How do You type?

I personally have never typed with my left index finger on F and right index on J. My computer teacher would always make us type like that, yet I still manage to get 100WPM+ avg on typing tests. So basil, how do you guys type?

Edit: I find that I only use my right index finger on the right side, yet I use every finger on my left hand

I can only type with nine of my fingers. I cut one of them pretty bad and got used to typing without it. Kinda sucked at first but now I'm more used to it than the standard way of typing.

Im the same way. I learned the whole asdf jkl; method, but it doesnt work for me all that well. Normally I 2-finger type with my index fingers, but sometimes I 4-finger type with my index and middle fingers. The more fingers i use the faster i go, except for my pinky fingers, cant use those for anything except shift.

I mostly use my middle fingers and index fingers.

My pinkies float in the air though and it looks kinda weird.

in I guess a relaxed position it's something like G and K
my left hand types 2/3 of the keyboard for some reason

years of tf2 and league have trained it to be more proficient

I use the first three fingers on each hand but I have to look at the keyboard and I make a lot of typos :[

In elementary school when every kid was learning how to type (in my school we had a 30min block where we typed each day), I was learning how to play violin. So my typing is kinda sucky. Like 60wpm.

I use my index and middle fingers on both handles, left hand dealing with mostly the left side of the board, and right hand, the right side. I don't know my WPM but it's probably around average, I type at a decent pace, but not super fast or slow, my mom took classes in highschool and must type twice as fast as me, but she looks at the keyboard, I don't.

Sometimes I use just two fingers while typing with both my left and my right hand.

Probably not but in grade 4 which is the last time I checked my speed it was 96 words per minute.
