I type ~100 wpm with essentially two fingers. I do use my thumb for the spacebar and my middle fingers for ~4 specific edge keys, but otherwise it's all index all the time.
I have a hairbrained theory that this has helped me avoid carpal tunnel because it forces my hands to move around a lot more, rather than hover in one specific position. I have no data whatsoever to back this up.
- nerd_in_rage 16y agoYep, I do the same thing essentially. I can't quite get to 100 WPM, but I'm in the high 80's and most people remark how fast I type. Heh. Never learned to touch type the "right" way... Not sure I'd want to...
- prawn 16y agoI thought I used my thumbs on the space key until one day I noticed groves eroded on my laptop spacebar and paid particular attention to my typing. Turns out that I usually hit space with my right pointer and the fingernail (at that angle) gradually cut marks into the plastic.
