Mid 40s and I can do short tests on Monkeytype at about 145+ WPM with 100% accuracy when conditions line up. My regular daily typing speed is quite a bit lower though. I use a split ergo keyboard, blank key caps, and correct fingers for ev

That's awesome, I've never heard of anyone ripping from their car. It's interesting that you were collecting for the sake of collection and not gaming. It reminds me of people that go full tilt building PC gaming rigs, but n
