Everything you need to know to get from 0 to 200 WPM!

This is a video that a lot of people have asked for. I think that there's a lack of good video tutorials so hopefully this helps some people out. There's not really a ton to be said about improvement in typing, as 99% of it is just practice. Ok now here's a ton of links:

Colemak typists that I mentioned:

Holy shit, I never knew the power of the fastest typists in the world, they can drop their hands on a keyboard and summon a mountain.

I remember watching this video 2 years ago, barely managing 30wpm with touch typing. And now I'm able to type at 160wpm. This video single handedly got me there so I'd like to say thanks 👍

[mikaelat]

I just wanted to express my gratitude to you and your advice. I went from barely being able to reach 70 WPM to being able to comfortably do between 70-90 WPM in just a few weeks of practice. I already knew touch typing (and even already customized my typing) but the advice on having separate accuracy and speed practice sessions, treating the typing as typing one word at a time rather than one letter, and acknowledging that you are not typing in one pace the whole way through has really helped me.

I am aiming to be able to do 100 WPM, or at the very least have a range of 80-100 WPM. Once I am able to do that, I'm satisfied. I am not a competitive typist by any stretch of the imagination, but it feels good to just say that I have that skill. Thank you for helping me get there!

You know he is over 210WPM when everything starts shaking

For those who don't know, I have 600 wpm, with 2% accuracy 😎

Thanks. The "chord" example made a very big difference. I'm starting to type like that now and I'm seeing great results after a couple of hours.

Hey my guy, i just wanted to let you know that this video helped me quite a lot with typing fast, 3 months ago I used to type 20 to 30 words per minute and now i type at an average of 55 wpm and i still improving on my touch typing, thanks a lot

Rookie tips:
- use your thumb on the spacebar
- use AT LEAST 6 fingers
- DO NOT use caps lock for single or few capitalizations
- start using CTRL+backspace
- get used to DEL
- practice the arrow keys
- use CTRL+arrow for faster navigation

And remember, 80-100WPM is plenty for almost every job. Typing fast is a fun skill though.
Don't hurt your hands:)

Now that's what I want to record forever in my brain: think about words, not letters. Just a completely different mindset.

[XSSEALS]

This is good. You gave some good pointers, things to think about, and possible goals with reasonings behind them. Much appreciated :)

[shishirsks]

The best crisp video on improving the typing skills without any nonsense! Good Work!

6:32 when my essay is due next hour...

Me: This is easy

*30 words per minute*

Best video on fast typing I've seen. While a lot of people just quote "practice, " you actually cite good intentions and habits. Awesome vid

[nathans]

Really nice video. I appreciated the pace, your examples, and the structure of the content.

[afrozenpizza]

Thanks for uploading this video. It is very informational.
I feel like I'm peaked at the 120 range. I can get spikes of higher rates but and not consistent.
Not sure why this video was in my recommended, but it was worth the watch.
Switched to an ergo keyboard for work a year ago, and that changed a lot of my habits. Currently making an attempt to get fluent with Dvorak and Colemak, and it was very interesting to see how many of the point you made in the video aligned with things that I'm doing. Started by focusing building memory of the layout, got a decent rate, then started to focus words with the pauses to think about how my hand needs to move to form that word.
Awesome typing rate.

[outloud_overthinking]

I like this vid not only because of necessarily typing advice it provides but rather just the general self-improvement techniques that serve as a reminder that progress is not linear. Currently, I'm at the point where I feel like my skills are worse than they used to be in the past. Sometimes it's so hard to get over it and keep going. Thank you, it was inspirational for sure.

[kevinkunst]

This was fantastically straightforward and had NO FLUFF in it. No goofy intro sequence, no outro, no BS, just straight facts and suggestions. Thank you so much for this fantastic content.

Hey John, me again.
I've been typing for 15 years and I use Dvorak layout for the past 5 years, however I don't currently have a computer so I can only type on my phone.

When people see my keyboard, they often accuse me of being a witch and attempt to burn me at the stake so thank you for bringing attention to our disease.
