I have 150wpm+ when i'm in primary school... and i believe the primary school's keyboard aren't mechanical...and yes its proven by the softwares used by my Microsoft Office teachers and i got the Microsoft certs as well for typing fast, which is useless for my future purpose.

But i believe with the result of typing fast, i'm able to achieve this in the video below, sorry for the blury capture tho.

sorry as much as i wanna believe u having 150wpm, its nt something possible unless u are typing short ez words...
professional typist float at around 100-120...
the record is 216wpm...

btw o2jam is more to spamming and reaction rather than accuracy at all...

I don't know about it then, the teacher just ask me to key in a paragraph with more than 500 words infront of some guy, and i thought that these guy must be some higher level teacher that wanted to see how's the student's standard over there after 5-6 months, end up the teacher told me they are some guy from Microsoft after i finished key'ing in, and i see something like 15x ish number on the software when the guy took over the computer, few days later i got a cert from Microsoft noted that i'm one of the fastest typist in the younger generation, my teacher explained everything after that because they are amazed to see such fast typist in the younger generation, and so they make an appointment with the Microsoft fella, then got took photo by the media and stuffs, and of course shwoing their huge company name at the back, probably they wan more students to enroll to their class, marketting stuffs.

Funny stuffs is i did even brought this cert to my first interview for a job, but sadly my SPM results turned the interviewer down. sad.gif And the interviewer seems to not believe that i have such a cert and even asked me "did i made them my self?" lol, maybe i look too lala that time sad.gif malaysia is such a "realistic" place.

not that i doubt you but 150wpm is a little hard to believe as i've said as it is very very fast even for professional typist to reach that speed...
and ya sadly in our country results > all and they rarely take other merits like skills etc...
part of the reason why i did pushed myself very hard back then but i would say its worth it...
still studying now?

ps: dress formal and no spiky hair etc during interview >.<

150wpm, I consider my self above average just having half the wpm you have now..

QUOTE(xiaotim @ Jan 14 2011, 09:04 PM)
if really need NKRO go get a P/S2 KB... that the true NKRO....

There's USB mechanical keyboard which is able to achieve full NKRO, sadly I hardly need NKRO for my speed and skill now.

I have played less than 5 SC2 matches after acquiring my mechanical keyboard, I felt afraid to play the game now =(

owh ya, just if you guys want to know how failed is the razer starcraft 2 set,

in the recent starcraft 2 competition at Tbun wangsa maju, they provided us with razer full set, banshee earphone, marauder keyboard and spectre mouse. 90% of the gamers did not use them, just unplug and use our own.


p/s ProCobo is the man! (for those who have seen his mouse.....)

well, technically, what i believe is that those "pro" gamers already have a liking towards their own equipment and it has a better feel to it i guess, so using other eq is just...weird to them i guess?

oo, thanks evo...was thinking of getting a SS keyboard...was wondering between the 7G or the 6gv2...done some homework and many said that it's pretty much the same, except that the 6g doesn't have wrist wrest and some earphone usb port...thus, makes it cheaper

cool, will try to get it some time in the future, haha

i've checked out one persons opinion between the 7g and your filco brown, haha:

Steelseries 7G
Key feel: Stiff and Linear
Tactile feel: None
Noise: Very Little
Rollover: Full NKRO
Key Delay: Untested
Key travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom
Typing: 4/10
As you've probably figured out by now, Cherry Black switches are best as pure gaming switches because of their stiffness. And this board gets a lower score than other boards because of it's layout. The Enter key is larger than normal, and the Backspace and Left Shift keys are shrunk. If you are comfortable with keyboards with that sort of layout then just ignore this. But if you aren't, then be ready to reach further away with your pinky to fix your typos.
Gaming: 10/10
Just like several other boards here, this one is perfect for gaming. The Black Cherries help against accidental keypresses, it has full NKRO, and a PS/2 connection for near-instant response. It's added benefit is that because of it's smaller Left Shift key and addition of another key between it and 'Z', you get one more key that you can reach easily while gaming.

Filco
Switch Type: Cherry MX Blue, Brown, or Black
Key feel: Light (Blues), Very Light (Brows), Stiff and Springy (Blacks)
Tactile feel: Crisp (Blues), Rounded (Browns), No tactile feedback (Blacks)
Noise: Light click (Blues), Silent unless bottoming out (Browns + Blacks)
Rollover: Full NKRO on PS/2, 6-key + 4-modifiers on USB
Key Delay: 3ms on PS/2
Key travel: 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom
Typing: 10/10 (Blues), 8/10 (Browns), 5/10 (Blacks)
As long as you pick the right switch to suit you you will not be disappointed with this board. It is excellent in every way.
Gaming: 9/10 (Blues), 8/10 (Browns), 10/10 (Blacks)
The reason the Cherry Blacks are better for gaming is because they are a) stiffer than the others, so that you don't press keys accidentally, and b) have no tactile bump, which makes it easier to rapidly press a key over and over (like for dodging in Unreal Tournament). But besides the switch type, this keyboard is perfectly equipped for gaming with a native PS/2 controller and full NKRO. And you can also switch out the WASD keys for purple ones!

Just get a PS/2 slot for your keyboard if you don't wanna hear "duuuut duuut duuuut" sounds coming out from your motherboard, full NKRO.
