I have been experiencing some pain in my fingers in the last days.. that made me thought a little about this whole speed typing stuff.. So I decided not to type on urikor more than 2 times a day.. at least for a while.. the pain went away after a few days.. I didn't type much these days. I wonder if it's the way the keyboard presses to cause me pain or if it's overtyping... Did any of you had this problem? I mention that it's not in my wrists.. I don't have any pain in my wrists.. just in my fingers...I am thinking of getting an ergonimic keyboard although it will slow my typing .. my health is more important than typing.. I am thinking of buying a Microsoft Natural 4000. One of my class mates bought one and feels pretty comfortable although the way the key press... it's definitely not ment to be a fast keyboard..Do you know anything about it?...anyway a break is wellcomed ) Happy free injury typing to everyone

Well my finger pain is gone I guess the pain was caused by typing too fast too much.. That's my conclusion. Overtyping is not necessary causing pain but overtyping at high speeds surely has some serious impact on my fingers. I didn't experience it before because my last keyboard was not a slim one like this.. The problem with this slim keyboard is that it does not absorb the shock of a keypress. I mean when you press a key at high speeds an impact is produced to the finger bones. The typical keyboard has those "rubber thingys" under the keys which raise the key up after you press it and they also ABSORB a part of the shock. But this slim keyboard has a very short keypress so there is no time for the shock to be absorbed. It's almost like typing on a piece of wood.. I mean try typing on the desk fast .. not on the keyboard on the wooden desk... You can surely feel the shock. I guess that's what causes the pain. I don't have too much money now to buy that microsoft natural 4000.. it's about 30$ here in Romania so I will stick on to typing slow and accurate That's pretty interesting and it does not cause me pain like in the case of speeding over the keyboard like a maniac ) The results are nearly the same with the 50 points bonus to error free But I must admit it is not easy to type error free... but practice will make it perfect.. I mean Avatandi types each text error free dozens of time Cool .. I want that too )

Yes, Автандилина the rights.
I plan a new kind of competitions.
The corrected mistakes will not be considered.

[Sensiblu]

And when will those changes in the championship take place? In the July Championship?

[Urikor]

Let's try. But I do not promise. Not all depends on me.

[ArthurW]

Juri, can you also give us a bit more details about them? (we're absolutely "tone-deaf" at Cyrillic script and Russian language thus we can't read the posts at that section) Or you want to keep it a surprise?

[Urikor]

No, certainly, it not a secret.
I badly know English language.
Will be 3 (and can 4) championship.
1 championship (short) - length of the text of 300-700 symbols.
2 championship (average) - 800-1200 symbols.
3 championship (long) - 1300-1700 symbols.
Online a simulator for beginning users prepares.
Perhaps, the championship for professionals.
To wait remains a little.
Have patience.

I want to congratulate Gem for taking the 1st place this month and Avatandi for his 2nd place error free! Good job you guys

[Gem]

[Sensiblu]

I don't know why he didn't pass the final tours in june. Maybe he was busy with the exams because he is a student and in this period of the year most of the universities have an exam period.

[ArthurW]

And congratulations to Liviu too, for his third place, and so close to Avtandi (3 points below her)!

[Автандилина]

Great thanks for congratulations
I had to leave Moscow the day before the last day of 10 tour, so I thought Liviu would still get ahaid of me. His spurt in the beginning of 10 tour was brilliant! I admired it.
(Liviu's typing speed is in fact much higher than my, and I only wish that Liviu improves his "patience" to type near-errorfree)))

New successes to everybodyd!
That was a very interesting competition.

I very hope SON will return and make new splendid record!

Oh, now I see... Автанди is a girl?! Sorry, I did not know.

And good luck to everyone in July too!

[ZukerPA]

ArthurW, after my returning, it looks like you are my rival for this month. :)

Good luck for you and let's have a nice competition!

[ArthurW]

Same to you, Petr!
But I don't think it's about rivalry We're all typing here for fun and of course to make new friends who share our hobby And if my keyboard keeps up with me then I may get higher scores. For now, I'm happy for having achieved to type with over 400 cpm on one occasion til now and that I no longer have the highest number of errors! Of course, here it's also about improving typing speed, isn't it Hope I don't get too addicted, because it's really very addictive ... like trivia games (I admit that it wasn't really easy to give up playing trivia in a hardcore rate)

[ZukerPA]

Yes-yes, it's nothing about rivalty. :wink:

Not for me, maybe, because for me it's like a battle with yourself and with the others. And in this battle you are making your new personal records and step by step become closer to the top. My speed and my hands can do it and I want to make it there that's why I need good rivals, because if you are already at the top it's hard to improving yourself.

[Squeezybabe]

I just love this site - and the whole concept. I just found it. I'll try for my first result tomorrow morning. Because I type best in the morning.

I use Dvorak - does everyone else?

I'll read more tomorrow, and not be such a n00b.

Best,
Michele
