50 words per minute for me with 0 errors. I never was taught how to proper type when I was a kid lmao
Actually, typing properly is a terrible way to type and is incredibly slow, but there is no way to "teach" typing without it being that way.
The homerow system is very inefficient in the same way that playing ddr by moving your feet back to the center is inefficient. If you type without doing that and just leave your fingers where they are and move them to the next closest key your typing speed will increase.
111, no errors. I'm extremely familiar with typing tests, games, races and I've never loved the makeup of this test. It's easy and common words yes, but random and so there is much less natural flow. Needless to say, it's not an accurate measure of your typing speed.
But it is fun. I switched to Dvorak layout about 3 and a half months ago and I've almost reached my old QWERTY speed, and typing has never felt more natural. I have difficulty typing with QWERTY now, though no trouble on my phone.
btdubs to the above post, homerow system for QWERTY isn't good, you're right. People develop their own touch typing styles for it, which is one of many reasons I first started searching for alternative layouts and ALWAYS encourage others to.
If you're really interested in alternative layouts, start by learning about Dvorak and Colemak.
Looking at the Dvorak and Colemak layouts seems mind-boggling, although I can see how they would ultimately affect typing speed with swaying the amount of work done by just one hand.
