Hi,
I've been a Colemak user for nearly one year and I love it, but I'm stuck between 60 and 65 wpm.
My main problem is when I try to type faster I write burst of letters which are usually correct but in the wrong order.
Does any one have any tips to improve speed without mixing up letters ?
Thanks
Start by slowing down your typing speed so you can type at a steady rhythm and try to make as few errors as possible. Don't push yourself to type faster, that will only cause you to make more errors. Let your speed improve naturally.

I'd suggest working on accuracy and smooth typing, as SpeedMorph suggests. If you keep mixing letters, maybe your fingers aren't agile enough? In that case, play a lot of piano/RockBand/GuitarHero! :)

Thanks for you advice , that what I was thinking do but I m not sure. What is "smouth typing " ?
smooth typing means typing on a speed on which you're not hesitating, and don't make frequent errors (like the kind of errors that happen when you type too quick). then eventually your speed will gradually increase while retaining the accuracy :)
Thanks
Play typing games such as Typer Shark or Typing with the Dead. These games do not allow mistyping, so your accuracy will increase quickly.
After while, when you returns to the Typing test, the speed just increase gradually and effortlessly. Do not push it too hard, anyway, all of us have a max typing speed.
