The greek keyboard speedrun strat. The delta looks like an "up" arrow so he can shave off 0.02 seconds and he doesn't need to write the whole word

Honestly, that strat went out the window once we got the ^. No need to waste time using the Greek keyboard exploit, expecially since the top runner was found to be using macros to emulate anyway.

^ needs 2 keypresses, shift+6. You might as well just type "up." Also note that the speedrunner here used a capital i, also an excess keypress, except for the fact that you're allowed to be holding a key down before you start. Just a bit of showing off, I guess.

But if you hold shift since the start you can practically type ^ in 1 press, or in this case 1.5 press would be more appropriate

That would make I WK ∆

Also THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS HALF A SHIFT PRESS!!!

Not if you start with caps lock enabled

No, unless you're using the 5 finger style it's proven a non-dominant stroke is negligible since 6 is in the C1 vector and shift is in in the A4 vector.
