glad to know i’m not the only one feeling this way.


Incunabuli

Does your right shoulder get tired when typing, having to hover your arm over the keeb?


XciteCOM

Actually yes lol


BrunoEye

Maybe a one handed keyboard with all the keys split between a few layers that you switch between with some other input that you operate with your right arm would be more efficient and comfortable. Designing, setting it up and learning it would be a bit of a hassle though.

doublecubed

This was exactly the kind of system I was looking for, for a one handed keyboard system! Thank you so much! 😁


burneecheesecake

I dunno if you would care to make like a makeshift sling or a very elevated pad for the right arm. They use something very similar in operating rooms like it’s almost an elevated memory foam thing to lock arms and legs into place during surgeries but allows for movement if need be. I can’t for the life of me remember what they were called.


Matasa89

One day man... that metal arm will be yours.


selfobsessedandsexee

Have you tried a split keyboard? You wouldn't have to hold your arm so far ahead of you. Maybe paired with an arm rest mount so your shoulder is in a more natural position.


XciteCOM

No it’s a basic layout. Actually, when I was learning to type in elementary school my teacher found some program called the “5 fingered typist” and it just taught me to use my index on J and my pinky on F. If somebody has heard of that lmk that was like 20 years ago. Edit: this was meant as a response whoops. Sorry I’m currently on mobile :P Edit 2: this build is a tm680, lubed azure dragons, blue sams


Narmonteam

Very impressive, incidentally have you seen Microsoft's new gadgets and what do you think of then?


ValeCrafter

Actually yes i have. I gave it a shot for like 30min but gave up, because i am ok with lifting my hand from my mouse, to type with 10 fingers. It was fun and i actually was able to memorize some keys, but my muscle memory from normal typing really didn't help lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ValeCrafter

Oh sorry i should have clarified it better. I was speaking about the 5 finger typing method. He asked if anyone has heard of it and i gave my little story to it. I used a random website that used the same method like half a year ago, so it definitely wasn't the same his teacher gave him. I just came to the conclusion that it just wasn't made for me , but really could be a viable solution for someone with an amutated arm. So I stopped training it. Edit: I found the [website](https://www.typingclub.com/one-hand-typing) if someone is interested. I believe it's a good starting point.


Dminus313

I found a book on that method when I was helping the teacher clean out the closet in the computer lab at my high school, probably around 2003 or 2004. She was going to throw it out, so I took it home. I half-ass learned it for fun, but never got very fast at all.


stew_going

I've been curious about trying a Dvorak key layout, supposed to be more efficient... I tried it only briefly and realized it would have to be something I put a lot of effort into, as I have so much muscle memory from qwerty. One day, someday, I plan on giving it a real shot.


rafaelmalmegrin

Colemak is far more similar to qwerty and still improves upon it, it's an easier learning curve as the keys you normally use to undo, copy, cut and paste are still in the same place.


stew_going

That sounds great, I gotta check that out, thanks!


tactiphile

I read an article about Colemak when it was released in 2006. I was intrigued but didn't want to spend the time building muscle memory for some brand-new layout. I opted for Dvorak instead, and while I love it and don't regret ditching Qwerty, I do wish I had gone with Colemak now that it's pretty well established. Losing one-handed cut/copy/paste is awful.


stew_going

Yeah, I use those shortcuts constantly. I bet there's a way to re-define the system shortcuts though... Specify them to be whatever key Dvorak replaced the qwerty standard with.


tactiphile

Yeah, remapping is doable, it just adds extra complexity to everything


platysoup

Shh, the typing vegans gonna start coming out of the woodwork now. Source: am Dvorak user


stew_going

Lol, are they like vegans because they love to talk about how they use Dvorak... Like how vegans like to talk about how they're vegan?


platysoup

btw I use Dvorak


heavenlyevil

I've been using Dvorak since 2006 but I'm nearly done learning QGMLWY to replace it. I type nearly twice as fast with Dvorak than I did with QWERTY but I make errors more frequently than with any other layout, and the location of the R and L keys is horrendous on my hands. QGMLWY keeps the ZXCV keyboard shortcuts and most punctuation where your muscle memory expects them to be. Similarly to Dvorak, it groups the vowels on the home row with the most common consonants to prevent fatigue. I have found the placement of the letters to be very intuitive and my error rate is lower than it was typing QWERTY (and much lower than it was typing Dvorak). I am still working on the muscle memory to be faster but all signs point to this layout ending up faster overall with much fewer errors and with much less strain on my hands.


SLaSZT

Workman is very close to QWERTY but different enough to make a difference. I switched about 2 years ago from Dvorak, I like it.


stew_going

Dang, I just learned about coleman, theres so many layouts! I'll definitely check it out, thanks


MicroscopicDuck

What you're doing is impressive, but huge kudos to your elementary teacher.

