I worked with a dude that insisted his speed was insane and when we tested him and took errors into account, the actual WPM was more like 15.
E: anybody who doubts this, please recall that a word is five character average, so 80 words per minute, including shift, capitals, punctuation, numerals, means this person is hitting over 400+ Keys a minute… 7 Keys a second. Ain’t going to happen with two fingers lmao… You can put your fingers on a desk, no keyboard, and you wouldn’t be able to strike the desk 400+ times a minute with your fingertips. Pure delusion.
It’s at the upper end of what is physically possible, but it is possible. It would look pretty weird watching someone do it, I imagine. This is basically what high end Starcraft players are doing, except with a mouse added in.
StarCraft players have tons of different input styles, but most of them use almost every single finger. They’re also not typing words, they’re spamming the keyboard equivalent of arpeggios.
Dude you’re not hitting 80 WPM with pokey-poke
