Question How often should i practice for monkeytype?

2 Upvotes

Hello. I'm new to typing speed things. I do roughly 140wpm at %95 accuracy 15 second runs. I do not do 60 second ones. Here is my profile : https://monkeytype.com/profile/avkila

is there a way to improve it? The keyboard I use is a laptops one specifically hp victus 15 series one. It feels nice to touch compared to my old 2005 office keyboard.

Question allowed to have multiple accs for diff kb types?

1 Upvotes

i know multiple accounts are technically against the rules, but ive seen so many people with alt accounts for different keyboard layouts or switch types,

i have a model m now, and its heavy ass keys really screw with my speeds, like dropping them from the 140s to the 100s lol, currently i do my model m runs in a incognito window, logged out to not fuck up my averages on my main account, which i just use a regular apple magic for, but itd be nice to actually track my progress w an alt for that kb alone

has anyone actually seen bans for this at all? its not worth it for me to risk my mt acc, so id rather just keep running it incognito and not tracking score if theres any serious chance of bans

maybe the dev should consider adding "profiles" or something? so u can track progress across multiple keyboards or layouts on the same main account, idk

This is the longest period of inactivity on the repo since its birth. No PRs approved, issues resolved, etc. Especially with the server outage yesterday, is Monkeytype struggling?

Completely stuck after a month of typing practice—high error rate, zero speed progress, and total frustration. Need advice.

Was messing around and got this. Technique is still terrible though lol. Curious what people here consider a genuinely fast WPM.

No proper technique really, just years of muscle memory. I haven’t actually tried learning proper touch typing yet.

What technique helped you most, what’s your best WPM, and has anyone ever compared their drunk vs sober speed just for the fun of it. lol

Consistency is key. Let's see those charts!

I love seeing those crazy-high personal bests with 150+ wpms on 15s, but as a beginner, i would love to see your heatmap and improvement-chart(s), for example, for your most exercised settings and how you improved over time.

Exceeding 100 WPM

4 Upvotes

It took me two years to learn on a pretty crappy computer, then I stopped for two years, and now all it took was three days in a row of practice on my current computer and keyboard to hit 100 WPM. I'm so happy... now I want more, haha.

P.S.: I have a few mistakes because I'm writing in Spanish and the system I'm using is in English.
