Which finger do you use to push the spacebar?

Personally, I use the good old right thumb. But I've known people who use their left thumbs, and I've tried that and it's really hard to type as fast. The right thumb is just a reflex now.

Left thumb. I had to test it by writing a sentence because I never really think about it.

Hmm, let me just try it out here... *tries it out*

Okay, apparently I use my right index finger... I haven't realized that until now.

Had to test this out, and I use my left thumb or my right index finger depending on which letter the word ends with.

My second finger on my right hand.

The spacebar is more worn out on the right side than on the left, so probably the right thumb.

Whatever thumb is not in my ass at the moment. why?

I've gotten used to using my left thumb because it's the finger I use to jump in most FPSs. :p

Xander

Uhh lemme see. I seem to use the left but now it feels weird thinking about it cos I've never noticed before! Yeah.....left cos my right hand moves more... or something.

It's not so weird if you only type with your index fingers. xD Like me :mog:

Nearly exclusively my right thumb. Using any other finger is just sheer lunacy.

My thumbs are elevated about half an inch over the keyboard at all times during typing. My right thumb hits the space bar more often than my left thumb does, but if Mr. Right Thumb is otherwise engaged, Mr. Left Thumb picks it up and runs with it.

It is a cooperative effort between both of my thumbs. I am glad they get along so well.

Although sometimes I use my face.

Well after testing it out, I use my right index finger. :bigsmile:

hmm I dunno... I use both really. xD And sometimes even my right index finger. xD

I think it really depends on what I'm typing... I tend to type correctly with my left hand, and my right hand only uses one finger... probably because the more commonly used letters are situated under the left hand, it learned to type correctly naturally...

I use my wrist. Since I don't use the regular hand placement. I micro with one hand.

Thumb=Alt
Index=S
Middle=E
Ring=R/T
Pinkie=Y

That way, it's convienient when I'm doing something else. I'm always angled to a TV to my left. So...

It appear I use my left thumb, for very much the same reason that Yams also does.

Do you have small hands? I can't for the life of me hit the space bar with my wrist using that set-up.

It's more like the extreme bottom right of my palm.

Apparently, I use my right thumb. I think we learned in keyboarding that you're supposed to alternate? Whatever

I hit the space bar with my right thumb or my left index finger.

I usually use either one of my thumbs. It changes quite frequently.

mooglebunni608
10-17-2006, 09:55 PM
usually my left thumb. Or my right one. I alternate between the two ^_^

I use my right thumb, I noticed how many people type the letter 'b' with their left index finger, I find it strange. It is kind of in the middle though.

Both or either. I am not too sure, I guess it depends on how I am typing. *pays attention as typing this.* My right thumb mostly.

I use my right index finger, and I didn't even realise that was the case.

I think I type b with my right index finger. yep, I do.

10-18-2006, 12:04 AM
I alternate. I hit the spacebar with whichever thumb is not on the hand I last used to hit a key.

Hmm. I had to push the reply button to see which one it was... Right thumb wins.

Araciel

good ol' right thumb... my right hand stays stationary and my left hand roams i think i only use my index to type anything on my left....yup

It's not so weird if you only type with your index fingers. xD Like me :mog:It's the only way to type, baby. :love: Well, the ring/pinky comes into it when backspace, return or shift come into play, but there we go.

Left thumb.

I haven't really thought about it before. But since I'm typing this sentence right now, I guess I use the left thumb.

xD But now I'm really self-concious about which thumb I use.

My left thumb. It just feels so wierd to me using my right...

Jess
10-18-2006, 12:39 AM
I use both my thumbs and both my index fingers, whatever finger is closest to the spacebar at the time, really. :jess:

I can't even remember anymore...ah Jesus, I use my right MIDDLE finger. :eek: Weird. And I always have. My thumbs hang limp and useless in the whole typing...thing. xD It feels so weird to use your thumb. Index finger isn't so bad.

This portion of my post is written normally, with my left thumb.

This is written wi th my right and it's a little erratic and takes me longer to type and my left thumb sometimes comes in as reflex. :(!

I'll tell you after this... I use both thumbs so yeah.

Alternativly :/

I use my right thumb, but sometimes I go down with my left index.

Dr Unne

Left thumb. My right hand is too used to sitting on the arrow keys when I use vim / games. Vim is probably also the reason I only ever use the right shift key. :wq

Ooo, I use my right thumb.

My left thumb just kinda floats above the spacebar while my right one like, sits on it. WEIRD.

Left thumb because I just do ok? STOP HASSLING ME.
