How fast do you type?
Do you use all fingers or hunt and peck?
Do you have to look at the keyboard?
What kind of keyboard do you use?
Me:
85 to 95 wpm - no mistakes, 100 wpm two to three mistakes
All fingers (sometimes I want to use toes too)
Never unless I am using the special function keys above the normal function keys
Full size Natural Keyboard - loved it ever since I got it.
EDIT:
See, now this is another example of where I would like a branch function.
Are you right handed - left out in the cold minded or left handed, right minded?
Dominant lefty here, ambidextrous in everything but my power tools - all set up for left handed use only. I feel safer somehow.

about 70, but errors are normal. All fingers for me but back technique (shift keys mostly). My one roomy used to type 80+ with no pinkys, dunno how he did it.

Show off! :)
I'm right handed, left dominant,ought to be dyslexic and probably have dyslexic tendancies but still teach English, can't easily tell my left from my right and to top it all I suffer from dyscalclia (number blindness)! What a mess! :)

well, I have never had a chance to actually time my typing speed, but It's fast. and I mean fast! people at work get annoyed by me.
I can keep up with your talking speed at most cases.
I do not use all fingers. only the ones I feel like using as I type.
I do however "suffer" from an impossible amount of typos most of the time. This is mostly because I use a bilagual keyboard and type pretty much at the same speed in both Hebrew and English. so I sometimes try to use a letter in hebrew while printing english and the other way around. (i.e. I can mix B and C, cause c represents in the keyboard the same letter that sounds like B in hebrew etc.) |

I once got shocked with 22,000 volts of DC power in a radar console.

I'm not sure how fast I type. I doubt its as fast as 100wpm though. I know on the last typing test I took it was about 70 but I was purposely being very deliberate as to not make typos because it was for a job and I only needed 60wpm to qualify. For years I always said I typed 60 wpm or so, the speed I was in High School until a coworker told me I was crazy if I thought that was how fast I typed because his wife did 100 and I was close to as quick as her. I don't know though.
I do know I'm right handed though and I don't have to look at the keyboard to type. I do have to look to type the upper row (numbers) unless i'm at a desktop computer and the number pad is to the side, I can do those without ever looking.
I'm impressed by 100 words with few typos, incredible! |

About 120 wpm, no errors, about 130 with a few. :) But I'm a freak of typing nature. lol

That was totally unrelated to anything - isn't that the topic? :P

last time i was tested i was doing 110 wpm with a 1% mistake rate
numeric i did about 9000 stokes per minute and alpha numeric just over 10,000 stokes per minute.
I am very good a data input and so am a database manager and product analyst.

About 50-65 WPM, and loaded with errors, I'm the fumble-fingers of the Midwest.
I use all fingers
I sometimes look, which I know is a horrible habit, but old habits die hard.
I use a Microsoft Natural Keyboard, which I like a lot. Sure wish it would help my accuracy though!
