All 10, though I use thumbs only for the lowest row of keys (alt/space/alt gr/arrows...)

How can you not use all your fingers??? Oh wait, hey, WTF, now that I'm typing this I realize that I'm not using my right pinky. That's weird, guess I never really thought about it before.

Nine, the right hand thumb is hardly used. I mostly use my left hand thumb on space bar.

8 or 9. I never use my left thumb, sometimes I leave out my last fingers as well....

9. I don't use my right pinky. I've discovered that a couple of weeks ago, and now I am trying to get it to hit the P key. But it takes so much longer compared with typing with my other fingers.

9 1/2, sometimes i'll use my right hand thumb and sometimes I won't, I do use all the others though.

I am still too lazy to learn to touch-type, even though I type all the time. I need to pick up a copy of &quot;Typing of the Dead,&quot; which looks like the first typing tutor violent enought to hold my interest! I use 9 fingers, as I prefer to use my left thumb on the space bar.

all 10 I guess . . . I don't know how I could type with any less. I oughta be like the guy in Ghost in the Shell, my fingers all split up each to give me about 100 &quot;fingers&quot; to type even faster.
