While paying attention to typing this, I noticed I used every finger (bar thumbs). Quite funny since I never really noticed before. What about with you?

All four fingers on the left. on the right just the index and middle finger, but my little finger is used for space or shift. Same goes for my left hand. Sometimes I might use my right thumb for space. The advantage of using the left hand for most of the typing (especially the vowels) is that it measn you can type very quickly while also holding down shift with your right without slowing down your typing, and you are able to press space and enter with the same ease!

It's a technique I developed myself, but an very effective one!

My technique has to be altered when typing with one of those, though not drastically!

I've learnt to cope, though I find it less comfortable.

Used to be my four finger on my right hand when I first starting posting here with my older account, but I eventually learned to extend my typing to my right hand. I USED TO TYPE SO SLOW.

Amazing what the internet can teach you.

I generally use my index fingers, but not always. I've used them often enough to become very quick when typing... except for when I make mistakes, because I always go back to them if I see any.

I type properly (resting your fingers on the home row, and thumbs on the space bar), with all my fingers, and my thumbs on the space bar.

Typing with a band is one hell of an achievement.

Well minus the drummer, we couldn't get him to stop drooling.

Probably a good thing as drummers like to hit things hard and he may have broken the keyboard!

I type the 'proper way' they taught us in school.

I was an awful typist until I worked as a student worker doing medical transcription one summer.

That really helped me type better. :)

On my left I use all of my fingers, and on my right I don't use my thumb. Yahoo messenger was my teacher back when they had chat rooms :P
