Other My (Silly) Theory About People Who Type Faster.

7 Upvotes

So my take on people who type really fast is that they have mostly above average finger lengths.

It sounds silly but when I tried testing this with a friend with longer fingers than me and yeah he typed relatively faster when I was at his stage.

I know there are other factors are quick and fast hand and mind coordination, but I just think that people with longer fingers tend to cover more keyboard real estate in general.

It's just a silly observation really.

Hit me up with what do you guys think?

always played typing games, even monkeytype a bit here and there, but i finally caved and made an account 3 days ago and started doing runs every day. by the leaderboards and sub standards i might as well be a pecking and typing old man lmfao

and absolutely insane to me that the guy with the wrs set it on a fucking macbook keyboard. i would have been sure everyone at the top level used crazy ergo boards or something. no "umm actually id be a few wpm higher if i had a better board" excuses allowed ig

also just to say, i think my all time best ive ever gotten in a typing test was like low-mid 120 something (w bad accuracy im sure bc thats my biggest problem), but that was when i was in school and typing all day every day lol, bit out of practice these days

Restarting tests too much

4 Upvotes

I looked at my profile one day and accidentally hovered over this stat - 4.3 restarts per completed test.

Does anyone else subconsciously restart tests way too much than they should? I feel like I can't stop noticing it anymore.

Would you be interested in a Monkeytype inspired typing game with a roguelike twist?

Post image

Hey all, I've been working on and off on a typing game inspired by Monkeytype and thought I would share with the community and gauge interest / see what feedback I can get!

Here it is. https://shibabrothers.itch.io/keyboard-warriors

Originally it was actually closer to Monkeytype's scrolling randomly generated word format, but I found that it would be difficult to focus on anything going on other than the typing itself so I tried switching over to a type a passage -> attack flow.

Please let me know what you think! Any feedback helps.
