How do you type?

[SiriusB]

I use 2 hands and sometimes multiple fingers. Usually 2 fingers on each hand though. I can touch type though and I am comfortable and very quick so I wouldn't say I was amateur. Whatever you find easiest/most comfortable in the end.

2 Hands, average 1.5 fingers per hand: when typing: right hand = 2 fingers, left hand 1 finger.

When gaming all fingers tho even thumb.

Maybe if I learnt how to do it properly I would make so many mistakes.

2 Hands - Multiple fingers. I use all the fingers on my left hand and about 3 on my right.

Got 80WPM on that test there.

 

[tom_nieto]

Multiple on both, although only just. It's probably more like 2-3 most of the time.

Oddly more fingers on my right hand than my left.

I'm the opposite, i use my right hand slightly more, my hands rest one key over from where the should be for a pro touch typest.

Both hands and all fingers. Think I was ~90wpm last time I did one of those online test things...

Fact of the day... Did you know the QWERTY keyboard was actually designed to slow typists down? Yup that's right. It was designed in the days of typewriters to reduce "jamming".

2 hands, all fingers / touch typing. always try to keep it graceful and maintain a nice steady flow while i type.

never understand keyboard bashers that think they can churn out text faster if they use more energy.

I'd say that I am an amateur touch-typist because my fingers are all over the place.

I've been using QWERTY keyboards since I was five years old, I know where all the keys are now by touch .
