Thanks for this video, I feel worse about myself now 😃
Regarding Keyboards, I personally find it very motivating to have my rgb keyboard set to no lighintg unless I actually touch keys. This makes me want to press keys to light them up and have a very satisfying effect on your feeling when you press a button. I love it when I type a text and my keyboard slowly begins to light up and if I stop typing the keys go dark again. This makes me want to sustain that glowing light of the keyboard and type even more. Of course you don't really look at your keyboard while typing that much, but it is actually very fun to just see it in the corner of your eye :)
Tech lead you are one of the very best youtube channels by far and away it's crazy because I never really was into coding or anything like that but your one of the very very few people I could honestly say I would like to be more like, and that is in the terms of your bright intellect and motivation to viewers like me thanks.
You are really very funny! (as a millionaire)😉😂
Thanks for the shortcut tips, very helpful!
He’s so good at flexing I can’t even get mad at him
Frrrr
I literally could not focus on the content as the flexing was just to intense.
So true...
Word bro he just over here flexing hard talking bout expensing two keyboards from burning them out 😂
Him: how did I learn to type so fast bcoz damn im just too good and ur not, whatchu gonna do abt it u mad?
I love how he can tell ridiculous jokes while keeping a totally straight face..
Bold of you to assume he's joking
@@DrzAnt12 Fortune favors the bold??
(as a millionaire) don’t forget
Bruh, watch Charlie talk about dildos with a straight face
Yeah, aspergers is a power.
As an average 95 wpm typist, I can say it's impressive. I also strongly agree that the fingers stiffen up if your room temperature is cold, but I never thought about going to warmer places like Hawaii. Thanks for the idea, I'll try this one.
His humor is hilarious 😂
This dude is flexing hard
I would try it, but the humidity is so high my fingers slip on the keys. Better to try Spain.
He just mentioned it because he wanted to mention that he is a millionaire. And he might be. Which is ironic.
@@tuanoan875 ikr
Not only typing his speaking speed is also more than 170 wpm. He is superb in his own way.
That's the main reason. His brain works fast and fluent which results in his speech and typing etc.
Haha, got it.
I can’t even think 171 wpm
Lol
The tech lead cannot either.

It does start with thinking fast.

You are becoming another Captain Keyboard! I love to watch stories to see people use the microcomputer. Fast keyboarding can be a blessing. Happy Keyboarding!
This guy's sarcasm doesn't end XDD
And still he manages to mix it with some proper useful advice in such a proportion that... that it still feels fresh
Pretty sure he watched the video of Ali Abdaal who used to make such a video which caused an enormous increase of subscribers, not so dumb if you think about it.
@Phantom Ooze probably both, but more on the sarcasm side.
@Phantom Ooze sarcasm comes with narcissism
I was laughing so much at the “turn up room temperature sarcasm”
"I'll just exit the whole terminal and I will rewrite the whole code from scratch because I'm just that fast" damn that's so badass
If the mistake is big break the keyboard, go at it, you deserve it.
Lol
Dude flexing big time 😄
He literally just flexed on all of the coders that have to work hard and long on projects.
Lol he was clearly joking. Dry humor is his thing
I like how confident you are man, it's not arrogant when you back up what you say. Idk I admire you man, you kinda hurt my feelings sometimes as I am an aspiring software engineer, but I only take offense because you call me out on my own flaws. Much Love TechLead.
I have committed to practicing some of the typing speed web apps each week (initially daily) and I cannot believe how much my note taking and coding productivity has increased. My mind has always raced ahead of my typing and cause me issues by breaking my train of thought when having to back up and get the previous thoughts correct. Thanks TechLead, my productivity is now on fire.
"My accuracy and precision is so good I can actually code on production" - made me burst out in laughter, priceless! :D
Why?

