What is a good free typing teaching game/program?

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

What is a good free typing teaching game/program?

Post by Aspirer »

So my college instructor advised learning how to type *correctly*, because we will need to type quickly in class. My henpecking (at 50 wpm xD) just isn't going to cut it. I tried searching for a keyboarding game, but just the URL's look suspicious for the sites that turn up, I won't visit them. Does anyone know of any good, preferably free keyboarding games/applications? If it were a game, I'd play that shit all the time!

My favorite game ever. I'll challenge you anytime!

P.S. Fixed the typo in your title as it was just too ironic. 8-)

I wasn't aware I made a typo, what was it?
