Anyway some nice pics and info about KEYBORADS.........

i've pretty much avoided this thread for that exact reason. im not into musical keyboards so i figured why bother lol.

About the only one I can find is the Logitech DiNovo but I'm not sure I like its design.

check out the logitech ps3 keyboard. its full sized and has a full touchpad on the right side. also, it's bluetooth. i used it with my HTPC setup and loved it. it had a really nice range too.

still worth a re-mention, since it is such a great resource

Whoops, looks like you're right.

So what's everyones maximum adjusted WPM on here anyway? I tend to average around 86 or so, but sometimes jump to about 94 at my peak.

What's the point talking about keyboards but not how fast you type?

what is this adjustment factor of which you speak? i'm hesitant to post my results from a standard online word-per-minute test, if it is somehow inaccurate

It just means it reduces your score based on mistakes. Both typingtest and 10 fast fingers do this.

I still use a PS/2 Model M, one of the earlier models with the detachable cable and removable keycaps. Mechanical keyboards are amazing.

nice soft touch with a good curve. I can't type properly on straight keyboards.

TypeRacer can be entertaining for a couple rounds.

While very fast typists certainly exist, it is pretty unusual for people to routinely clock over 100 wpm with good accuracy. Distribution of typing speeds here (PDF linked) .

I can type over 100WPM on qwerty but it requires way too much effort and I don't need to ever type that quickly so I don't bother.

likewise - it requires a lot of my concentration to break 100wpm, and i make a number of errors at that speed

honestly though, my ideas dont even flow that quickly - can't type ideas that I havent even formulated yet

The fun thing about the Filco (and HHKBs) is that they sell the complete set of blank keypads. <3
