An online study with 168,000 people shows large variation in typing speeds and styles. The dataset is the largest ever on everyday typing and exposed several factors that differentiate fast vs. slow typists. In addition to making less errors, the researchers found that fastest typists rely on so-called "rollover" where a letter key is typed already before the previous one is released. The data is published and free to use for research purposes. The typing test showed that the majority of...
