do you use the right-side Shift key?

[Snapster]

All the time

 

[DnetMHZ]

Yes, frequently.

I'm right handed. I use both. How else do you produce capitals of the left side letters?

Left Shift + Letter

I find that using the right shift plus 'a' can get my hands out of position easily.

 

[ViviTheMage]

just as much as the left one....

 

[Tremulant]

Quite often.. it'd be weird if it wasn't there.

 

[seemingly random]

Yes. The right control and the right alt keys also.

However, I never use the insert key.

 

[actuarial]

I'm left handed and it's the only one I use!!!

 

[0roo0roo]

i had to type a bit to remember which one i used lol just don't think about it normally, but its true, i use the right shift key more. but i seem to need both. i grab the one that is more comfortable.

 

[clamum]

Nope, I always use the left. I may have used the right shift key when I was taking typing classes in school but I must've dropped it at some point because it seems really weird if I try to use it now.

 

[skace]

I voted no because I never use it in games, then I opened notepad and started typing and realize that I use it constantly =/

 

[0roo0roo]

now that i think about it i used to have a smaller sony laptop with a single key sized right shift key instead of a bar. it bugged the @%# out of me.

 

[mugs]

Never. If I have to type a capital A, Z or Q I hit the shift key with my pinky and the letter with my ring finger.

 

[meltdown75]

eh, not too often

 

[Farang]

I was going to answer "I forgot it was there" but as I typed this I realized I do use it. Interesting.. mostly for I's.

I use both. I usually use the left shift for my left handed keys and the right for the right handed.

While the Windows key is not a standard item, I the right one on many keyboards as it allows for a one handed Windows-L (lock workstation)

 

[SonnyDaze]

I used the Left Shift key to type this. I never use Right Shift.

Look at all these bad typists who don't use proper typing procedure. You can't type Baked w/o the right shift key!

Apparently you can. I use the left shift key exclusively. Is it correct? Maybe not, but I get by without using Right Shift.

 

[Modular]

This could be the first time I've used it in years.

i used it as my ventrilo ptt key for a long time, but it conflicts in WoW with hotkeys. so, i dont really use it at all in games anymore, but i do use it at work...

 

[edro]

I have never used it.

I used it to write this message and it feels retarded.

i had to look to realize theres a win key on the right side of a standard keyboard, lol... i never even noticed it was there.

If I'm not mistaken you're suppose to use the left shift for right handed keys and the right shift for left handed keys. This helps keep all your fingers properly aligned so your accuracy and speeds improves.

Not only do I type Baked with the left shift key, I use my right index finger to type the B. My name starts with Br, so I've just always used my right hand to type B. That's one reason I don't like MS Natural Keyboards. It'd be nice if they had the B on both sides. It's really the same distance from the F and the J, so it can be typed just as easily with either hand.
