How do you type? - Page 2

Cen, I press C with my index finger too...my typing style is a bit wierd, I guess, I've changed a few things.

GAHH it was so annoying...you know how on a lot of keyboards, there's little nubs on the F and J key so you know where to put your index fingers? I use those alot, because I don't look down when I'm typing or anything, and those tell me where my fingers are. Well, my friend had a really old keyboard, and the nubs were on the D and K keys. Imagine how insanely disconcerting that was.

Ditto.

Before I had a microsoft natural keyboard, my Right Index had annexed the "B" key.

I remember back in junior school when computers still sucked, they were teaching us how to type and before then I was so worried I would never learn how to. Now just look at me go!! Weee!!!

whats wrong with that? usually i use my left index finger to press the 'y' key. but other than that i type the real way

Privateer · 01-20-2004, 07:51 PM

In second grade (AOL 3.0 lol), I typed the correct way, so there's your answer. I naturally type about 120 WPM. But, "officially", it's around 105.

I type with 10 fingers in no particular fashion. They would always try to teach me in elemtary school to type with the homerow thing. By middle school I could type 100+ words per minute and all those typing games only went to 80. Now I can type at 120-130 wpm at best.

In your face homerow keys. It's like trying to put your feet back in the middle of the dance mat instead of just going to the next arrow.

Mulie · 11-26-2010, 02:55 AM

I don't think the "correct way" is any better than any more personally familiar method (where you don't need to look at the keyboard) unless you are at a very high level of comfortable typing (150 wpm+), have very dexterous, probably large hands, and want to become even faster.

I use the "hunt and peck", without the hunting or pecking... and my WPM is a consistent ~130 =x

edit

Two hands, two fingers. That's not the "correct way".

**rushyrulz** · 11-26-2010, 04:01 AM

That was a bump of epic proportions.

home row ftw. And I get 100-120 WPM doing it.

Aldentron · 11-26-2010, 05:08 AM

All caps no grammar no punctuation all day erry day

**EnR** · 11-26-2010, 05:24 AM

I use my middle fingers ONLY.

freekilltwo · 11-26-2010, 07:06 AM

depends on how serious i am at the time, i normally use a slightly "tweeked normal typing" where i use diffrent fingers to hit some keys than what middle school tried to teach me, other days its a not quite hunting and pecking "and other days i spend teaching myself how to type with 1 hand so i can do something like take a drink

**Cavernio** · 11-26-2010, 07:37 AM

All my fingers on my right, thumb and pinky on my left because my other fingers essentially non-existant. (Well, my pinky is non-existant too, but I use that entire side of my hand really. It's amazing how much more flexible my wrist and hand are on my no-fingers hand compared to my right.) I find that I'm much, much faster at typing words I use all the time too. One girl in highschool did a speech about her brother and how he coped without hands or fingers or something, and he typed at a decent speed using his toes. Awesome. Especially since physiologically it should be much more difficult, because not each individual toe is innervated like our fingers are.

**phe0nixblade** · 11-26-2010, 09:07 AM

mang i saw creepyboris posting and i was like wait what and checked the date, 2004 fuccen justaguy dumbass

**ichliebekase** · 11-26-2010, 11:00 AM

My option isn't in the poll, I use index, middle and ring fingers while typing letters and when it comes to using the backspace or enter or punctuation, I'll use my right pinky. And derp my thumbs for the space bar, but mainly my left one.

**HoneyMelonCalibrator** · 11-26-2010, 11:04 AM

I type the correct way. There is a correct way to type, and that's with all ten fingers. I get annoyed with people who either type with one/two fingers. Or people who have to constantly look up and then back down while typing.
