So to try and help settle the debate between rubber and chicklet keyboards, I figured we should collect some imperical data.

Take the test on your rubber keyaboard, post the actual and adjusted rate.
Take the test on your a chicklet keyaboard, post the actual and adjusted rate.
I'm going to say, if you don't have a chicklet kb, just use a regular desktop kb. After all, we are just trying to establish a baseline of your regular speed, vs your rubber speed

I recomend typing the test instructions:
CF29 Rubber 54 wpm, adjusted to 48wpm
Std Kbd 66 wpm, adjusted to 64wpm.

No way in h3ll.

No way I'm posting my abysmal WPM in a public forum for y'all to point and laugh at; ESPECIALLY with the rubber duckie keyboard...