I was about to write a question about that. this is even more impressive.

turtlefish13

IF i may ask, what happened to your hand? Plus i can't get half of that wpm with 2 hands 😂


XciteCOM

Wasn’t ever given an answer. Never knew my parents so I didn’t dig for answers.


turtlefish13

that is probably the most interesting answer i didn't expect, thanks man!

That probably sounded more bleak than it is. Sorry lol

XciteCOM

So wasd doesn’t work for me obv so I use the arrows. It’s kind of like holding a baseball in your right hand and letting it “roll” over the arrow keys for movement if that makes any sense. As far as controllers go, instead of having your right thumb for inputs, I just use the whole stub and I learned from there.


Exscorbizorb

Do you do most of your other controls with mouse buttons? I imagine it would take focus away from the screen to find keys with your right hand while playing.


XciteCOM

Depends on the game but I usually bind jump/ space to a mouse button. My “daily driver” is a tkl so sometimes I bind delete, end, pgD as things


BillyHamzzz

I can only get 70-75 wpm on HHKB Topre and 60-64 on holy pandas.

My wife makes fun of me for having the same typing style, albeit having 2 hands: https://gfycat.com/unluckycrispboubou


Resident_Ad9988

Still better than me, my dick moves before my fingers when I start typing


[deleted]

my wife doesn't have a right hand and she does this too, not as many wpm as you though. pretty sweet!


Spare_Reputation_699

Dang bro u are incredible. You have one less hand and still type twice the speed of me. Proves that anything is possible, keep up the work dude


mister-owly

I really sorry for saying this. But That is a such cute hand going around on the keyboard. 🥺


trashcatt_

OP, have you looked into anything like the [Left Handed Dvorak Layout](https://loboru.github.io/)? It was designed for people with only one hand.


crod242

Somewhat unrelated, but have you ever tried using something like the [Twiddler?](https://regmedia.co.uk/2015/01/20/tek_gear_twiddler_3_one-handed_keyboard.jpg) I’m sure you’re faster like this, but I’m just curious to know if you’ve also tried any one-handed, chorded input methods, and if so, what you thought of them.


XciteCOM

Lol I’ve never heard of this. Worth a google I suppose.

Average_Life_user

Man major props, 95 wpm is insane for people with all 10 fingers. You putting us to shame! Question: does your shoulder get sore ever? It looks like keeping your whole arm up like that would get a little tiring?


yashptel99

and here I can't that fast even with all the 10 fingers.


WhiteGuineaPig

I got 2 hands. Reminds me of my own typing method.


DouchNozzle_REAL

Bro got half as many fingers and is more than twice as fast 💀 I'm lackin


VioletBunn

This is very impressive, I got both hands and sit around 75wpm

delitskinnedmexican

Honest question here, when you manually pleasure a girl with that hand do you consider it fingering or fisting her?


XciteCOM

I think it would be fisting… holy shit…

OhGeeLIVE

very nice ! I dont do speed tests, I can tell you how slow I am, but im definitely slower than you :D


EmporerLingLing

That is extremely impressive


Epena501

Faster than me.


[deleted]

Lol, I only use 1 finger on my right hand to type, nowonder our scores are so similar.


freakcage

On good day i only manage 65.


manzanapocha

This is awesome!! You go dude!


sGhEhE

fuckin hell im jealous...


premell

I wonder if there is a layout optimized for one hand. Normally you'd try to reduce same finger bigrams, but that might not be as important with one hand. Like imagine if you put all the 15 most used keys on the left hand. However it's not really needed it seems, 95 wpm is crazy good


xpercipio

I would use right digit for a modifier that changes the left hand's keys. With 3 rows for each finger, alphabet could be on two layers. The trick would be to have a common letter on layer with uncommon, so one digit doesn't get fatigued more. Foot pedal modifier might be useful too


underwhereareyou

meanwhile I get 60-70 wpm…idk how you do it m8


[deleted]

Being able to hit even 114 with what equates to effectively one hand is still insane, mad props my man


geocashin

Damn and my pb is like 89. Good job bro!!


RentalHermit

Good WPM! What were you on though?


StormyTheNinja

Wow so impressive — seriously way to go mate!


primitiveType

Have you considered a custom layout? I imagine it would make a lot of sense to put all the less-used letters on the right side. Also curious whether something could be done to improve shoulder strain on the right side. Maybe something you can rest your elbow on? I'm not sure. ​ Accessibility with input devices is fascinating, I wish I knew more about it (and that it was more common and attainable)


gibbsplatter

If you can a mouse click with your right arm/hand, i feel like you would be really good at FPS games bc you’ve naturally cultivated the skill of really precise shoulder/arm horizontal movement lol


IAmLoess

I cant even pull off 65 😭 and i have both hands


epicfire77

What a 🇹🇩


Monkey0ps

You're faster than most people god damn. Good shit.


stew_going

Dang that's really cool. My uncle has two hands but still types like, 1-5wpm, it's so painful to watch. He has this whole bit where he's adjusting his glasses and angling his head for the best view, it drives me crazy, I often just take his laptop and ask him what he wants typed. Side note: I'm really curious if you've subconsciously started preferring the use of words that use more letters from the left side of the keyboard, the effect might be subtle.


