Since I couldn't find this anywhere on the forum, I'll just ask it here.
What is the highest speed ever recorded on a colemak keyboard? The quickest I've found so far is 148 WPM on hi-games.
Anybody who is able to beat that?
I guess it will be great for publicity to set a world record on a colemak keyboard.
Cheers
I doubt anyone would be able to beat Sean Wrona, though - he uses an adaptive "hit with closest finger at the time" technique that's not even really touchtyping anymore, negating many of the disadvantages of QWERTY (though with some unusual posture, which might become an issue for him later). So a world record is, unfortunately, unlikely.
Ultimately, I think colemak is a lot more about ergonomics than speed, which is a shame considering how much hype speed would draw.
Edit: some other, possibly more interesting stats be something like "average time to transition and reach 50wpm (with or without tarmak)", "failure rate from layout switchers (with or without tarmak)",
Typing tests are universal.

There's probably faster than that. Today I found a typeracer user with a 151 average and a 203 best who uses Colemak (shrimpneck). It's a different test, but assuming it's a legitimate score, that's pretty fast.
