New keyboard setup: 1-hand 4-finger

T0rajir0u · 11-26-2005, 06:53 PM

I'm pretty sure almost nobody's ever tried this fingering before

So, the basic idea is you reconfigure your keys to a set of keys that naturally fits your thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. So far I've come up with Rightarrow-Numpad4-Numpad5-Numpad6 and Spacebar-J-K-L for the right hand. The basic idea is that you'd be able to use a separate finger comfortably for every key, but you'd still only be using one hand!

Now, one of the reasons I mention this is that I've been looking for a way to make playing Doubles more convenient for non-onehanders, and I think a 2-hand 8-finger setup would be way easier for a 2-hand 6-finger setup. (I really don't think peope in the SM community play enough Doubles.)

Comments? Scores? (I'd love to see some scores, lol.)

I use my thumb as well, though with the default arrow keys. The down arrow is shared by my thumb and middle finger, depending on the upcoming pattern.

It's served me well, though I find that the time taken to get used to a key setup is more important than the specific setup that you use.

Freak83 used 8426 for his setup waaaayyyy back in the day. 4 was index finger, 8 was middle finger, 6 was ring finger, and 2 was thumb.

I've tried that when I play num at times, and it's really really had to keep a good PA.

Thumbs? Proposterous!
I use my pinky whenever I have to use 4 fingers.
Index for left arrow, middle for down arrow, ring for up arrow, pinky for right arrow.
