Do you use Caps Lock or Shift for day to day typing?

[Joshyy]

I've always wondered, I use Caps lock all the time for capitalising single words and I thought it was the norm until a friend called me out on it today.

 

I use the Caps Lock because I find it's more strenuous to move one of my fingers down from the middle row to the bottom row than to just move a finger over to the Caps Lock key. 

 

I've also noticed that Keyboards in the US have a long shift below the caps whereas in the UK it's much smaller. 

 

What do you use?

My caps lock key is remapped to control, so I have no choice other than to use shift, other than that pressing caps lock is very inefficient.

I was taught to use Caps Lock as little as possible, so I use shift most of the time

[acepro71]

i use shift most of the time

[tedjani]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[Lukiose]

I used to double tap caps lock for any capitalization when i was still on my membrane.

Now that i'm on MX Reds i have changed to using shift since it's less straining on my pinky

I never use caps lock in a normal day to day conversation, but whenever I feel threatened, I bring out the big boy.

[chicksoup]

caps lock when I eat and only use one hand

I ALWAYS FORGET TURN TURN CAPS LOCK OFF, SO I USE SHIFT

[LancerBG]

rarely use caps lock. in some games its used for a game function but even that is pretty rare in the games I play. Off the top of my head I cant remember using it intentionally for every day typing but I have hit it by accident on many occasions.

[YouRezz]

I use caps for long sentences in capitals or when shouting at someone over the internetz, but mostly i just use shift as it easier for simple capital letters.

[iWearKiltz]

i use shift more then caps lock, unless im writing a wall of caps text in rage or something

[Wauthar]

In the days that I was playing Age of Mythology my caps lock was always on, because the cheats had to be in all caps

In normal typing I use the shift, I can't imagine using the caps lock for one single letter and turning it off again.

[GoodBytes]

What I don't get, is people using Cap lock to capitalize only 1 letter... every.. single... time....

My cap lock is disabled. Because I am annoyed to accidentally hit it.

[Thunderjolt]

I use the Shift key to type. I've just learnt to type like this. I only ever use the Caps Lock IF I WANT TO TALK LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ALWAYS FORGET TURN TURN CAPS LOCK OFF, SO I USE SHIFT

I feel the same way...

[SirReallySam]

I use shift with my Pinky my mum uses caps... 

[Matsy]

Why would you use caps when typing?

You would have to keep flipping it on and off...

[Viking Kong]

Shift.

[mgsstar]

Shift because once you release the key it disables caps so I wouldn't have to tap on the caps lock key to disable it.

Nothing but left shift button. In middle school, in computer class, the teacher asked me if I knew there was a shift key on the right side of the board. My response was, uhh duh, I'm not stupid. I just use the left one. Only.

Shift

i use caps lock all the time... but i never want to use caps lock lol its my mic button in most games i can also change it to any other key if i feel like it but it just seems odd to have it something other then caps. i use a diy keyboard with mx cherry black switches

Im used to using capslock but using shift key is a lot more efficient

[Hans Christian | Teri]

I use shift, always, also for longer capitalized sentences.
