Don’t have the guts to compete in Ultimate Fighting? Perhaps you’ve got the skills for the Ultimate Typing Championship!

Think you can type? Now’s your chance to jump in the ring — err, take a seat at your keyboard — and go head-to-head with the fastest typists around. Put your fierce typing skills to the test for a chance to win $2,000 and be crowned the first-ever Ultimate Typing Champion.

The action is online and it’s asynchronous so you could enter the competition whenever you’re ready and you don’t have to go anywhere to do it, unless you make it to the finals which are in Austin, TX.

There’s a leaderboard up with semifinalists from previous rounds of competition. Check the calendar for upcoming events. Perhaps they’ll hold another competition after the current one finishes.

The event is sponsored by daskeyboard.

These guys sell keyboards with blank keys. They also have normal ones, but the real draw to me is the gold-plated mechanical key switches, and I like my keys to make the click click sound!

…provide tactile and audio feedback making typing a pure joy. Once you start typing, the tactile and audio clicks create positive reinforcing feedback. It makes typing fun and addictive.
