OH MY GOD. We are now best friends. Whenever I type its my right hand that does all the typing and the left just does the occasional caps lock. I have a horrible balance of hand coordination. :P

How fast can you type with just one hand, wouldn't it take ages to type out anything? :o

I only know of typing this way, and I've been doing it since I was in Year 5, so idk, I'm well practised.
Its slower when I incorporate my left hand because then I actually have to think, "left hand r key"...

70 WPM with two hands. Also note that I haven't slept in 24 hours :P

30 WPM with my left and then with my right hands individually. How do you people do it?

Yeah, it varies quite a fair bit - think about it this way - if you're typing a lot of long words, you're naturally going to hit a lower WPM, that's why I think characters/min is a much better measure.

I know that personally, I used to be a bit faster than I am now - I used to be able to hit 97 wpm on good keyboards, and my goal has always been to hit 100 wpm, but I reckon biomechanically I can't actually move my fingers much faster, but yeah, it's a product of learning how to touch type properly and just typing a lot!
