Great job! I've started myself just a few days ago, and it's quite fun actually... keybr really makes the process faster and I've learned more on on the first day than in all of my previous attempts combined. Accuracy is definitely important, I force myself to slow down when I'm getting under 95% and after it goes up, the speed rises along with it.
Thank you!! Your video really eased my nerves! I have been touch typing SERIOUSLY for a couple days now and have felt really bad the entire time. To be honest it feels like I am stupid and slow and can't think fast enough to type over 40wpm (with an average of 32) I have barely unlocked 17 of the letters so far and just feel like I am not actually making progress but thanks to you and your well worded video I actually feel my self doubt and self sabotaging thoughts leave. I am now actually confident in my goal of reaching 80wpm as well. AGAIN THANK YOU!! I feel like I would have given up a few days form now if I had not watched your video!!!!
Thank you so much for your comment! I love that I could help you in any way. Keep at it, even if it feels like you're not making progress, the key is consistency and practice! I know you'll unlock all the letters and see your speed rise massively! Let me know how you get on, I'd love to find out
@@Its_jason_ho HI! just wanted to stop by and tell you my progress after 7 days with at total of 6 hours on keybr I have gone from 29-31wpm to 39.6wpm average, and a top speed of 48.3wpm!!! Thanks to you and all your great tips it just kicked off; I just barely finished getting all of the letters unlocked this morning and I already feel loads faster!! I will continue with my rate of 1hour a day and keep checking in here every week or so too just for fun!!
That is amazing! You're doing so well. I knew that with a bit of practice you'd get way faster and I know you'll only get faster from here! Keep it up. I love to see it
You inspired me to do the same and start practicing typing, my first attempt was beyond horrible at 30 WPM but I'm sure it'll go up significantly if I keep practicing along the weeks, thank you for the amazing video!
I’ve been learning for about 6 months now and am really enjoying the process! There are lots of progress checks and sound tests on my channel if anyone’s interested
Good job! Nice storytelling and narration :) Thank you for adding timestamps as well. It took me about 2 months to get from 50 wpm to 110 wpm) in English (which even now is a bit slower in Norwegian (probably because you have those extra ÆØÅ letters to worry about, and in languages like Latvian, where you need to press AltGr for diacritics, well that slows you down even more. ) I was also logging my Russian typing speed improvements as well at the same time. Which went from being around 15 wpm to around 50-60 in the same time span. So wherever you are, be it 10 wpm, or 60 wpm, there is always room for improvement. I actually think it is much easier to get from 60 to 100 wpm. Around a year now I have been trying to get from 100-110 wpm to 120-130. It just gets harder and harder, right now it seems like my main obstacle is my actual reading speed (which currently is not too high) and remember, even though I for example am getting 100+ WPM in MonkeyType, that is in English (Difficulty: easy), with punctuation I get even lower WPM-counts.So don't think that so many *actually* has a 100+ typing speed IRL. When you have to think about what you are typing when doing work or studying, most of speed-typists typing-speed is probably around the 60-mark anyway. :))))
Those are great insights. I absolutely agree with the irl speed being lower, monkeytype is definitely a less accurate representation of actual typing. Very impressive you can type in so many languages!
I have been doing this typing stuff from months, I started nearly October 2022, and till January I was able to reach 80 wpm on 10fastfingers website But after that, I still do typing and my speed doesn't seem to increase, it is stuck somewhere nearly 87wpm. What should I do?
Practice makes perfect. If you feel you aren't improving anymore, you might be near your limit. Or it might just take a lot more practice time. Hard to tell without knowing how you type
I had a surprisingly similar journey! Until one year ago, I had been typing the same way as you with two fingers (+1 or 2 for special keys). I also had to look at the keyboard regularly and I also had the same speed as you! Around 60 WPM. One year ago, I got a new keyboard as well. A custom mechanical one. I also switched to a new keyboard layout (EurKey instead of QWERTZ) and decided more or less on a whim that now'd be the time to learn touch typing. I used typingclub, which is a bit more aimed towards beginners, but I had a really good experience and it was fun. It took me about 1 week to get to 60 WPM WPM, I think, but I spent more time per day practising. I didn't really continue to practise after that, I learned a lot of the non-letter keys just on the go. Now I'm sitting at around 70-80 WPM. At some point I also want to get to 80 or higher consistently.
Amazing journey! I've never heard of EurKey, but I'm glad it's working for you. Tbh I think I'd also naturally get faster if I typed more at work etc. It all comes down to repetition in the end.
