Yeah, I don't buy it either. I can type very quickly, but what brings my WPN down substantially is loading what I want to type next into my mind. Eg on typing speed tests, I can write the first sentence (if I can see it before the timer starts) much, much faster than the rest, because I can pre-memorize it. Later ones require me to multitask: read ahead while my fingers are still typing previous sentences, and this is much slower for me. If I memorize and practice a short sentence, I bet I could reach an extrapolated 500 WPM on my Kinesis Advantage with the Colemak layout with a few days of practice.
- kragen 5y agoI look forward to hearing your results. I think you'll reach the 140-190 wpm range that way, not 250 or 350, and definitely not 500.
- dkersten 5y agoIf you watch some of his videos linked by others here, you can see that to get those high rates he has chords mapped to entire words. I can do that with the Kinesis Advantage too.
- kragen 5y agoOh, indeed, with keyboard macros you could surely reach 500 words per minute. I thought you meant typing on Colemak.
