No idea how they can type that fast with those long finger nails!
- userbinator 5y agoThey increase stiffness. You hit the keys with the hard nail instead of the squishy flesh of your fingers, which reduces jitter and improves timing accuracy. (I'm a fast typer, but not as fast as that one, also with long-ish --- around 0.050" --- fingernails.)
- half-kh-hacker 5y agoI actually keep my nails pretty short (they're only about 1 or 2mm past the furthest-out part of my fingertip) for typing reasons! My speed gets a lot worse if I let them grow out, so I like to file them down regularly (instead of clipping them occasionally) to keep them at a length I'm used to.
