I noticed fairly recently that I often, but not always, type the letter "P" with my ring finger, rather than my little (pinky) finger. I'm still not sure whether that's adaptive or wrong.
Have you seen good resources on high-speed typing technique?
- MaxLeiter 6y agoGet an ergonomic (probably split) keyboard and use your thumb for modifier keys. It’s meant to rotate all around unlike our pinkies.
- thom 6y agoI’ve been using a couple of split keyboards over the last year and it’s slowed me down because I can no longer cross over the keyboard to type a letter with either hand. This means you sometimes have to use the same finger twice in a row which always feels inefficient to me.

- colanderman 6y agoI don't think I use the pinky for any letter, only Enter and modifiers. Pinkies are weak. If you allow your forearm to move, rather than keeping your fingers in a "home" position, you do not need to use pinkies to reach letters.
- fireattack 6y agoI'm similar but worse, I basically type all the upper row with ring and middle finger only.
- desmap 6y agoIt's wrong but the p is on a very hard position for the right pinky. FWIW, p was the last letter I got right as a touch typist. It's not that the pinky is a weak finger--it can be trained to a very good level--it's really more the position of the p.
