I've been practicing typing for months and still couldn't get above 130 wpm. My personal best is about 120 only. I am just curious, how am I suppose to get above 130? And btw, what sort of keyboard from Microsoft is best for typing? I am considering to buy a new keyboard instead of using integrated laptop ones.
Microsoft current keyboard offerings are limited. If you have a Computer retailer to goto, Like Microcenter or the like, you can check out different styles of keyboards usually.. Word of warning: The Mechanical Keyboard scene in particular can go pretty deep and their is a Lot of keyboard companies for enthusiasts. from switches, Keycaps, Boards, Programmable layouts. to the Sound they make

I can say its something to try. there is a lot of options. some love the surface keyboard, and switching might not improve much.
But if its going Past 130 and you like typing. being able to customize may help push that, and there your first choice is a board that has low profile switches or normal mech switches. both options have its own ecosystem of sorts, low profile would be the mechanical keyboards answer to laptop scissor switches
also forgot to mention a lot of mechanical keyboards are pretty Robust, switches are really cheap to buy relatively so you can in theory have a keyboard last decades
so really, you have 1 option for microsoft that is really viable. logitect MX i think can compare to the surface as well. but you have 100s for mech keyboards
i do recommend thou, "gaming keyboards" are a more mixed bag with quality. rgb see through keycaps are also a lot thinner and might not feel as good as thicker PBT
