I used to type at about 45 WPM.
Then I switched to Dvorak, the Kinesis Advantage keyboard, and learned to touch type.
I now average 90 WPM on Typeracer and peak at around 115 WPM.
- patsall 8y agoSame here -- I jumped from about 70 on Qwerty to about 130 on Dvorak. I think it's almost entirely due to the fact that I now type "correctly", rather than anything great about Dvorak. (I don't really recommend switching to other people, but I don't have the motivation to move back.)
- theonemind 8y agoI used to type about 120 wpm. I switched to Dvorak, and never fully regained that speed. I can type perhaps 90-100 if I really push it. However, I saw references to difficulty regaining your full speed after switching if you already typed fast, so I knew that beforehand. I switched for ergonomics, not for speed. I also type fast enough for my purposes, so I never deliberately trained to regain all of my speed. Just a minor note, if you already type quickly, the transition can take some speed off unless you actually want to deliberately train to make sure you regain all of your speed.
