Putty Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have a MS Ergonomic keyboard...I can not type on a standard keyboard for shit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have an Ergonomic keyboard at work and a normal one at home. My hands are on the home row keys and I never look at the keyboard to type. I type at least 70 words per minute without a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 i can type pretty fast but have never been taught the home row shit. i feel i would be faster if i did though. It is easy. Put your left hand on asdf and right hand on jkl; Now almost every key on the keyboard is 1-2 keys away. You just need to remember where all the keys live.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Typing was the most useful class I ever took in high school. I don't look, I use the home row, and I feel I'm pretty fast if I need to be. Funny thing is, if you asked me to draw out a picture of a keyboard with all the letters in the correct spot, I couldn't. But for some reason my 'hands' seem to know exactly which key to go to in order to spell out what I'm thinking. It's odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I "hunt and peck" and can type 80+ WPM since I've memorized the layout of the keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I am a self taught speed typer. I do not use the home row, and my fingers all all over the place. I do not have to look, even at the screen, and can tell by feel when I have mistyped something. But I type all day long. Yay Cisco IOS.

Scotty2Hotty Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm maybe 50-60 WPM if I'm lucky. I tend not to look too hard, unless I'm hungover and hate life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I can type w/out looking but when I realize i'm flowing and have not looked down in a while. I think about it and mess up. No home row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I miss having an ergonomic keyboard. I can't even find one I like, I'm a Nazi when it comes to keyboards. These days all you can find is the media (read: retard) keyboards. The one I'm using right how has a refresh button directly above F5. Fail.

verse Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Typing was the most useful class I ever took in high school. I don't look, I use the home row, and I feel I'm pretty fast if I need to be. Yeah I agree. I used to be able to type like 100WPM when I took keyboarding class and was a huge nerd, but now I'm probably down to 75WPM. Some of the hillbilly kids would buy me lunch b/c I'd do all the exercises and then save them to the network so they could just copy and paste. I'm sure I helped 2-3 people pass that class.

Skinner Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I use home row and for the most part type without looking but look down from time to time. (habit I guess). For some reason the hardest thing for me to do is to type something out that I am reading off a piece of paper. When typing freestyle (for lack of a better term) I am able to type much faster and with less errors. Having dyslexia doesn't help as I tend to look at the letters in the middle of the word and work my way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 70-80 wpm but I can circle strafe and rocket jump like a king.... If you can keep up with me, out trick jump me in Quake3 then I'll give you the right to be called king I think last test I took in keyboarding I was around 104WPM and then a year or two ago I took another online keyboarding test to see if I was any slower and I came up with 114WPM. EDIT* I'm even typing 70+WPM on my iPhone.. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01sentrase2.0 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 i type using the home row and do pretty well without looking at the keyboard. sometimes i don't even look at the screen. my hands know when i typed something wrong and i use the backspace key and fix it.
