I use a 5 finger hunt and peck at 120+ words per minute. I guess it isn't hunting because i know where every key is in the dark, but yea...

I type normally except I never use the right shift key. I hit q, a, z with my left ring finger if I need any of those 3 letters capitalized.

I jizz all over the keyboard with my huge penis. It's the best way to type. Imagine how I play FFR.

nay, good sir. To achieve a penis fit for typing it must be firm yet flaccid enough to bend. Medication would just make life hell for you.

I utilize the PROPER WAY of typing (Mavis Beacon I guess) with my fingers on the home row and space bar. I mostly used Kid's Typing when I was younger and I found it quite enjoyable. This style of typing is very effective. I type ridiculously fast.

Oh yeah. The poll. Ok, I type with most of my fingers. Sometimes I stretch them out at weird angles. But, lately my hand's still been messed up. No physical therapy so it's not healing right. So, I type with all my fingers on the right and my thumb for my left. Same when I play FFR.

Out of curiosity, who even uses the right shift key? I thought everyone just used the left shift, or is it a personal preference?

I use the right shift key more than the left. I guess it just depends on one's preference.

EDIT: Oh, and my thumbs to hammer the space bar.
Mostly the same with me, but I don't bother to use the ring finger.

Even using this method of typing, it's easy to hit 60+ WPM; not impressive for a seasoned "home row" typist, but considering some people who type properly don't type that fast, it's not bad.

Checking
Mostly with my index, middle and ring fingers. Thumbs for the spacebar and moving around using the arrow keys.

I learned to type not from Mavis Beacon, as she was a huuuugggee bitch when I would futz up. I bought "The Typing of the Dead" for Dreamcast, a keyboard, and a board to go on my lap so the keyboard would not descend into the gelatenous mess that, at the time, were my thighs - which are now carved out of oak and marble and other such substances that you may find hard and unbreakable. The pressure of an oncoming zombie attack was more than enough to teach me to type effectively, even if I'm still a turrible spleerler.

This post took less than 3 seconds to write.
