I reviewed it here https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/zecncm/nongaming_review_logitech_g705/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I wish it had more features, but for my needs it's the still the best i tried

lovely! how's your experience with that logitech mouse? been thinking about getting it, i have a g305 that doesnt feel solid or "quality" enough

Wow, quite a lot to take in lol. Thanks for the advice, I’ll try out the different monkeytype modes. I do actually do a typing course on typing.com which uses punctuation, caps, symbols, etc, and cam still hit 65+, but to be fair the tests are quite short (I’d say 40 secs max). I’ll check out ngrams as well- never heard of them before

We live in a society

That sounds great. I had a g915 but couldn't stand the sound or the feel, returned it and went down this mech board route. My kids like the K6 I first bought, but this split is what I was hoping to find.

It doesn't, but the weight of the case plus the rubber feet on the bottom plus fitting together like a puzzle piece all keep it from moving, so I don't think you need them.

It does not

Does it have magnets or something to hold it together if you choose to push the sides together?

It's closer to a G915 laying flat but slightly higher with the normal keycaps

Not heavy at all. Was surprised how light it was compared to the Q3

It was very comfortable using yesterday while WFH

I've got the barbones waiting for me to put in some silent alpacas and top them with some cherry wob caps. Those caps look great. How does the height compare to your other boards?

Also have a look at german layout please :)

Can I give you some advice? Do not use the "english" setting to practice typing. It only uses 200 words, and it gives a false idea of your true typing speed. Instead, use English 10K, or better still, quotations (Edit - as well as, not in place of), as the former uses a 10,000 word database, and the latter uses punctuation and more a more real world experience. Also, 30 second tests are not a great measure of anything either. At least one minute, or better still, two will give a more accurate idea of your true speed.

Thirdly. If you wish to go fast.... then go slow. If you push for speed, then you make more mistakes, and regularly making mistakes will harm the muscle memory required to be accurate. Chase accuracy, not speed. Speed will come naturally anyway whether you want it or not, but accuracy will not. That has to be worked at. Shoot for accuracy, and always correct mistakes by ctrl+backspacing them out and retyping correctly several times (set freedom mode in Monkeytype). If you were completely accurate, you'd be at 73 wpm already (raw speed).

Practice your ngrams. Disable the sounds though... they are super annoying, and actually put you off LOL. Whoever thought that crappy typewriter sounds, that actually lag behind your keystrokes was a good idea, wants a good talking to :)

Good touch typing relies on ngram muscle memory. Nothing improves your typing like practicing ngrams, backed up by real typing in the real world. If you are unfamiliar with this concept, then you need to realise what it is that makes the human brain able to touch type. It's the ability for humans to recognise patterns. We are very good at it. It's an evolutionary developed trait for survival, but it's what also makes us able to do stuff like this. Take a word... any word, and you will see that it can be broken down into sets of letters that are shared with other words. "Statistically" for example. Stat, ist, ically, are all components of other words, so once your brain has recognised and practiced typing those, it instantly recognises them in other words. It's this skill that allows a competent typist to type any word, even ones they have never seen before, yet still type them as fast and competently as any other word. It also allows fast reading ahead, which is another skill a competent touch typist needs.

Having said that, well done. Touch typing is cool :) Keep up the good work. Take my upvote.

I just got mine 2 days ago. Replaced an old Das Keyboard. Huge improvement for me. I’m really happy with it, I got it assembled with browns. I want to swap switches to something nicer, but if you like the layout, this is amazing for the money.

how does it sound with the integrated case/plate

Typing test?

This is not 70wpm..wpm means “words per minute”. Time should be at least 1 min and use English 5K. It’s more than enough for words most commonly used in daily conversations.

Eh, same colours? Sure. But hard to call it a clone when it's not got the sublegends and zero novelties from the GMK run. Just a budget purple and green set with better kitting than GMK imo

It's alright if your speed will decrease a little on English 10k, but when you'll get comfortable with it and have good accuracy, typing stuff like quotes and English 200 will be so much easier

Yh I’ve seen that recommended quite a lot. Will definitely try it soon

Thanks

Good luck with that! :) I highly recommend practicing on English 10k btw

Nice
