Fast 4 finger typists
Von user295920 - aktualisiert: 6 Jahre, 6 Monate vor - 9 messages
Hey guys, wondering what sort of speeds can be achieved on two fingers per hand. Anyone's got some sweets WPM's to show? I wonder if the speed ceiling is higher on 10f typing. I would assume so.

I have a friend who does around 50wpm with his index and middle finger. I use all fingers and average about 70wpm. I learnt how to use all my fingers about 1 week ago so its decent

That's really fast man, I've switched to all finger typing and took like 3 months to get back to the old typing speed (50 WPM) and now I'm slowly increasing my speed over that (57 wpm average)

Yeah, I was on a break and I banged out so much practice, typing essays for homework, playing games and typing in chat etc

I never typed with 2 fingers per hand, but I did type with 1 finger per hand, averaging ~50WPM. I once got 104 wpm typing "A Tale of Two Cities" with 1 finger per hand.

Oh I couldn't do this ever. I've always typed with 2x2f, exception being the left thumb I use for the space-bar sometimes. I'm trying to get to a consistent 100WPM, but it will take a little while :D

https://youtu.be/c9… this was a trending video a bit ago, although he is quite inaccurate. And I am certain that typing with 10 fingers will always have a higher speed ceiling.

I type with 3 fingers on my right hand and 2 on the left on average sometimes more depending on the text but hardly ever exception being shift ' " ? / and enter I don't use my thumbs for pressing the spacebar and I type about 117 on here 120-130 on most other sites.

There's a video on youtube of a scientific study that proves that amount of fingers does not equal speed. You can type amazingly fast with only 2 fingers. The key to speed is consistancy. The study showed that the fastest typists were the ones who typed the same key with the same finger every time.
What I would say is that typing with all your fingers will help you type more comfortably.
I will always recomend to learn to touch type, that will increase your productivity a lot, whether it is using your own technique or home-row; if you feel lazy and don't want to spend a lot of time developing a technique of your own I highly recommend the latter. (I may have made some mistakes while writing this, I'm not a native speaker, but I hope I got the idea across)
