Just a fun thread for a Friday afternoon.
Most of us spend a significant percentage of our waking hours typing away on our keyboards. But how fas...

A coworker once mocked me for not doing 10-finger typing.
I told him I was thinking faster so I could type more slowly.
He never mentioned my typing again.
And his frantic keyboard hacking slowed down considerably... ;)
Quite alright, and pretty damn accurate if I say so myself (best out of 3)
Had one more go after my coffee: WPM 103, accuracy: 100% 🎉. I'm not sure why I care so much.
Phew, I really tried hard here!
I have an external keyboard (Kinesis Freestyle 2), but I haven't unpacked it yet since moving.
I don't know about you guys, but I am really inefficient with my fingers. I mostly use my two indexes, sometimes my left thumb will hit space, sometimes it's my right index on the space bar. My pinky is always on the MAJ key. Sometimes, I'll go absolutely nuts and type something using my other fingers, but it's oh so rare.
Not that it really matters to write code but I suppose that slows me down if I tried to be as fast as possible.
I figured I'd break the ice by representing the not-so-fast typers out there:
I have always been a slow, inaccurate typist (with terrible form). Fortunately I write mostly Java in IntelliJ these days which means I don't really have to type all that much :D
A person's typing speed is generally measured in words per minute (WPM). There is no definitive answer to the question of what qualifies as a "fast" typing speed, as it can vary depending on factors such as the individual's occupation, age, and level of experience. That said, a study from 2018 found that the average typing speed among all adults was 36.6 WPM.
There are a number of ways to improve one's typing speed. For beginners, mastering the proper technique is key - this means posture, grip, and finger placement should be optimized for comfort and efficiency. Once the basics have been mastered, practice makes perfect - lots of typing practice will obviously lead to an increase inspeed.

I had to post before @jess , because she's the fastest typer on the team. 🤓
I think I'm old and can no longer go past 115 😔
Keyboard: Vortex Race 3, Cherry MX Clear
Edit:
I think I do some sort of...
6 - 7 1/2fingers typing style.^^Looks like with my typing style I could achieve something pushing a little hard on my French words
Not bad for someone which doesn't type with 10 fingers ^^'
97 WPM with 95% efficiency (only one wrong word). On a good day, I can clock up to 115...but not today.
I've got an old Apple Pro external keyboard that I've been using forever (connected to my Linux Toshiba Thinkpad).
Plain old QWERTY here. :3
My best out of 3 tries.
I think I'm decent! 81 WPM. Keyboard: Apple Keyboard wireless.

114, 98% :D
Er. Laptop, and qwerty!
how can mesure it ?
I can type between 7000 and 30000 per day on keyboard hook.

I wrote a small post on how to create a webpage page using js to measure the typing speed in wpm.
71 WPM, 90% accuracy, which i thought was pretty good until I saw the rest of you.
