How many people out there type the way you're "supposed" to?

Ditto... thanks to my freshman keyboarding teacher in high school and years and years of practice 😀

I type with all my fingers(mostly not the pinkies, though) faster than most people could type the "real" way...150 WPM, bitch. 😎 🙂

I dont type properly, and I don't look at the keyboard, I use a couple different fingers to type, 2 index fingers, thumb, left ring finger, right pinky, I have a very unconventional style of typing, but I do it well. 🙂

I type almost the way I'm supposed to. I don't use the proper fingers for non-letter keys. I use the number pad for numbers and middle or index fingers for ", '. >/ \ = - etc

me too, most things I can get but have to glance for reference a lot....

I use the home keys and use all of my fingers.

I use Mavis Beacon Teaches typing for about 3 weeks and was up to about 30wpm but with about 80% accuracy. After more practice and such I'm 60-80wpm+.

So I use all the keys and the numbers on the top row and the punctuation marks. It was a complete slag at first, got craps and bad stiffness in my arms having them at the angle and position all the time.

Now I can type hunt and peck, too much time!

I get mine in the 100wpm, and I type with my index fingers on the f and j buttons.

I hate it when I get a crap in my arm.

Well I type around 75WPM ... however i dont have the proper "form" on my QWERTY keyboard ...

on my Dvorak keyboard ... I type a bit slowwer, but I'm still getting used to it ...

Depending on my health on a given day, I can hunt and peck 50 - 200wpm (usually around 100). Haven't been timed on it in about 4 years now, though (four years ago was when I had my one and only typing class--I just couldn't beat 50wpm the "right" way)..

Yeah I hit the z key with my index finger lol, but manage around 80 or so words per minute.

hunt and peck 4 life yo!

 

[FuZoR]

i type the proper way. though i never understood why the fingers you sit on asdf jkl; , one has a semicolon wouldn?t it be easier if that was a letter lol. eh who knows.

the #s on top of the keyboard... well i can't type that for crap i usally press 4,7,6 when im trying to press 5... That's what i get for C&P in keboard class hahaha ;-) but i can use the numberpad without looking 🙂

I type in my own screwed up style.

The wife calls me a pecker sometimes, but I'm not sure if she's referring to my typing because most of the time she says it, I'm not even around the computer.

 

[RossMAN]

I type about 90% the proper way.

When I begin typing I have to glance at the keyboard to make sure that I'm on the ASDFG row of keys.

After that I tear up the keyboard, unfortunately my accuracy sucks but I do type fast.

I took typing for 4 years in high school, it was an easy grade and lots of girls.

I never thought I would use it, but now Im very happy I did.😀

 

[Konigin]

I know how to type the way I'm supposed to, but I don't always do it the right way.

 

[Demosthenes]

I used to be a rebel typer but then one day I just bit the bullet and starting typing how you're "supposed" to. hah you know after some practice and about 20 extra wpm faster, I'm pleased.
