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.

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.

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.


Don't be afraid to see the truth, even if no one wants you to. Be yourself and not a fool. Don't ever be afraid to speak your mind and listen to criticism. Dissent is keeps our country progressive and willingness to challenge yourself is what keeps yourself ever evolving.

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).

Like Chass, I also know when I've made a mistake, without having to look.

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.


Gone, forever.

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.
