I recently got a ZSA Moonlander and started learning colemak dh. It’s been a really fun journey so far and I’m now able to type consistently at 60 WPM. However, as you can see from the chart I’ve sort of hit a plateau at 60 and I’m having trouble breaking it.
I think it’s time to switch up my training strategy. So far, I’ve been using keybr.io and typelit which have both been great. Are there any other tools folks have used during this not-quite-beginner but not-yet-fast stage?
What span of time is this? 60WPM is great tbh. I’d say focus on just using this skill for the next year and don’t tie yourself up too much worrying about your WPM. Gains after this point may come a little more slowly, and through practical applications rather than repeated type training.
It’s been about 3 weeks. Yeah that makes sense, I do feel like I’ve noticed that while my speed test results are not changing as fast, my ability to actually do stuff has been getting better.
60wpm in 3 weeks is fantastic. It took me about 3 months to get up to my old speeds (also moonlander colemak dh) and 6 months to surpass my old speed.
Now that you’re 60 wpm, you can use this efficiently for daily use, and speedup will come automatically as muscle memory sinks in.
That’s the only metric which matters! Press on for a bit and don’t sweat it.
