One thing that affects your productivity when using a computer is your typing speed. If you’d like to know how you stack up in the typing world, there’s TypeRacer–a wonderfully simple game that pits you up against other typers, and of course your 100-plus key stead.
The goal is to type as well as you can to get your car from point A to point B. All the while you can compete with other users in real time and “race” across the landscape of the English language.
The one nice thing about TypeRacer is that it uses real words. It’s also a stickler about errors, requiring you to go back and make any fixes before continuing the race, keeping lead-finger slopsters from winning based on speed alone.
Editors note: Using this application could increase your typing speed (productivity) while being fun!

I have played this typing game more than once and it’s actually kind of addicting. Although I think it lies sometimes. I doubt I could ever really make it to 90WPM.
