Compare Typing Speed Across Keyboards
See whether a new keyboard or layout actually makes you faster.
💡 WPM counts every 5 characters as one "word" — the standard typing metric. Net WPM (shown when you finish) subtracts errors, so accuracy matters as much as raw speed. Average is ~40 WPM; 60+ is fast.
Keyboards tips
Run several passages on each keyboard and compare average net WPM — not a single run.
Switching layouts (e.g. to Colemak/Dvorak) drops speed at first; give it time before judging.
Comfort and low error rate matter more long-term than a couple of extra WPM.
