Right now it seems my peak average is 130 WPM with less than 95% accuracy, 145 Gross WPM :< I'm getting old. If you get me angry, though, I go Super Saiyan and will type 150-160 WPM with almost 100% accuracy. :> My SC2 APM is like 100-110. | ||

I really don't see how there's any correlation at all between the two, considering most APM is just pointless spam in the first place, and in theory your max APM would be the same as your CPM (which in my case was like 600). The thing is, you're never going to be anywhere near your max, and your average is largely dependent on how much you want to spam and I don't feel that a higher WPM increases the desire to spam any. Edited to correct APM numbers. Ok well I don't spam at all and I guess I could use a better word than correlation. I was wondering if maybe there's some kind of relation to do with the limits of an individuals dexterity. Most of the issue is knowing what you're going to do next, but in theory someone who can reach 100wpm but not 140wpm with ease.. probably won't increase in apm from 70apm upwards (based on what Day[9] says about only needing around 70 effective APM) without a LOT of time spent playing. But then again starcraft involves different skills and requirements as a prerequisite to be able to make use of effective APM feel my APM currently is limited by my game sense/knowledge of the game and simply that I haven't reached any degree of competence yet. with regards to this you have to consider that on a keyboard you have 8 fingers in contact with a vast amount of keys. Ultimately, upon further pondering, it's a pretty ineffective question I'm asking. But I find it interesting to some degree none the less. Edit: Downloading Typing of the dead. Can. Not. Wait. | ||

Indeed, it's interesting in multiple ways. For example, with a WPM of around 100... you're typing at nearly 600 CPM. So, in theory, a Starcraft player could play with that much APM. Obviously, you would have time to do anything other than spam, so you would lose... but I think it's cool to know that the theoretical APM limit is literally six or seven times higher than what you actually need to play the game effectively. I feel that this shows the limit in APM needed is due to game limitations rather than human limitations. | ||

It's very slightly higher than my average APM in a mediumish length game. | ||

I can believe it, seeing other people who are not nerds type is incredibly painful. Was in an investigation at work recently and everything I said had to be typed out...agony. | ||
