This might be good advice, but he cheats on his races. This is obvious when you see he goes from 50 wpm to 200 wpm in a matter of days, and his accuracy goes to 100% for all quotes.

A cheater? well he might be one, yes, you never know these days lol.... And by the way geoffhuang5 how much of a physical effort is typing fast for you, (you being the 11-15th +22th best ranked player on this site)? Does it make you breath quickly? Does it make your chest to feel tense as if you're weightlifting? Just curious, because I being a laughable 40wpm can't imagine how it is like typing at 160+wpm lol

When I type regularly, I can easily type 130-150 wpm with 100% accuracy without trying, and can probably keep this pace up for some time. When I go into "overdrive" mode and try to type fast, it takes a little physical effort and I can usually type 150-200 wpm, but my accuracy plummets, and it's hard to get 100% accuracy.

I wouldn't have imagined that people could type that fast with little physical effort. In my case I feel more comfortable now that I've started whispering the words as I type 'em. Yeah, even if the user 'ibm' is a cheater or not, his advice is working for me, not so much to type faster or more accurately, but to feel more physically comfortable while typing.
By the way geoffhuang5, don't you have videos of you typing fast, so we can see, and maybe try to imitate, your technique?

The only recording device I have is my phone.

I don't really care about posting videos of myself typing, but if you can think of a way to record myself with just an iphone, I guess I could show you how I type.

It's ok man, I just wondered if you had one already, dont bother to record one just for someone that wants to see your technique... but If you want to, maybe you could ask someone to record your typing, the recording going from your hands to the screen back and forth a couple times, then you create a new youtube account called "GeoffHuang5TypingFast" or "GeoffHuang5FastTyping" or something like that and you upload your videos there. You can have videos where you do the video where you defeat Freddy Wong at his typing challenge ( https://www.youtube… ), and videos for each typing website ( this one, typeracer, 10fastfingers, typerA, hi-games.net/typing…, -these last two are supposed to be uncheatable-, ...) Then the next step is to contact manufacturers of keyboards and ask them to send you keyboards for you to review on your channel...
I'm just kidding lol, sorry... but then again if you want to do it just for fun you can do it.

Talking on the phone to my friend with a headset while typing helps me go much faster. Take the worry out of it and just do it! lol

Yeah that might work for some persons (I suspect mostly females, since they are said to have better multitasking skills than men). Something similar happened to me when I was playing a videogame and I couldn't beat the stage and then a friend called and I kept playing while talking to him and that made play better and beat that stage. I will try your advice someday =)

I always wanted to learn how to play the piano. So I compose music. My keys are extremely off but thats where i go sometines. Ill make sure not to. .you all are so thoughtful and competetive. i smell the testtestrones. ;_ Good day loves.!

Yeah we are... Well I think one important difference between learning to play the piano and learning to type fast is that you need a teacher if you want to learn to play the piano (unless you are a genius and can learn on your own, but even geniuses like Beethoven and Mozart had great teachers) but you can learn to type on your own if you follow the advice of people that can type really fast that write on this forum (I am not one of them... yet). Happy typing!

There are some of us who aren't the fastest typists in the world due to not having great timing or reaction time but can still give pointers on techniques.

One thing that I've found very effective when trying to type more quickly (I currently type around 77wpm), is focusing more on the accuracy of my fingers than on the actual speed. Slow and steady, in this case, truly does win the race -- you waste less time pressing backspace and correcting yourself, and thus can spend that same time completing your next word or phrase.

Doesn't matter if you whisper or not, but reading ahead also helps -- if you have a good memorization of the keyboard, it's akin to walking while looking ahead versus walking while looking at the ground (or your feet).

If you do not own one already, my advice is to research mechanical keyboards and then to purchase one with switches that fit your preference. People in that community tend to recommend switches with tactility for typists (eg: brown or blue cherry mx or topre if you are willing to spend more). Will your WPM increase immediately? Probably not. But as far as how much you enjoy typing, there will be a profound improvement psychologically and physiologically. When typing becomes more satisfying and less tedious, it will also become a lot easier to practice more and thusly improve. I type quotes throughout the day while multitasking because I find it relaxing. Do not feel the need to break the bank like many mechanical keyboard enthusiasts tend to - but investing in a keyboard which you likely use several hours a day is certainly worth the investment and you will not regret it.

user68366: yeah I tried to combine whispering and reading ahead at the same time and that's a bad idea. But separately each one works well. reading ahead is also Sean Wrona's advice, so it's good advice!

user400381: focusing more on the accuracy of your fingers than on the actual speed... this might actually be the "best underated advice on how to type faster"..

lytewerk: Yeah, I have been thinking of buying a mechanical keyboard since a while ago, one day I will buy one (with red or black switches are the ones I imagine myself liking the most from what I've read online)

Red and black switches tend to be preferred for gaming due to their linearity, but some people like them for typing as well. It's all personal preference, really. I coerced one friend to buy a mechanical keyboard and he decided on the Leopold FC660M with reds. He enjoys it for playing osu! which is a rhythm game involving rapidly pressing keyboard keys - but now he thinks he may have preferred something with tactility. Despite that, he does enjoy typing as a whole much more than he did with his old keyboard. Trust your instinct, but see if you can sample different switches at a local Best Buy or something if you have the time.

Lots of good advice here. Mine are: 1) Relax, and stay relaxed. 2) Practice slowly, slow enough to comfortably and reliably hit each key dead center. 3) Practice "legato," hold down each key as long as possible. This exaggerates the finger travel between strokes, and improves your speed and accuracy of those movements. 3) Type by words and phrases, instead of letters. 4) Read ahead by at least one word. 5) Invest in a good keyboard for all the reasons mentioned above. Most likely it will help your speed and accuracy, but more importantly you will enjoy typing more. My favorite for many years was the Apple wired full-sized aluminum keyboard. Then, I switched to Filco blue for a few years. When I next got a Filco brown, it was so amazing that I typed for hours just for fun. Now I use both the brown and an HHKB. The HHKB is the most addictive thing I've discovered in a long time, and I just look for excuses to type. Silly, I know, but true.

Good advice! in particular the "legato" technique (this one might be gold), and the one about mechanical keyboards. This topic really has now some truly "best underrated advice ever", from many people.

They say pain is an illusion. This is just a bruise and you are just confused, but I am only human

I have already faced the same problem on my iTunes account then it shows iTunes error 4013 then I decide to consult with the expert team by visiting the website they suggest me the better solution.

You know you can take your phone back if it's not working.

I'm currently at around 70-100 wpm when using various typing websites.

I tried typing with rhythm, read and spoke each word in the paragraph, and other possible methods of trying to get to 100% accuracy but none worked for me. I still made mistakes.

What helped me get through the Instant Death typing tests to always look a few words in advance and close my eyes so that I could concentrate on the spelling of each word. The speed drops to around 50wpm but at least I can get through multiple quotes without making any single mistake.

I just discovered this just now. Try it and see if it works for you. :)

I can’t really type the instant death tests because i am scared to type every letter because every mistake means one test lost. ):
