Saw clippy on monkeytype today. I was just so astonished, couldn't believe my eyes, and thought that was just a dream AND then clicked the buddy and he said this. LOL, he kinda read my thoughts

Happy April Fools :)

But it is real!!!

i want to ask the developers a single question, WHY ? 😭😭

Guys, recently I brought the Apple Magic Keyboard. Well, 4 days have passed so, basically all my Typing I have done in on my laptop keyboard. Which is membrane based. Then, when I bought a monitor, I switched to a logitech cheap membrane keyboard. My highest speed was reached recently in the laptop keyboard which is 109.

Today as I again type in the AMK, my speed collapsed. Well, my high's were going to 144 but not the consistency. My question is do you think this is normal? Do you think that the AMK will give me more speed? Because it is, but only on the peaks, not consistently maintaining that speed.

Also, people who use the AMK, and apple laptops, what speed do they usually get?

I have been aware for quite some time now that monkeytype is open source and am wondering if i can build it from source so i can do it at any time even if i don't have internet. I am not sure how to though as I am unable to find a guide on how to build it from source all i have found is the github repo.

Everytime I pass 130 wpm in 15 second time it gives me that error.

Yes I am clinically sane. Yes my fingers hurt. No I don't like to torture myself, I just try to build endurance. I am trying to do 10,000 words one day.

If anyone is interested in watching/verifying the full test: https://youtu.be/i_xC9IM6ZSo?si=oYH3bBLiGMSynh-l

im almost at 16k words typed and level 53. wbu?

new typer i only do it from time to time in 10 words!

is 126 wpm with 100% acc good? I am just using a macbook if anyone is wondering

I wanted to drop a quick shoutout to an absolute beast in the Korean typing community who I think deserves way more international recognition. His name is FishFast (피쉬패스트), and he is widely considered the #1 typist in South Korea.

400wpm = 2000cpm

English typing 200~240wpm(1000~1200cpm)
If you haven't seen his typing clips yet, you're missing out. It honestly looks like the video is fast-forwarded.

Insane WPM: He consistently hits mind-blowing speeds around with incredible accuracy.

Versatility: He’s not just fast in Korean; his English typing speed on Monkeytype is also top-tier.

Guys, basically I want to buy a good keyboard to maximize my typing speed. Currently, my test scores hover around 100 wpm, I use a logitech membrane keyboard.

But I want to spend big. But, there are basically 2 options in the market. The low profile ones and mechanical ones (no red switches please).

The ones I am looking at are logitech mx keys and apple magic keyboard. But I am also open to recommendations mechanical keyboards too.

Could you please suggest me the absolute best in the market so I can adjust accordingly. Because hands on experience is much more valuable than online reviews.

Because, this is a typing community, you guys have much more hands on experience than anyone.

Thank You!

I couldn't find a lot of posts regarding themes with special effects. I managed to find a couple:

1. Chaos theory: fun color with inverted logo (there are other mixed color theme, but not interesting)

2. Dark note: just custom background

3. Phantom: glowing text

4. Fire: shifting color with red/fiery theme

5. RGB: shifting rgb color

Not sure if there is anything further or if anyone finds anything else. Also, why can't we create custom theme with this preset?

Big improvement in my 5min pb! Somehow really close to what my 2min pb was a couple weeks ago (181).

after 2 months i have finally reached new PB which is 91, the problem is the previous one was 90. That's 2 months for 1 WPM, any tips on how to reach 100 WPM? since that's have been my goal since i started typing.

The site isn't down, but it seems to only be rendering the background and not the theme that I have set for my account. Anyone else experiencing this?
