There is a lot of room to move with the USB speedometer. The top speed that it displays is actually faster than the world record. It will also record a daily word count, so if you are getting paid by the word then you have a good way of racking up what you are owed. On the flipside of the equation, I can see these things ending up in data processing centers. It would be a great way for taskmaster bosses to weed out procrastinating workers.

A USB speedometer is a reasonably cool idea, but I think that they should have scaled it differently. I am very happy with pushing 100WPM, it should be at the upper end of the scale, but looks just plain wimpy on this speedometer.

Available soon from Drink Stuff in the UK for about $40
