Of course only works with US/UK keyboards.

There's http://play.typeracer.com/ for a somewhat fun competition between friends.

I'm even worse than before..

New keyboard (nothing fancy, just a Datacom dkf-777f). I'll take a picture of it later.

Not quite fast enough.I got around 70 in my native language, 60-ish in English

Around 85-95wpm depending on the language. Typing German slows me right down to the lower 70s. Fuck umlauts.

Sad thing id I've been attempting now and again, even with a big nice (cheapo) cherry keyboard, not got above 41.. :/
if the words were all 'apache2ctl -t && apache2ctl restart', 'find /home -type f -name wp-config.php -exec grep DB {} \;' and '/etc/init.d/something restart' then I'd kill it...maybe get 45...

^ I know how it feels, Wux. My short and stubby fingers are accustomed to typing in short burst, not these arrays of coherent words.

^^ 80-90 WPM is no joke.

IKR? they invented OCR for a reason!
I have beautiful long piano playing fingers for the record. although turns out I'm pretty shit at the piano also :D

That site is taking the piss a bit, though. No use of punctuation, special characters or numbers as would be included in a proper typing test. But hey, it's a great confidence booster :)
