Yes I understand that but my pinkeys arent used for the other symbols. My index finger also covers the vast majority of the keyboard, not just the blue and green on the picture above.

All the fingers on my left hand, only my middle finger on my right. I've somehow manage to combine the best and worst ways to type xD

Middle finger? That's surprising, index finger seems to be the easiest among people. o.O

I have my index finger on top of my middle finger, every single other finger on my right hand does nothing.

My instinct is to have the middle finger to W, the 2 other fingers to and D. Even if I don't game lol

i never learned to type properly, but with my two middle fingers (lel :P) i type about as fast as a lot of "classic dactylo trained" folks do with all their fingers. i never really felt the need to learn how to type "properly" both because of this speed, and because the whole "typing with a sheet of paper over your hands" thing is honestly BS, and as long as i have "peripheral visual" on the edges of my keyboard i rarely make typo's. (at least, when i'm not sleepy as fuq. typos happen in my brain, not in my fingers :P)

I just did a typing speed test and got 76 words a minute so yee I suppose? 

 

My left hand does space, and the left side of the keyboard mainly. However if I type something on the bottom right of the keyboard for example b, n, m, , and if the next key is on the upper right y, u, i, o then I will type the top part with my left hand. 

My right hand usually just does the right side of the keyboard and never really goes off.

I see, that would really slow me down. Its like natural instinct with my index fingers, they down where all the letters are.

Well, considering I don't have to look at the keyboard to type anymore, I'm pretty happy with this :P

Your score: 170 CPM (that is 34 WPM)

 

as someone who has to look at the keyboard to type, i think that's pretty good.

Me around 100 WPM, though once you factor in errors it's more like 90 WPM.

I learned touch typing when I was little, probably at least 7 or 8 years ago. I've always been a pretty decent typist. Having gotten my new mechanical keyboard yesterday definitely helped xD.

Tbf, 35 wpm isn't that slow :)

I think 35 WPM is a bit above average for people that don't touch type.

Yeah, I learned it at an early age so that definitely helps. I love my G710+; mechanical switches feel great. Outta curiousity, what keyboard did you get?

I got 49 WPM the first time and 55 WPM on the second time. That was without looking at the keyboard. I have done tests on other websites and gotten 60 WPM before, although my average is around 50-55 WPM.

Definitely. It's one of the cheaper mech keyboards out there but still looks pretty decent IMO. Wrist rest is a bit meh but at least there is one. Overall I definitely like it a lot, especially considering the price.
