I watched your previous video about typing speeds around 3 months ago. Started with 55-60 wpm and currently at 85-90 wpm. It really works, just gotta trust the process and keep on practicing.

Hi Ali, I just wanted to share how your content has helped me improve my typing skills. About half a month ago, I came across your older post on typing and decided to put your tips into action. I started practicing daily, and I'm thrilled to say that I've already progressed from 30 words per minute to 70 words per minute!
I honestly didn't expect to see another video from you on typing so soon, but I'm grateful to have found it. It's always so refreshing to learn new techniques and hacks to enhance our skills.
Thank you so much for all the valuable content you put out. Your passion for self-improvement and knowledge-sharing is truly inspiring! Keep up the fantastic work!

I was watching your old video about how to type 150 wpm this morning while also practicing typing! Thank you for making this video!

[anAwesomeNameHere]

You have solved 10% of my problems. Thanks man.

[brad-smith]

Love this Ali, one of the most important thing I learned in school has been typing speed.

[singhvidashaan]

Hey Ali, I just love all your videos and ive gotten your booktoo and I havent got to read it yet but im really looking forward to it. Never stop

[suhanjoni]

I was trying to learn and speed up 100+wpm. Just watching your previous typing video.

After practicing 1 and half ywar now my highest typing is 86wpm.

Nd I am improving by practicing day by day.
Thanks a bunch, Ali☘️💐

[elmz]

125 WPM here! Trying to get even higher though. I want 150. I could type 70 - 80 WPM consistent before, but I was not typing with the correct methods using all of your fingers. Practiced for about one hour each day for two weeks or so and got my typing speed using the proper method from 20WPM at the start all the way to where I am now. For anyone with a 'slow' typing speed, just keep going! You will be surprised how easy you find many things as long as you have a bit of determination and power through them!

This video is great! I learned to type with a typewriter at school. We had the keyboard on the blackboard in front of the class. So we didn’t look down!

[soniyarm]

your timing of uploading videos is on point to my situation ali

[rougenior]

I like keyboards with numbers on the right hand side working on cash registers and working in a call centre where you need to have numbers is very helpful

[ThuanSuBa]

Thanks for another great video Ali

Actually, my typing improved after watching your old video some time ago about typing. I started by practicing 30mins daily and then I went from 35WPM to 85WPM now.
Thanks to you 👍

[shakeelahmed]

Sir, I don’t think your keyboard is fairly priced for a consumer in India. The ideal price would be at least 40-50% below the current price of INR 13, 900. If thats available i am ready to buy.

[davetuikong]

A great video! I used to be obsessed with typing, I am a little bit less obsessed, but I am indeed in that speed range of 65-75 wpm. Starting from here would be easy and require a little bit of practice to get to the goals like 80 wpm, then 90 wpm, then 100 wpm, then 110, 120, 140 and eventually to your level.
