Makes you realise how unforgiving Cherry MX Reds are when it comes to even slight inaccuracy.

It's fast enough for my purposes.

Top 2 people seem not have the badges for over 100WPM even though they managed it. Also not posted in the thread. Fakes? :O

Either way 135 WPM is impressive, cant seem to beat my own score on the macbook. Will give it a go on a real keyboard in a bit

I type with all the fingers of my left hand but only the index finger of my right hand, caused by learning to type fully with my left hand while still controlling the mouse in games.

We seem to have the same problem

I have a habit of correcting the words in these things if I make a mistake. End up wasting a lot of time.. Going to have one more go.

Edit: Can't beat it, I can't remove my habit.

I think you only get the badges for doing them in a non-competition test. Certainly possible speeds plus one of them has been doing a lot of them.

I'm using a steelseries 6gv2. If I had my trusty logitech ultra flat I could get much faster
