‘This probably would make it to the olympics before ultimate frisbee’ 😭 right in the chest

[@seaston]

Andrew's sports casting of Adam's attempts was fantastic

[@Gricccy]

It sounds to me like the inventor just used to have the whole alphabet as his password and developed muscle memory from it =P

[@randaranatunga7259]

He’s Marques That’s why👏

[@jjunture]

Remember that scene in The Last Dance where Michael Jordan is throwing quarters against the wall with someone, competing to see who can get the quarter closer? How much you wanna bet that Marques watched that scene and was all “yeah, makes sense. I can see doing that.”

[@potater6163]

I love this podcast, I always listen to this when I'm going to bed and stay up to date with all the new tech. It will be interesting to see who gets the fastest score and there will probably be someone who will get 200wpm on it

[@atandaayomide1552]

This game is just awesome....got a 6.222 on my Asus N550J, that was like my best of 6 tries though.

[@alozie__]

Wow, close, I got a 6.9 on my Anus N550 J

[@samsimmons6023]

This was so fun to watch. Lol, loved it

[@lordcron]

I would dare say he's well thought out.... Look at his pace, and his conversation and speaking style. He doesn't seek to piss you off and then say "oh well if you're mad" He has back story and meaning behind what he's telling you. "Real Context" When you know someone is well thought out it lets your guard down so you can truly absorb what you are hearing.

[@steveczawiak3128]

I still remember seeing a photo of marques in one of his videos, full superman, diving for a frisbee. Legend.

[@SaltAndVi]

You guys should screen record your laptops during all of the podcasts so you can show the articles you look at, or in this case, the typing. I typed this comment during the first two attempts, then Adam actually did it haha

[@humblebun639]

11:09, I kinda feel bad for laughing my heart out😂😂🤣

[@anishsomani]

Excellent idea. Enjoyed trying it out. Instantly addictive. The intersting finding was that I could do it faster in the first attempt on my s21 than a keyboard

[@tylersmithspdc4918]

6.583 was my fastest time (4th try) on the new XPS 13. I love this keyboard.

[@ReksratYTB]

First try: 9.4 | Second try: 8.1 | Third try: 7.1 Normally i can type pretty well, like 50-60WPM, without looking down at the keyboard but when typing the alphabet i couldn't get under 10 seconds without looking at my keyboard.

[@possiblyrei]

if you look how fast were you

[@neobaloyii]

Great idea

[@Shockwave_jon]

Dang that roast about ultimate frisbee. Damn I felt that

[@cebo494]

1.674s Typing the alphabet quickly is how I learned to touch type originally, via an old flash game called "finger frenzy" which is basically the same thing as that website. I think my pb was ~1.5, maybe a smidge under

[@a-force6021]

If this is real thats crazy! Grats man! Whats your WMP?

[@cebo494]

@@a-force6021 I'm actually pretty average by comparison for regular typing at around 60-90 words per minute. I can type quickly but I'm sloppy. I make a lot of mistakes so I'm slowed down by needing to backspace and retype a lot. The few times that I've tested my WPM with little to no mistakes though I've gotten around 100-120 wpm, but that's really unrealistic for me most of the time. As I said in my original comment, I am very well practiced at typing the alphabet specifically. Plus, that's only the best of multiple attempts. The majority of my alphabet attempts don't actually succeed.

[@Izz7879]

He eats his vegetables

[@jamooooiii]

I get excited watching this, that’s how I know I’m a real nerd. Love how Andrew roasted Marques though 😂

[@15725867905]

The outdo music is 👌🏼

[@ceylineconnor1531]

these videos cured my insomnia, thank you

[@santhakumarj7760]

OG did not even look at the keyboard 🔥🔥🔥

[@_DBPooper]

ANDREW! Tell your homie he needs a share button.

[@_DBPooper]

4.845!

[@PlayShorts3]

Accidentally found this channel. 👍 I think you should put a link on your channel MKB

[@bubas5972]

fun thing to do for sure. 4.977s on the first try, the ones after that were way slower as well

[@toddbod94]

Typing the alphabet fastest was a flash game on like addicting games or miniclip.

[@SunilPatel-ld3os]

My best on a laptop keyboard is 3.717, though I did try multiple times.

[@palestine2795]

My fasted on my MacBook Pro is 7.59, I'm sure I could knock it down to sub 6 considering I'm still new to this keyboard/laptop.

[@limerickkurniawan8724]

Did you guys still do this? Please let us know the updated leaderboard :)

[@MageThief]

Third time I got Time: 9.967s, think the first time was around 13 and the second was around 11. Normally I'm not a fast typer, when I type fast I always misspell like crazy.

[@SodaPopinski1]

1.471 (on chromebook keyboard if you are wondering)

[@zunaidparker]

Can you show an overhead camera shot of the keyboard and picture in picture of the screen? We really need to see this being typed.

[@therealdwright]

Magic Keyboard, best of 3 was my second attempt with 5.06 seconds - this app needs an accuracy feature though

[@Lunarplex]

Hey what are those books for the mics? They’re super slick. I need them!

[@TejasTharu]

Time: 6.283s || Time: 5.600s || Time: 5.328s || Time: 5.146s || Time: 5.097s || Time: 4.743s || Time: 4.400s

[@timbusta9808]

always when i see the thumbnail i think its linustechtips on the left

[@imtheblindiephoenix]

Am a touch typer. First score was 3.989 seconds, and after 5 tries, got it down t 3.044 secconds.

[@Porgy175]

Ya !

[@therealarien]

My first attempt was 4.6. Dang just missed out!

