The vast majority of people IMO don't need to type very fast. Only people whose sole job is to write(fiction writers, bloggers, etc). For developers there's always intellisense and text expansion anyhow I can comfortable type for 10 hours straight on average 45 WPM continously (I've tested this already), anything more than that just seems like overkill. The fastest I can type at high accuracy is about 90 WPM, but I can't maintain it for more than an hour. I own a mechanical keyboard on a qwerty layout But I also used to play competitive starcraft and my APM (actions per minute) would hit roughly 250 to 300, roughly at the same level as top korean players. It becomes incredibly stressful to maintain that level though. I don't understand how people are typing at 120 WPM or higher with high accuracy though. You could type at 120 WPM in one minute, but what about one hour? 3 hours? 10 hours? What's the average there, etc? What makes you even want to type that fast anyways? I find I can't think and write at 90 WPM all that well, since I'm more focused on writing as opposed to thinking. Maybe 60 WPM if I really want to get something done faster, but not 90 WPM.
