace key, it's the keyboard that's directly above the DELL keyboard.

For those that still care, I stumbled upon a better typing test: http://speedtest.10fastfingers.com/

It start when you begin typing and ends automatically after one minute.

On a 13-inch, Mid 2011 MacBook Air:

Words per minute: 103
Keystrokes: 534
Correct words: 97
Wrong words: 2

I type fast enough for my purposes.
