I tried this test with results: 115 WPM, 606 keystrokes, 573 correct 33 mistakes, 119 WPM, 650 keystrokes, 593 correct 57 mistakes, 102 WPM, 566 keystrokes, 511 correct 55 mistakes,

Lots of mistakes :D
Could probably get somewhat better results if I attempted this all day. I never type as fast as in that test I just did, is it the same for you too? I feel there's no reason to do that, to get stressed out and concentrate on typing.

I do if I've got some text in my head and I'm getting it down, i.e. writing. It's times like that I realise how much most keyboards I use suck, and wish I had a Model M here.

They do suck, but you can buy an actual buckling-spring keyboard here.

Highly recommended.
