How fast can you single tap triples? 280 BPM
How about longer streams? 240 BPM
Have you tried more than 1 keyboard, which one was better? I've tried the Logitech G110 rubber dome keyboard, as well as my laptop's keyboard, and a very old IBM mechanical keyboard. The IBMl was by far the best, the G110 was pretty good, and the laptop one is decent.
What keys do you single tap with? The Z key

For VERY fast deathstreams (Think 500 BPM, which I'm pretty sure isn't rankable), I can hypertense my arm to the point of vibration and pass the stream, albeit a bit inaccurately.

I like how nobody mentions what type of BPM, 1/2, 1/4 or maybe even 1/1 lol. Just a number can imply it's 1/1.

How fast can you single tap triples? 150-160 BPM triples all 300s.
How about longer streams? 1/4 notes at 130 BPM with high accuracy, I can tap faster, but accuracy suffers.
Have you tried more than 1 keyboard, which one was better? Quick Fire TK blue switches > old rubber dome keyboard > laptop keyboard.
What keys do you single tap with? X.

Single-tapping is usually given in 1/4 beats because it gives numbers that are easy to understand (usually between in the 100-250 range, even for alternating). People instantly understand how fast 150 BPM (implied: 1/4) is, but it'd be hard to understand what 600 BPM 1/1 is.

You have a point.

Most of us mean 1/4, I thought it's obvious.

As for the map that you posted, I guess you could single tap it. But why bother singling it when it's much easier, and probably more stable, to alternate

Intresting, I've always found single tapping a lot easier and more accurate as long as you can keep up with the speed. No wonder people start alternating early, if it's more accurate for most people.

Passing it isn't streaming 500bpm, that's just passing 500bpm. You stream 500bpm once you hit them all (and you probably mean 1/2)

But don't you think that even surviving 250bpm 1/4 by single tapping is nearly impossible? Most people can't even pass Mad Machine by alternating, and that's only 20bpm faster.

I always thought I was an above average single tapper, but according to this thread everyone is better than me.

I only single tap when the distance is too hard to alternate or when the bpm is under 120 bpm.

How fast can you single tap triples? 120 bpm 1/4 stream (240 bpm 1/2)
How about longer strems? Up to 109 bpm 1/4 stream up to 9-12 pretty accurately (maybe 1-2 random 100, I can't aim properly on streams while hitting), I'm able to do up to 120 bpm, but I always feel more safe alternating in something in 110 or higher.
Have you tried more than 1 keyboard, which one was better? Laptop keyboard
What keys do you single tap with? V, index

How fast can you single tap triples?
how fast i can single tap them? no clue, probably pretty high, i wouldnt be surprised if i could do 180 bpm, but i only do it when its like below 120 bpm.
How about longer streams?
depends on how long, i can single tap 140-145 bpm 1/4 if its like 10 notes at most, but when it gets into the 20-30+ i cant go much higher than 120 bpm
Have you tried more than 1 keyboard, which one was better?
well, i didnt try different keyboard, i just bought new keyboards sometimes, and i never really compared them, i just started playing with the new one.
What keys do you single tap with?
z, middle finger

also at the discussion above, i normally talk in 1/2 notes aswell, but since these questions are specifically about single tapping streams it makes sense to use the 1/4 speed

and at the song in the OP, i did those with alternating and i got 2x 100 on it.
i did this map singletapping tho, which is 140 bpm https://osu.ppy.sh/b/162994

Yeah, I was talking about 1/1.

Should've mentioned.

[img]How fast can you single tap triples? I never singletap triples faster than 130 bpm
How about longer streams? Could happen on 130 bpm or below, but I just don't see the point in trying when I don't drop accuracy from using 2 keys.
Have you tried more than 1 keyboard, which one was better? a filco redswitch and a blackwidow ultimate. Filco is miles better by build and red switches beats anything else I've tried, including brown.
What keys do you single tap with? I rotate constantly using either Z or X. I sometimes supply with mouse clicks.[/img]

I think you're talking about 1/2

Or else you're really slow

I'm not a std player, but:
How fast can you single tap triples? Near 170 1/4, but I can't keep doing that consecutively (assuming that the "triples" are in 1/4s)
How about longer streams? Alternate.
Have you tried more than 1 keyboard, which one was better? Nope, I only have one.
What keys do you single tap with? From my config of S and D, I singletap with D. Sometimes I switch to S too.

I am...
