Question 1

Is TypingHub free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, TypingHub is completely free to use. You can access all 720+ exercises across 18 programming languages, along with basic statistics like WPM and accuracy tracking, without even creating an account. While we plan to offer a premium plan in the future, the core features will remain free forever.

Question 2

Can I use TypingHub to practice on a split keyboard?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! TypingHub was built with split keyboard users in mind. Whether you're using a Moonlander, ErgoDox EZ, Keyball, or Corne, you can focus on the symbol input ({} [] () <> etc.) that tends to be the most challenging on split layouts. Our exercises use real programming code, making the transition to your new keyboard layout much smoother.

Question 3

I struggle with symbol input on my HHKB or 60% keyboard. Can TypingHub help?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! HHKB, Keychron, Poker, and other 60% keyboards have different symbol key positions compared to full-size keyboards, which can be confusing at first. TypingHub lets you repeatedly practice with code that includes common programming symbols (curly braces, brackets, parentheses, semicolons, etc.), so your fingers naturally learn the new positions.

Question 4

Which programming languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support 18 languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C, C++, C#, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, Dart, Scala, Lua, R, and Haskell. Each language has 5 difficulty levels from Beginner to Master, with over 720 exercises in total.

Question 5

What is WPM and what's a good typing speed?

Accepted Answer

WPM (Words Per Minute) measures how many words you can type in one minute. While the average for general typing is 40-60 WPM, programming code with its many symbols typically sees speeds of 30-50 WPM. TypingHub measures your WPM and accuracy after each practice session so you can track your improvement over time.

Question 6

Can I use TypingHub without creating an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can play all exercises without signing up. However, to save your practice results, track your progress history, and participate in rankings, you'll need to log in with your GitHub or Google account. Login takes just one click, so we encourage you to try it!

Question 7

How is TypingHub different from other typing practice sites?

Accepted Answer

TypingHub is the only typing practice service designed exclusively for engineers. While typical typing sites focus on regular text, TypingHub uses exercises based on real programming code with a strong focus on symbol input mastery. It also features support for split keyboard and US layout transitions, plus a VSCode-style editor UI that closely mimics your actual coding environment.

Question 8

I just switched from JIS to US layout. Can I use this for practice?

Accepted Answer

It's the perfect practice tool for that transition! Switching from JIS to US layout significantly changes symbol positions (like @, &, (, ), =, + etc.). TypingHub lets you practice repeatedly with code containing these symbols, helping you efficiently master the US layout. Many users report getting comfortable with their new layout within 2-3 weeks of practice.
