That'd be very fast. I mean, even without doing real-time composition.

Yeah it's crazy fast, but that's the result from a typing test I took years ago, though it certainly wasn't an hour long, more like a couple minutes. I was so impressed that I now use nothing but the keyboard I used for that test because it let me type so fast (Dell SK-8115, sadly they don't make them anymore and they're getting expensive but I have a couple spares from when they were $20 on Amazon.) It was for a temp agency (a big company was doing their hiring through them, and because they're a temp agency they insisted upon doing the usual intake tests and stuff that they do with all temps), and the woman who ran the agency came down to congratulate me herself, said she'd been in the business 35 years and had never seen anyone type faster.
To be fair though I rarely reach that speed in normal use, most times I manage more like 120wpm, but my point is more that touch-typing/physical keyboard can go much, much faster.
That makes me feel real damn good about my consistent 90-110 on a keyboard. Over half way to the best? Fuck yeah.