@@Its_jason_ho EurKey is basically just US QWERTY but with tons of extra characters for European languages mapped to Alt Gr keys. It's pretty cool, allows you to type words in many more languages, which was a requirement for me.
My initial wpm was always around 60 minimum when I was a kid, 100 wpm average when I was in high school(I started using computer when I was 5yrs old). I rarely practice, I just play games, watch, read etc. Im college now and turning to be a doctor, my average is 120-130(on 99-100% accuracy), I can reach max 140-180 when I try hard but man I gotta respect your consistency, you also inspired me, great job man! Note for everyone who wants to IMPROVE: It's always been ok to be a slow typer, what matters most is your accuracy and consistency when typing. Eventually with the proper experience, comfort with your hands and consistent practice, your sense/instinct will develop typing and you'll see the improvements. Your back posture wouldn't necessarily affect your typing speed and accuracy, your hand posture will, of course with exceptions and it's also more preferably if you straighten your back. Also, when you read.. try not to read too far ahead, just read what you can read with your pace along with your typing, and eventually so your hands and eyes will be more in sync. Also, I have noticed, a lot of slow typers bring their fingers way too high from the keyboard, it will strain and fatigue your hands more as well as it'll slower your typing by a lot. If you are right-handed, prioritize practicing your left hand. While being not too related with typing, practicing your non-dominant hand daily (with your daily chores whatsoever) will increase your accuracy and speed by a bit if you get more comfortable and used to it, trust me.. both of your hands will be more on sync. At first it will be uncomfortable, but trust me it's worth it, it can also help when you're a pianist as well, I'm also a pianist and apparently, your dexterity, comfort, reflex, and flexibility will improve on both, they will benefit one another(ofc you don't need to be a pianist when you wanna improve your typing speed). If ever someone doesn't believe me, it's your choice to do so, you can research more about it and you'll be seeing I'm spitting facts(I learned from experience and knowledge of almost 2 decades with almost daily use of computer, yes even before when I was a kid, I used computer 5-7days a week, I also took computer related courses before I switched to medical field). Your brain will also be improved when you do some of the advices I told you. So yeah, if u don't change the way you practice(just typing and practice on websites everyday, thinking that you're gonna improve a lot by doing it for months or years) your limits will be just of an average person, but if you take my advices(of course, not just my advice, try to watch a lot and read a lot about improving typing speed if you are eager to improve) you can exceed your limits more than an average typer does. Don't stay average if you want to break your chains from something you really want to improve on.
Wow thanks for the comments, appreciate the kind words. Also love to hear your advice. I definitely felt the part about raising my hands and fingers too high and the reading. Good luck on your journey in medicine, hope you smash it!
I wish more people would do this. It kills me watching all these keyboard enthusiasts and youtubers who, when it's their time to shine with the sound tests, end up typing with just index finger and sometimes middle finger. It KILLs me inside.
i started from two finger typing at 50wpm to avg 80wpm touch typing. I took longer time cause there was a lot more going around which i need to take care of, but it feels so good.
I got my first computer when Windows 95 came out. I was forty-five I think about then, but I learned, or started learning to touch type when I was at school at the age of eleven with one of those really old metal things that were really hard to get along with asdf ;lkj etc. So when I got my PC it was really different and I looked at the keyboard again for a few years. I think I was over fifty when I decided to try to type for real again. I actually managed it, and now my keyboard is under my desktop but I have no idea what my speed is. I have to admit thought, I'm rather proud of myself after all these years.
I'm following the same journey to get better at touch typing, my job requires me to use a keyboard for 100 percent of the job and I've always felt bad for typing so slow. Great video.
@@Its_jason_ho I will buddy.. I just pushed to an all time high of 59 wpm and a new average of 49 today.. it really feels magnifical seeing my fingers fly over the keyboard like in the movies 😊
It's such a good feeling right? Even when I was slower than 2 fingers it felt better. Make sure to get a little practice in with shift keys and punctuation
@@Its_jason_hoit absolutely feels good,, you're right I need to practice on punctuation and shift i can only type comma, exclamation and backspace without looking.. I will work on that
Right now I get a average of 76 wpm with 98% accuracy but this is with the "English 10k, and punctuation" settings on monkeytype. My ultimate goal is to reach 200 wpm on those settings, that's when I'll finally feel like a god at typing.
for me , my dad installed an old school keyboard software back in windows xp to improve my typing , that paid of for me as my typing speed on these websites are 70-90 wpm , I never knew it was called touch typing
You're video is so encouraging, it lift my spirt up again😭 I've been practicing for 2 weeks now using my keyboard laptop, I'm thingking if, it will be better or is mechanical keyboard really makes difference in typing with the acuracy? What color of switch did you use in your keyboard? Thankyou for answering.
