Poll: How many fingers do you use for typing?

[Wuming]

all 10 of them! i used to use only 3 or 4.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Thought I used 8+2 thumbs, but it seems I am not ever using the left thumb, so 8finger 1thumb/9 total.

 

[Elledan]

All 10.

It's the most efficient way, and else I wouldn't be able to type more than 300 characters per minute like I do now

Fingers?

 

[konichiwa]

8, I don't use my thumbs. But I still type very fast.

 

[tomcat]

well I guess we will find out while I type this.. yep looks like while I use my right pinky I never use my left pinky.. hmm this is going to bug me in the future.. Time to use that left pinky for ctrl of caps or something..

TESTING

I have no Idea. its hard to count and type... I do use my thumb for the space bar though. (maybe 5-8 fingers)

 

[Raspewtin]

i use my thumbs only for the space bar, otherwise 8

 

[Harvey]

All of them. I've played the piano since I was five, and I took typing in the 8th grade, a long time ago, when computers were rooms full of vacuum tubes and programmed with patch cords (really).

 

[Pretender]

most of the time - about 6. I use up to 9, my left thumb almost never gets used, my right thumb always beats it to the spacebar.

 

[Mday]

9 usually...

well, let's see, i am typing now...

um....

seems like 7

my left thumb, and right pinky and ring finger are not really typing...

 

[troglodytis]

well....
for shprt little things i use about 2-5, but the more and more i type the more figners get involve and i end up working around to all of them.

never learned how to 'type'....so i just hit the key i want with whatever is close to it as my hands float over the keyboard(sometimes they overlap a little).

the main downside is that i have to look at the keyboard as i type, but i usualy find all the typos as i make themand can edit on the fly with out looking(spelling errors is another story).