Why, why?
That's what all developers tell you - just before the system is down for 2 hours. 😁

I've been watching some related videos lately, and this one is gold, no other one mentioned about the temperature. I was cooling my office too much while working, and after a few days I got pain in my wrists and fingers. It took a couple of weeks to fully recover.
The way this man speaks in one consistent tone u can just barely tell he’s joking
I’ve suddenly realised I’ve been making a mistake using a heater in my room. I should have been going to Hawaii instead all along.
His sarcasm is on another level.

you forgot going to hawaii

Thank you so much Sir this will help me alot to increase my typing speed 🙏
Great tips! Most people forget about the importance of RGB thing!
Moral of the story: rgb = +170 wpm
Hurts me to see it wasn’t written as +=
After you reach around 70-80WPM typing speed by just practicing normally, 2 important tips I can also give are:
1. You should read ahead, meaning you should already read the next words you are gonna type, before you reach them. In another word, You’re reading speed should be ahead of your typing speed.
2. When you reach to more advanced levels(Above 80), you shouldn’t type words as in “Letter by Letter”, when you read a word you have to deploy the entire word instantly. Or in another word, don’t type letters, type words!
Htae si ogod vdaice
Late reply, but tbh no one needs to tell you these tips and you kinda just develop them naturally.
Ахуеть а ты по слогам чтоль ещё не научился читать только буковки выучил?
@@OP-pe4yc Nah I am stuck at 75-80 for about 6 months now and let me see if these tips actually work. No typing tutorial mentions these!

With the subtle Highlander reference at the end I'll give this another five stars for comedy gold, awesome
This is the video that inspired me to look into mechanical keyboards. Eventually settled on the Royal Kludge RK84, which I’d highly recommend as an alternative (cheaper and better, in my opinion).
“When you have good form, such as myself”

"The light of success shining through the keycaps will inspire you to divorce your spouse and marry your keyboard.."
Hi , you mentioned the Logitech G series keyboards. For typing which is the style one should use “tactile” “linear” or “clickty” as listed on the Logitech G915 site. What’s the difference between the three

