How Do You Type?

[DiscordantNote]

As simple as that.

I happen to type using an insanely fast 'chicken peck', hence I only use one finger on each hand. I usually look at the keyboard, but even when I'm not I surprisingly don't have to use the backspace button a lot. it weird people out to see me type sometimes, I guess it looks very bizzare.

super fast when I want to with both hands.
Actually I type fastest if i'm copying something out.
My records like 120 WPM.
... but on average i'm around 90 wpm.
And accurate. I can use the backspace button without needing to look at the keyboard or the screen. I automatically know if i've done something wrong 95 percent of the time.
Makes me happy.

But thats what you get if you've been type in RPGs and chats for like... *ponders* 10 years... oiy. I'm old.

Ok. Both hands. 2 fingers on my right hand for letters, thumb for space bar, pinky for enter key and period. 2 on my right for buttons, one to hold shift.
So pretty much I use both hands.

Both hands. I can type fairly fast. However, I don't know the exact speed.

With both hands...I practiced typing since I was 13 and I have to say I'm pretty fast. about 45-60 wpm(words per minute)

It's a bit complicated. I use my left and right pointer fingers. And my right thumb for space sometimes, but mostly my right finger, because if I use my thumb, I tend to hit it to hard and make a double space. When I need to shift, I use my left middle finger. I type pretty fast in this style. And I don't have to look at the keyboard. I usually look at the screen, and only look at the keyboard if I keep messing up. I use my right hand a lot more, even crossing over to the left side of the keyboard sometimes. Also, I anchor my left hand. I keep my left thumb against the bottom of the keyboard (under the space bar) at all times, while my right hand floats freely.

Touch type? I think that's the correct term. I type with both hands without having to look down. I'm not extremely fast or accurate though, 72 words per min and 81% accuracy. Well, that's what this site says http://www.typingtest.com/

I basically type pretty average. I keep most of my fingers on the right keys lol I type about 50 to 75 wpm. All depends on my mood and whether or not I care about typos.

On average I type about 100-125 WPM. If I am trying to type quickly or doing one of those goofy tests it tends to be a little faster than that. When I was younger I used my two index fingers to hunt around the keyboard, although I didn't actually look at it. Over time I started to let my fingers hover over the "home keys". It's probably from all the touch typing classes I was forced to take in Middle and High School. >.<

I use my index and middle fingers only while typing. My muscles have sorta memorized how to reach each key, so it's easy to type fast this way.

[SpiraLethe]

I'm not too fast. I type with both hands at around 60-100 words per minutes. It varies a lot, depending on how I'm feeling and what I'm typing.

I type the ol' traditional way, at around 90-105 WPM. Like Inrun, I tend to know when I make mistakes and instinctively hit the backspace button.

The exception, and my weakness, is typing numbers (not using the number pad, the numbers above the letters).

[vkceankraz]

I type with both hands, around 60-90 wpm.
Like Chass, I also know when I've made a mistake, without having to look.

[Alex]

That typing test said that I got an average of 82 WPM. I touch type, using both hands, and rarely look at the keyboard now, even when I've made a mistake.

[Igg]

I type with both hands.
I use the first finger of my right hand and the first and second fingers of my left hand. I press the shift key with my left pinky and backspace with my right second and third fingers.
While I tend to look at the keyboard, I don't actually need to, if that makes sense, I just do so out of habit. I don't know my typing speed but that Mavis Beacon thing said it was something like 100-110 WPM.
