Depends on context. If I'm flat-out typing, I use the left shift key. But sometimes when I edit or touch-up a chat message, I use the arrow keys, and then I usually just roll from right shift to / in one motion.

So, mostly left, but occasionally right.

Both, depending on which is easier in the situation.
If I'm doing full double handed typing, usually left I think, as i have one hand on each side of the keyboard.
If I'm typing one handed, usually right, as I can hit both keys with one hand that way (so obviously it's easier).
But it depends on the situation.

is the world flat?

Right.

I use my ring finger to press shift and then hit the / with my index finger. However, when I'm just typing a / I hit it with my ring finger.

right.. I push the / key with my index finger and the shift with my middle and fourth finger.

I just tried that. That's a weird way of doing it.

yea, same here. thats a bit odd. i am used to having my fingers on the asdf jkl; position. doing it your way will mess up the positioning.

your way: ????????? (odd)

my way (left pinky on /, right pinky on shift) : ????????? (my way much better?

:D

?

Left mostly, I think I use right sometimes, but rarely. Who knows?

On the other hand, I do use the Right Shift key when I need to type something using my right hand, and viceversa, not sure if that's proper or not.
