From what I gather I type with about 4-5 fingers across both hands, but favor my pointers above all else. Basically I type totally incorrectly, but know the keyboard like the back of my hand and rarely need to look down at it. For how poor my technique is I type fairly quickly and with high accuracy. I do occasionally look at the keyboard, but that's more out of habit than anything else. If I force myself I can type near-perfectly with two fingers only and my eyes glued to the screen.
I just typed a 1000+ word RP post without thinking of my typing once and hammered it out pretty quickly. I think you're on to something.Zachary Amaranth said:In fairness, that's the only reason I thought about it--someone brought it up.Artina89 said:I tend to use all of my fingers on both hands to type (I don't use my thumbs though), and I don't really have to look at the keyboard either.

People teach you to type in school? When was that? Being a long time pc-gamer, forum visitor and having written many essays for my education I pretty much picked up the location of the keys myself. I actually thought this was something everyone just taught themselves. I suppose it is something you have to be thaught if you don't spend so much time on computers (or typewriters, if you are old) so it is understandable that courses on the matter exist.G.O.A.T. said:WITH MY BALLS
Actually, I type basically like they teach you in school. I'm not very fast and have to look when I input numbers but for what I have to do at work, it gets the job done. I did take a class in high school, but then didn't realy tyupe again until I really started doing work with the computers at work.
I used to type with two fingers like that but eventually as I typed more the rest of my left hand did get involved. Maybe at some point I'll use all fingers.[Kira Must Die said:]I use two fingers, one on each hand. Three when holding the shift key. With that said I type pretty fast with them.
I usually don't pay attention to how I type. Looking at my hands now, I apparently have my left thumb pressing against the bottom of the keyboard, locking one hand in place, and my right hand hovering above the keyboard.
We did learn to type with all our fingers in school, but I never got used to it so I just stuck with two.