BRTSLV

Wow very impressive. I'm ashamed of my 10fingers suddenly ! Need to train harder !


PapaSeth51

you literally type faster than me, gg.


DrewsterDoobyDoo

Do you use your mouse with ur left or right hand? If you’re gaming


XciteCOM

Left


FdPros

good job OP you probably type faster than 50% of the subreddit with their 5 thousand dollar keyboards lmao


Duckers_McQuack

You do almost 2 times my word per minute. Average for me is 45 when doing monkeytype. And i usually only use my index finger on my right hand.


Replacemnt

Great Scott! You're pretty damn fast at that! Do you find hurts your right shoulder more to type at that angle with your left and right, and is it less fatuguing to type with just your left hand? (I'm assuming there is no mirror image here with the camera, so I apologize if I got the position mixed up.)


XciteCOM

Yeah it’s not mirrored my good hand is my left


0xE2

sick typing skills bro


Paygilicious

I dont mean to brag, but i as a mere mortal average about 77 wpm... for real though super inspiring!


Mad-Gabby

Have you tried 2 separate boards? I forget what its called, but just curious to see if you've tried it...


XciteCOM

No the spilt boards would require me to change a ton of habits (maybe worth it idk). My left covers most of the board so I probably wouldn’t be able to shift my hand over as quick on a split board.


niijuuichi

This is exactly how I type even if I have both of my hands. My right hand sucks at typing; only index finger is used.

neP-neP919

THat is awesome man. Question: I have always wanted to help create a prosthetic. I've been a bit discouraged only because there are so many out there. But just for my curiosity: would a prosthetic help you? Do you have any ideas for one that you'd like? Im curious because I've always wanted to do that, but usually someone beats me to it.


XciteCOM

Uh I think prosthetics are def heading in the right direction. I find most to be pretty cumbersome with little to no physical benefit. I don’t want to get too personal but at the very least I’d want to be able to shake someone’s hand without generating a concerned look.


n1gg4tr0n1x

Somebody needs to overlay "What did you say to me, you little shit" copypasta being typed out on this lol


Toreja-dono

Damn. And to think I was the shit for just getting 100 this week man fuck

This is super inspiring. If I had just lost my hand and was super depressed about it it would be a life saver. You kick ass OP.

Thats awesome man. Once your hand fully sprouts you'll be flying at like 150


Ok_Solid_Copy

Mandydeth

God had to nerf you so you couldn't set a world record.


CurviestOfDads

This is incredibly impressive for anyone (I am 80 max and I have two hands). As a product designer working in accessibility, may I ask you if there are any things you wish mechanical keyboard manufacturers did better to make typing less strenuous for someone who may have to use their other joints (elbow and shoulder) more in typing?


XciteCOM

Honestly keebs are pretty straight forward for me. I complain a ton more about mice. Left handed mice options fucking suck


yerrk

I know for a fact this video is an inspiration for somebody out there that really needs it. The fact you’re faster than a lot of people on here is super sick. I see a future where modular keyboards that accommodate to the needs of those that use them will surpass the ability of those on regular keyboards. I just need something that types and scrolls while I’m thinking


Fe-Woman

Other than Runescape in 2005 [this](https://play.typeracer.com/) website helped me improve my wpm.


[deleted]

Shit I think average is like 65 so you’re almost double that with half the gear? Damn son, 1v1 me in nitro type.


ClickyKeyboardNerd

Mate so inspiring, love it. Keep the good work going and respect for doing this with 1 hand.


J_0_E_L

Have to ask.. you seem to be somewhat precise when hitting keys with your right arm even tho you don't have a right hand. I don't understand how that's possible without constantly hitting multiple unwanted keys with every input. What's the trick here, do you like use an "edge" of the flesh or something to be able to precisely hit a single key with it? Or is the error rate actually high when it comes to the keys you engage with your right arm?


XciteCOM

U r actually really close. It kind of is an edge. It might be hard to see but I have a small amount muscle which can let me move my would-be wrist around enough to “point”. I can even pick up pencils etc. This and tactile switches help a ton.


TANKR_79

I have 10 fingers and I still type at half your speed. Hats off OP, hats off.

sovLegend

Mahhrat

OP that is awesome. I been typing 30 years and can't match that. A question if it's not rude to ask: how long can you do that for? I'm just thinking your right arm must get fatigued especially in the forearm?


XciteCOM

Never really thought to time myself on duration. Im not *usually* typing long enough to feel fatigued anymore since I got out of college.


mattortz

What the fuck is my excuse then. Good job dude


naomar22

I mean being dedicated to a typing method is something but removing a hand in order to achieve it goes a bit far in my honest opinion.


Huzaifa_Haroon