Don’t worry about the keyboard too much. It’s better to just get more comfortable with typing! I use a mechanical keyboard with Gateron Black v2 switches :)
Great video,I am learning to type fast but watching a video, I realized that is better if I tipy with two thumbs,so I want to know,Do you recommend me do the same?
Practice a little everyday, or when you can and you'll see improvement! The important thing is to not cheat the process, even if it feels really difficult. Over time you'll develop the muscle memory
@@Its_jason_ho it's mainly just hard for me to know what fingers should be responsible for what keys and well specifically how i should move them when i type, but i hope i'd get that with more practice and just kinda trying different things.
Yea absolutely, it was really hard for me too. I think what I like about keybr is that they take it one letter at a time. But it'll still take getting used to. There are other sites as well, that focus even more on single letters and fingers I think. Worth having a look around
Hi Jason, this is a bit of a niche question, but I was just wondering which thumb you use for the space bar? Do you use the right thumb all the time (if so, why?) Or do you use the thumb on the hand opposite to the hand that you typed the last letter with? (I.e. if you typed the letter "n" you'd use the left thumb and if you typed the letter "f" you'd use the right thumb) I've seen this method suggested on some typing websites, but I'd love to get your opinion
For this I only used lowercase for my learning. In my day to day I've added punctuation and shifts, but it does slow me down. If you wanted to add symbols there is actually a setting to change it on keybr and other websites
I’ve never thought that i will able to type above 20wpm with 10 fingers but here i am after a month typing at 94wpm on average! If i could do it I doubt u can’t just have faith and consistency. Note that u needn’t an expensive custom keyboard, start with a regular one…
I can't remember my exact story but I typed exceedingly quickly with just two fingers(70-90), I switched to touch typing for ergonomics because I major in computer science. I type around 130 rn(about a year later)
i actually try to read a bit faster than i type then memorize the word so i can take a slight look at the keyboard and automatically increase the accuracy&confidence while i type
His video is really helpful actually. I know he's helped a lot of people in their typing journeys as well as mine. But hitting 160wpm is genuinely superhuman, so it could just be natural talent haha
Keep at it! And remember you can do it slowly initially and focus on making no mistakes first. This is a great way to increase your speed through accuracy
I'm no expert, but I got to my speed with practice! There's no shortcut. You have to build up your muscle memory through websites like keybr and eventually your speed will increase. I recommend practicing when you can for at least 30 mins at a time. Good luck!
@@Its_jason_ho sometimes, i do have to look at the keyboard to reposition my fingers, in case i make a mistake which is somewhat rare. but i really want to learn touch typing as i can't make any more progress as i am.
Sounds like you have the potential to type at 120wpm! It definitely would take a while to get used to the transition though. I reckon a few months practice would get you there
my school had me do a lot stuff like this, had an entire class dedicated to teaching typing, later in life I got myself a custom mechincal keyboard and had to learn how to type all over again because of the layout but I improved from 60wpm to 90wpm with something close 100wpm which was amazing as it only took me like a month to get that average. Also while watching this I got self-concious about my typing and thought that I only typing with two fingers but realized lol, even while typing this I thought I was only typing with two fingers.
I never had a typing class, but my parents always told me to learn to type properly. Took me a long time to come around haha. But still there's nothing wrong with typing with any number of fingers as long as it works
@@Its_jason_ho Well... If you must know the current world record is 273 held by rocket over the span of 60 seconds. But if you want to consider the 15 second record (which isnt the official time) that is 305 held by izagani
@@maximianum personally after typing for too long my wrists got sore. So I put a wrist rest underneath them. Nothing special. Just rolled up a wristband or sometimes a cloth.
Don't put your wrists and elbows on the desk surface, please! Bear in mind: if it would be useful and helpful all pianists and organists should do that anyway.
@@Its_jason_ho Most useful and productive approaches are extremely difficult at an initial stage. And the opposite is clear: dumb, silly and stupid things are always fun and easy-peasy 🙂
Yea I've been seeing that too when I type in more real life situations, KeyBR is great, but other sites add in the capitalizations to be more realistic
I'm stuck at 40 wpm
Same bro, did you improve from 40 wpm
@shourya2408 yes,I'm at 60
@@weezykush1993 how did you improve it like i'm also stuck at 40-45 from 2-3 weeks

Yea absolutely, it was really hard for me too. I think what I like about keybr is that they take it one letter at a time. But it'll still take getting used to. There are other sites as well, that focus even more on single letters and fingers I think. Worth having a look around
Hi Jason, this is a bit of a niche question, but I was just wondering which thumb you use for the space bar?
