What is your style/method of typing ?

Any special preferences or practices while typing ?

 

 

Personally I cannot type without looking at the keyboard period and my practice/issue is that i use only my "Thumb , index & middle fingers on my left hand to type but all my fingers except the small finger on my right hand!"

 

Tell us yours!

i dont have my fingers on the asdf and jkl; keys. they kind of float above the keyboard and i go and hit the keys. so kind of an advanced hunt and peck.

I use most if not all of my fingers at both hands and I can touch type.

However, I don't really follow the fingering of a "real" typist.

I just follow what I like best which could give me better typing speed.

 

I still get some typo sometimes when I touch type but since I'm touch typing, I can notice the mistake immediately and fix it as I'm looking at the screen while I'm typing.

its not really that hard, there are alot games for learning to type, most of them are free so i would suggest trying that

 

typing without looking at the keyboard isnt really that hard, just takes some practicing, just like riding a bike

I find I use the thumbs and first three fingers on each hand while I type. I do look at the keyboard, but I don't actually need to. I kinda look in the general direction of the keyboard and zone out :P

I sit down at my desk and press buttons that have the letters I need to make the words that I want to be on the monitor.