Man, this guy just goes and goes. Amazing.
"Pubic hair caught under the keyboard??", This guys is just smoothly incorporating sarcasm.
....result of "typing as fast as you think"
I just laughed for a couple of minutes straight after he said that - about the keyboard and pubic hair. This guy is beyond hilarious!
I played Mavis Beacon Typing when I was a kid and that's pretty much it. Whenever I take notes in my classes everyone stares at me because I type so fast without ever needing to look at my laptop. Don't sleep on Mavis
Coders will agree that they all have a gun in the top drawer of their desk so when they make a typo they just load up a new world to get a better seed to speed run life on as it would be easier than looking for the typo and fixing it
I love how 30 seconds of this 10 minute video are about typing tips (half of which don't apply at all to typing fast XD), and the rest is about the number two* TechLead in the world.
* Right after me.
I'm a big believer that you are made up of what you consume, this includes content, and ever since I've found Tech Lead I have been a lot more productive and efficient with my time. The concept of Ruthless Prioritization seems like common sense, but was never common practice in my life. Thank you for everything you do Tech Lead, never stop making videos!
I thought this dude was seriously narcissistic for a moment- and then the jokes became more obvious and it clicked xD
I use that keyboard for gaming and wanted to ask what do you do if you need new keycaps for it? I've gone through 2 keycaps already as some keys I press get hit more then the rest. The keyboard uses custom keycaps and can't be replaced with normal keycaps.
You know that you're a millionaire when you taking a trip to Hawaii to warmer up your fingers to type faster :)
Pubic hair caught under the key caps 😂😂. I love this guy
The light of success shining through these RGB keyboards. That's hilarious!! :).
6:05
just the casual trips up to hawaii, legit the most humble flex i have ever heard.
How much difference is there between a low profile keyboard and a classic mechanical keyboard?
I just bought a mechanical keyboard, I find it aesthetically pleasing, but I doubt its ergonomics compared to a low-profile keyboard.
What type of keyboard is the most comfortable?
“I went to Hawaii.... if you can’t you can buy a room heater.” 😏
I've watched this video at least 6 times, even when I first saw it I could already type quite fast (131 wpm) but I still enjoy watching it over and over again.
I got 60wpm max and when I was trying the proper finger placement I got 23 wpm
So glad I stumbled upon this channel
Such dry and lovely sarcastic humor... I can never tell if you're being serious or not, which I love
After 25 years as an Engineer (both coding and old school mechanical) never gave much thought to a wrist rest. I know, I’m clueless. But this video has inspired me to pick one up and give it a try. Good job TL
Dang , he is a legit Legend. I can't crack coding Questions, and this guy is coding in production 😭😭🔥
Not only a fast typist, but also speaking without pause and all that in 1 tone… 😊
What about using ergonomic keyboards those are curved? Should I learn on them? Will my muscle memory suffer if I do when I switch to a regular kb?
When he was talking about how RGB makes him type faster he started smiling, like he didn't actually mean it and was making a mockery out of all us die hard RGB fans
🤣🤣🤣
Linus Tech Tips says the same thing about his computer builds “RGB makes it go faster” LOL
Rumors say that TechLead is in a open relationship with an RGB keyboard
Very helpful video Patrick
Good to see your speed typing video and motivating others to master the art and enjoy working with this wonderful machine. This is Dr H M Arun Kumar, a World Record Holder for typing in various styles. Wish you good luck.
What keyboard do you use sir ?
Im very proud of ya TL! You type so fast you appear to be perspiring
The joke on the room heater was so good 😂
Though I was disappointed when you stood up after the typo and just rebooted the computer. I was expecting you to wack it with the keyboard and set it on fire. Techlead is getting softie these days..
I'm using a black Magic keyboard right now and have a score of 94 WPM in German at 10FF. Very nice video, thanks for your upload!!11OneOneEleven
Your glasses are from Jaguar, aren't they? I also use this model!
Those shortcut keys is really really helpful to type faster rather than hovering using mouse.
"that's what millionaire do like me , but you can get a room heater if you want , I really don't know if it works never tried it myself"
😭😂 Absolutely love this guy❤️
7:43 when you have good form, such as myself *poses like a model* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:00 He sure have the bragging rights to this. I mean he had to burn through a few keyboards to get a 50 page done and with some other projects.
That low-profile keyboard really makes a difference. What I've really noticed is that when I use an apple keyboard, with the touch-tap kind keyboard like Apples, I type much faster and accurately. The mechanical keyboard might be good for gaming (as the gamers say) but i find the travel distance to be extremely in-accurate, and sometimes you can make mistakes by pressing half the distance or 2/3 of the distance of the key and it doesn't register. With an Apple keyboard, I don't find this to be a problem. Also typing with a mechanical keyboard is really tiring to have to press all the way down. Your fingers literally exhaust from pressing the keys.
It's actually dependent on your preference and muscle memory. I type the fastest on cherry profile brown switches. I struggle on the 915s cause I tend to doubt if it did register or not. I can type well on blues, but not consistently cause it's way too noisy.
Yes for me Im very good typing in laptop keyboard rather than my mechanical keyboard. Isnt that weird?
Except on a mechanical keyboard, you DONT have to bottom out and press all the way down. 2/3 of the press should already be registered and bottoming out is just extra time which is your own flaw, not the keyboards. But regardless, it's different for everyone.
"It's just going to inspire you to...divorce your spouse and marry your keyboard."
Fell out of my chair hahahaha.
"For me if I make a mistake or typo, I ... reboot the computer ..." :D Those where the true TechLead treasures I was looking for.
Your flexs are my favorite part of your videos
2:13 LOL had to buy new keyboards because your old keyboards were worn out. What a beast.
As a matter of fact, I typed this particular comment in one second doing so with one finger only. While being a left handed person, I did it with my right hand.
If you are tpying on discord I would recommend wordPractice discord bot. I use it to practice typing on discord, it's really good because you can modify the text to how you like. It's also pretty fun because of the coins, badges and ranking system.

I have bought a rgb kB by Leed's advice, the injure of my hands is healing, really. Although typing speed is so so, thanks a lot!
My girlfriend had an interview where she needed to get her wpm up to about 45 and she was at 30 so I opened a word document and had her type the alphabet in lower case then holding shift for all capital letters and her wpm went up to 50 almost immediately.

"If I ever make a typo I would just exit the entire editor or reboot the whole computer." This is what accuracy means!
My whole 10 mins of life was worth watching this video. !!! The jokes are on another level 🤣
He's the one punch man of typing
I have a good typing speed of about 100-140 wpm. I was sitting in a class a few years ago where a professor teaching a night class was dictating to us some notes and everyone was sitting around computers typing them in. Professor was starting to freak out a little when she noticed me watching her, not the screen, as I was typing with the occasional glance back at the screen to ensure I made no mistakes typing. She even had to come over and watch me closer after she noticed what I was doing. Fun the things you can do when you have good typing skills. About the only rough thing about being able to type fast is brain buffer underrun where your hands catch up to your thoughts before you have finished thinking what to write. But that almost never happens with dictation.
dude chill its not that ccrazy
WOW!! The sound of the keys for him is like an orchestra playing in the background.
