Default How do YOU arrow?

I've been wondering something for a while, and I want to ask an open question so I can get some ideas.

I used to play one-handed, and that worked for a while, but I realized that I was missing out on the harder songs, so I switched to two-handed (four-fingers). That's been working out very well for me, and I've progressed fairly well in my ability to do more and more difficult songs.

I saw Arch0wl's (in?)famous video of him AAA'ing Quasar using just his index fingers (indexing). So I tried to learn how to index, but I hated it, so I just went back to four-finger. The problem now is I'm having a bit of trouble with doubles using the arrow keys. My fingers all bunched up so it's hard to get everything when I see it. I can read the arrows and understand what I'm supposed to push, but I can't get all of them.

I thought at first that maybe it was because my arrow keys were worn out from so much use, so I got a new keyboard (I had been needing a new one anyway). But when I got the new keyboard, it didn't really help much. That's when I heard someone talking about a spread set, or at least that's what they called it. So now I have my left and down keys on B and N and my up and right keys on 8 and 6, respectively. Arms father apart = less bunched up = more accuracy. This is working well, and I'm starting to see myself improving a little bit.

Now, my question is, how do you have your keys set up to play? Do you play one-handed, two-handed, index? Also, what would you say are the pros and cons of playing any way?

Long post, I know. I'm a bit of a rambler.
