You are correct on your guess regarding Xinhau.
My typing speed varies. On mobile Id guess around 7-10 wpm. On a PC I top out around 110 for text statements when going for speed, but typically stay in the range of 85-90.

110 Gadzooks! Do you use a special keyboard or something ?
No. Simple QWERTY and I havent splurged on a mechanical with the keys I like. I also think the belief that Dvorak layouts are faster than QWERTY is a myth. Maybe Workman layout as it seeks balance, but not worth it for me to spend time training for comparison.
I can't break 60 , I can't imagine 90 even . I suppose the muscle memory is the biggest thing. Do you have any tips ?
I guess some is muscle memory of patterns for word parts to flow faster.
Im lucky that I started over a summer when I was in school fearing I wouldnt be able to type and managed to be the fastest typist in my school at the time as a result.
Three tips...
- practice practice and never look at the keys
- mix it up with typing games. Theres actually fun ones now.
- relax and flow like the weave