Do you use the right thumb all the time (if so, why?)
Or do you use the thumb on the hand opposite to the hand that you typed the last letter with? (I.e. if you typed the letter "n" you'd use the left thumb and if you typed the letter "f" you'd use the right thumb)
I've seen this method suggested on some typing websites, but I'd love to get your opinion
Sorry for the late reply, but I usually only use my right thumb. No idea why though haha.
also dont forget to click ctrl+R immediately to avoid the disappointment
Do you include punctuation and shifts in your keybr, or lowercase exclusively?
Any additional tips for symbols? Ie. covering the whole keyboard?
For this I only used lowercase for my learning. In my day to day I've added punctuation and shifts, but it does slow me down.
If you wanted to add symbols there is actually a setting to change it on keybr and other websites
I've started like you with 40wpm in april, and now I'm at around 70-80wpm.
Trying to get to 120wpm including punctuation and numbers
That's great progress! You'll get there in no time
I’ve never thought that i will able to type above 20wpm with 10 fingers but here i am after a month typing at 94wpm on average! If i could do it I doubt u can’t just have faith and consistency. Note that u needn’t an expensive custom keyboard, start with a regular one…
Of course, you can learn with any keyboard. Just have dedication and consistency
I can't remember my exact story but I typed exceedingly quickly with just two fingers(70-90), I switched to touch typing for ergonomics because I major in computer science. I type around 130 rn(about a year later)
That's still amazingly fast either way haha
I'm currently trying to do the same (bar the 130wpm part lmfao), cause I think it'll help me code a tiny bit faster
i actually try to read a bit faster than i type then memorize the word so i can take a slight look at the keyboard and automatically increase the accuracy&confidence while i type
That's cool! Are you working on not looking at all in the future?
@@Its_jason_ho yes still trying to adjust
Thanks man
Appreciate the support!
Well that is inspiring
Thanks!
I got 97 WPM with 100% accuracy in 4 months of practice every day more than 6 hours of practice
That's dedication! Congrats
@@Its_jason_ho ❤️
Now do one but including a lot of numbers and symbols. That would be interesting to see.
That would definitely be a challenge! I'd probably have to start from square 1 haha
The brightness indeed
LMAO
It blinded me!
i also typed with like 4 or 5 fingers until I bought an expensive keyboard and felt shame for not being able to use it properly 😅
Right?! It's a legit reason haha
hey, great video! how around long were each of your sessions btw?
Thanks! I did a minimum of 30 mins and went up to an hour
I am starting touch typing
Good luck!
My age is 16 and top speed I've achieved is 176 WPM, with average of 149, You now inspired me to hit 200 WPM.
That's amazing! I know you can do it
@@Its_jason_ho Thnx Man :)
🥶🥶🥶 Simpsons 🥶🥶🥶
Only the best
goood
good video bro
Glad you liked it!
how does ali abdaal get 160 wpm, genuinely curious as you list 100 wpm as top 1%. Have I just anwered my own questions. Thx Nick
His video is really helpful actually. I know he's helped a lot of people in their typing journeys as well as mine. But hitting 160wpm is genuinely superhuman, so it could just be natural talent haha
each day how many hours should practice for increase typing speed?
30 mins a day should be enough!
that 60 wpm is with punctuatoon
Sir plz tell me keyboard company name what u r using
Of course. I use the QK65 from QwertyKeys
bro can you tell me,
which keyboard is it you are using?
The keyboard stats are shown at the start of the video
It's the QK65 👍
@@Its_jason_ho thanks brother
Its been 3 weeks that ive done touchtyping every day but with all letters i'm only at 22wpm. Its so frustrating
Keep at it! And remember you can do it slowly initially and focus on making no mistakes first. This is a great way to increase your speed through accuracy
how much time did you spent every day ?
At least 30 mins, sometimes 1 hour :)
After six months since you started
did you get average 100wpm?
I decided to focus on learning new things, which you can find on my channel!
How long did you practice each day? Im stuck at letter 'u' in keybr...
The recommended practice time on keybr is 30 mins a day, half the time I would practice 1 hr a day when I could
I'm a beginner how can i aquire typing speed
I'm no expert, but I got to my speed with practice! There's no shortcut. You have to build up your muscle memory through websites like keybr and eventually your speed will increase. I recommend practicing when you can for at least 30 mins at a time. Good luck!
