I started using Mavis Beacon at a very early age. So,  I use all ten fingers and am fairly quick at moving around the keyboard.

I type properly.

Since you asked though, I started analyzing my typing technique and now I'm having some difficulty typing. I think I need to go to make some food or something so I forget that you asked this and I can start typing normally again. :E~~

Take a class!  I took a class back & it still took 2.5 years to get the speed up. I don't think I could handle just chicken pecking with a couple of fingers.  Learning to type on a keyboard sort of reminds me of learning how to play a musical instrument.

8. I use the middle three fingers on both my hands to type letters, my left thumb to press the space, and my right little finger to press shift.

I didn't notice this part of the question. Yes, I do have a suggestion for this:

TYPING OF THE DEAD.

TYPING OF THE DEAD 2. (it exists, even though Giant Bomb doesn't list it. It's a Japan only release.)

Get them. Play them. There is nothing better than shooting zombies to death by typing.

edit:

Seriously, look at this, this is fucking awesome:



Type the fuck out of that chainsaw zombie!

on left hand => middle finger dominates the left half of the keyboard

on right hand=> index finger domnated the right half of the keyboard

right ringer finger hits the Backspace
left thumb hits the Space sometimes


the rest of my fingers arent strong enough to join in.

And yes, OP, your fingers seem missed up :P

I use all fingers to their full potential. I type 450-500 characters (bout 80 words) in a minute.

I was taught to use all, but I ended up reverting to my two indexes and left thumb. All things considered, I'm still a rather fast typer and have received compliments from people on my quick fingers. They are also doubly impressed (if not terrifired) for I type almost as fast as I talk in person, or so people say.

I completely agree. In 5th and 6th grade we had to take mandatory classes. I still, as I previously posted, only use three fingers now, but in the classes I was pretty decent. If anything, the classes helped me to improve my speed and memorize where each key is. I am not looking at the screen as I type this. I think I make more typos than the average non-chicken pecker, and therefore have to backspace more, but I type rather fast, so I don't mind for the most part. I also have extra patience for it all when I am on a forum, because I like making no typos (who does?) and proofread my posts a couple of times or so before I send them.

As many as people generally use for touch typing I guess. Except I don't tend to use my left thumb at all is what I noticed while typing this out. So... nine.

I've tried to go back to pecking after teaching myself to type with all 10 fingers, and it feels so weird now.

I use I guess all 10. I'll use my four on each hand to type. And I'll switch between thumbs for the space bar.

I typed this message with two fingers, really fast hunt and peck style.

I can also type with all ten fingers, but I can type so fast with two fingers I usually don't bother.

Same thing here, I can go up to 3 or 4 but that's my fastestn way.

All of them (yes, both thumbs, they work interchangebly)

I actually learned to type efficiently when I took a computer course in middle school, and the teacher put black paint over the keys on the keyboard, so we HAD to remember which keys to type, and with which finger. It worked. Much better than in elementary school.

How would you do it? I can't imagine using anything else. Also people who only use two must type slow, I just tried it now and it's really uncomfortable.

I have all of them on the keyboard in proper typing fasion, but I guess technically I'm only hitting the space bar with my right thumb while the left one kind of hovers above it.

All of them, I took a typing class in high school and Ive been typing that way ever since. The one I use the least tho is my left thumb, most of the time I just use my right thumb to push the space bar, but sometimes I do use my left.