[@jacobbenson9411]

First try: 5.869 second try: 5.815 third try: 4.929 also on the Keychron. For reference my normal typing speed is around 100 WPM.

[@nicolasgiuristante]

Lol, am I the only one always resetting my score because my brain absolutely want to press enter at the end ?

[@fawncashew]

I had a full 1.5 second gap between a 100% keyboard with mx blues and a 65% with Gateron Browns, honestly wondering why i got a second keyboard for typing given im apparently both slower and less accurate on it. Also removing my watch got me about 0.3 seconds averaged across several attempts, couldn't say why other than maybe it catching on the edge of my desk threw whatever coordination i have off?

[@amontemoment]

5.5 was my best time, also the only time that i didn't mess up

[@aluminium7906]

Right then… time to go through Marquess’s old tech review videos. 🙃

[@Shroomade]

Marques is an alien

[@AlexandreRacine]

8.622s first try, not too bad. No pressure. :P I honestly taught that it would take me 20s.

[@jaydenchundanga6318]

Marques: Ya know we should be able to trust you if you just screenshot your score. Inspect exists Me: ... xDxDxDxDxD

[@emmanuelebole325]

The Alphabet Typing Test Scoreboard [on my laptop] 1st try: 9.873 seconds 2nd try: 8.78 seconds 3rd try: 7.13 seconds. The trick must be like, the brain gets accustomed to what pattern you are trying to set. Is it QWERTY? No. Oh, he's trying the ABCD. Good, let's go. Thanks #WAVEFORM

[@thembamzembe9389]

my best was 8.8 after several attempts. For someone who doesn't type a lot I am happy

[@ExtraD0G]

I tried doing this, every time I get to Q my hand immediately goes to U next cause all Q words are followed by U in English lol.

[@Ted_DiSanti]

the qwerty layout definitely doesn't lend itself to the alphabet due to the spacing between common and uncommon letters/letter combinations, I got a respectable 6.918, but Marques's first time was insane

[@jalabi99]

Ali Abdaal would crush this test

[@EpicAwesomesauce]

I got 8.543s. I'm just happy I got under 10s as someone who doesn't touch-type.

[@EnriquePascual1989]

This should at the Olympics ⌨️

[@Abhishek-ez3ue]

I had really bad scores on my phone's gboard though .. 10.9, 10.5 and 8.9

[@tmnvsv7806]

I think it would make more sense to show time between letters, not a elapsed time. Also maybe a graph would be nice, in numbers it's harder to comprehend how fast I actually am. Other than that, 10/10 idea.

[@grash8]

Graphs = the visual representation of love :D

[@alexj1580]

I got like 2.96. That's with a couple of tries though. Maybe around 10?

[@changedthetag]

1980's - people will drive flying cars in 2020's 2021 - who types A-Z faster 🥵

[@pkwsbaidoo]

Wow very fun got like 11s on my phone I don't have a laptop at hand now guess I gonna try later

[@papakofi]

I did 11.5 on the first try and 9.7 on the third

[@sayididit2930]

Next you gotta do it on a phone keyboard. It's harder I think. Wanna see Marques do it...

[@sayididit2930]

@Tancrède Lefort which phone? I wonder if it would be easier or harder on a Fold...

[@sayididit2930]

@Tancrède Lefort not bad actually

[@simoncrust7718]

my best was about 6.5 seconds in about 5 tries while looking at the keyboard

[@doublextreme360]

Got a 6.397, not bad!

[@jadeng1147]

I’ve been using another type the alphabet game. My overall record is 1.4 seconds.

[@xAstericks]

My fifth try was 4.890, my third try was 5.130. I'm pretty happy with that

[@boas_]

Lol third try I got 5,029 seconds typing the alphabet

[@khubaib-binehsan]

Ok so the palm rest really does makes an impact. My best was 5.009 in like 20ish attempts. But then, i rested my palms and in first attempt got 4.539s 😮

[@enthusiast526]

All their guests are now going to practice at home.

[@ChrisChoi123]

i got 5.30 on my 2nd attempt. pretty proud of it.

[@DerHerrSal]

[@SaltyNotSweat]

I got 12 seconds on the first attempt but that's on muscle memory alone since my key-caps are blank

[@m6isme]

5.710s!!

[@enochoyetunji2163]

My first try was a 6.652 and I got a 5.72 right after

[@slavodzuricko]

5.919 for the first time .. hah .. laptop default keyboard .. funny stuff :)

[@deblimp]

5.8 seconds on the third try. 4.8 on the fourth

[@TheFourthWinchester]

I did 6.9 secs with 2 or 3 finger typing in total. 3 tries. Third one was the best. Second one was 7.5 secs and first one was wrong sequence of alphabets. Edit: Just tried again for the 4th time and got 5.8 secs.

[@SuperMustache555]

In my first three tries, I only got down to 8.322. Now, I'm down to a little over 5 seconds

[@RichardStouder]

8.435.... Way harder than I thought

[@sanket8696]

my first one was 5.315s

[@omarino99]

lol marques took it so seriously

[@V2Slash]

I got a 7.205 on my fastest. Not bad if I do say so myself.

[@jayjerred5965]

my first try was 8 and my second time trying was 6 lol so i got better the second time :p this is cool

[@szn00]

My 3rd try was 9.4:)

[@szn00]

[@cowboys1fan18]

I couldn't beat Marques, got a 5.8 on my 5th attempt, but I did get a 6.553 using only my index fingers.

[@BL4K_B4BIES]

I can't even say out the alphabet under 10 seconds

programmable keyboards could have a macro?

They get a lot of hate. But I LOVE apple keyboards as well.