I type 20 wpm😭 can you please right the name were can I practice thank you
No problem! Keybr.com
you gotta help me im stuck at 40 wpm
40wpm isn't bad! Still better than a lot of people. Just take it slow and practice and you'll get better for sure
Typing like that really isn't bad, I can get 100 wpm pretty easy lol.
i still two finger type, reaching 100 wpm, without looking at the keyboard... idk how
That's impressive, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
@@Its_jason_ho sometimes, i do have to look at the keyboard to reposition my fingers, in case i make a mistake which is somewhat rare. but i really want to learn touch typing as i can't make any more progress as i am.
Sounds like you have the potential to type at 120wpm! It definitely would take a while to get used to the transition though. I reckon a few months practice would get you there
@@Its_jason_ho thanks m8
im good at english while touch typing but sluggish on my own lenguage!i feel like touch typing is just made for english:/
I can't get along with a phone though. No way. 😥😥
my school had me do a lot stuff like this, had an entire class dedicated to teaching typing, later in life I got myself a custom mechincal keyboard and had to learn how to type all over again because of the layout but I improved from 60wpm to 90wpm with something close 100wpm which was amazing as it only took me like a month to get that average.
Also while watching this I got self-concious about my typing and thought that I only typing with two fingers but realized lol, even while typing this I thought I was only typing with two fingers.
I never had a typing class, but my parents always told me to learn to type properly. Took me a long time to come around haha. But still there's nothing wrong with typing with any number of fingers as long as it works
which keycaps are that?
These are the GMK Inukuma dupes.
the current 2 finger world record is 178 wpm lol
Oh wow, that's ridiculous! It's not far off the world record for normal typing
@@Its_jason_ho Well... If you must know the current world record is 273 held by rocket over the span of 60 seconds. But if you want to consider the 15 second record (which isnt the official time) that is 305 held by izagani
I was way off. That's crazy fast! I don't even think my brain could process words that fast
@@Its_jason_ho You'd be surprised at how quick the brain can process words
nah starsuki beat that 178 just under 2 years ago btw
lets' do kebr
For me, I have the opposite of your problem of reading too fast. For me my muscle memory is way ahead of my reading no matter how fast I read. Ironic
That's a better problem to have, you must type fast!
Name Jason Ho ????
That's me
@@Its_jason_ho where are u from name is jakaon Ho ?
1:01 - Using all your fingers? Standard touch typing uses 9 fingers.
I sometimes changed up which thumb I would use for the space bar, so it made it 10
@@Its_jason_ho Oh I see. I use both thumbs for keys as well as space so I was curious if you did that
@@sapiently1 Yea I'm not sure why I change sometimes, it just happens naturally
me whos gotten a 61 wpm at a typing game right now:
(._.)
The way you type at the end looks like 50wpm🤨
I promise it's not but I wish it looked faster haha
stuck at 30 wpm
A bit of practice every day and you'll get faster!
WYSI
Osu?
yeah the video is 7:27 minutes long @@Its_jason_ho
Bruh momentum
hmm, I type with two fingers and get 100wpm w/o looking =D
That's impressive, I'd be happy with 100wpm no matter how I did it
@@Its_jason_ho Cheers, and enjoy the journey! All the best 🙏🙏
i am in 17WPM
Getting there!
are u korean? me too
Haha not Korean, I'm Chinese, but I've been mistaken for Korean too
@@Its_jason_ho then why are you writing korean?
That start clip is from another TH-camr called :3ildcat not me. Sorry if I confused you!
Captil
Keep practicing and it'll go up, trust me! Don't worry about speed. Go for accuracy
@@Its_jason_ho thanks for tips but I have a question ❓ what about wrist position should be rested on table or free on the air ?
@@maximianum personally after typing for too long my wrists got sore. So I put a wrist rest underneath them. Nothing special. Just rolled up a wristband or sometimes a cloth.
Don't put your wrists and elbows on the desk surface, please! Bear in mind: if it would be useful and helpful all pianists and organists should do that anyway.
I saw someone suggest this on another video, but it feels so unnatural at first! I ended up using a wrist rest sometimes instead
@@Its_jason_ho Most useful and productive approaches are extremely difficult at an initial stage.
And the opposite is clear: dumb, silly and stupid things are always fun and easy-peasy 🙂
Lie 😂
if i hit 69.5, to keep my morale up, i would have to lose the .5
Nice

Thanks, I appreciate the support!
Throwing in numbers, capitalizations, and symbols DRASTICALLY lowered my speed 🥲
Yea I've been seeing that too when I type in more real life situations, KeyBR is great, but other sites add in the capitalizations to be more realistic
I've tried it a few times, but some people on there are insanely fast!
