VIPER DOES 200+ WPM WITH COLEMAK

Pop the corks! The "Mach 2" barrier of 200 WPM has been broken by Colemak typist Viper, who just got a 201 WPM score at 10FastFingers!

This lays waste to any unfounded claims that Colemak can't compete with the best speedwise.

Source: Alfredo at the Colemak Discord channel. He's a 10FF admin, so he knows Viper.

According to his 10FF profile, Viper clocks a ≈170 WPM average speed at the normal typing test, and ≈150 WPM at the advanced one. That's strong.

Enjoy his reaction towards the end of the movie when he sees his speed score! ^_^

If you want to see his fingers in action, here's another video of him doing 150 WPM on TyperA.

Also, read his account of how he went from 0–200 WPM on Colemak in little more than a year!

Update 2019-06-14

True to form, Viper has surpassed even his 201 WPM result and is now truly a world-class top notch 221 WPM typist using Colemak! IIRC, the last time his accuracy was below 95% so this time it's more of a perfect storm as would be expected when achieving such blinding speeds.

Update 2019-08-16

This time around, the Viper got his record on video: 223 WPM on 10ff, just amazing to watch.

Update 2019-09-25

By now it's hardly a surprise anymore, but the Viper struck again. This time he managed 227 WPM even though his accuracy was a bit lower than the last time:
