About typing...

[Ice wolf]

Ya. I know. This is a really pointless thread. I should just ask someone I know this question, but...does it really make a difference which thumb you use to press the spacebar? I would ask more questions to make this thread more meaningful, but I don't have any.
I wanted to know, because sometimes my fingers get a little twisted when using my left hand to space (Usually when typing something with a "b" or "v", and then space, and then something higher up like an "e" or "w". I don't have any real examples, but I'll add some when I come across any). On the other hand, (Lol, pun) when I space with my right hand, spacebar + backspace = not much better, especially since I'm used to using my left hand (obviously) even though I'm right handed.

Thoughts?


P.S. I downloaded Mavis Beacon today.
P.P.S. When I searched for threads on this, I got some like the MapleStory thread and Tass's tourney...

search function = useless
From the "proper" techniques that my oldschool had taught me, the thumb doesnt matter on most keyboards.
But, then again, it's my old school LoL.

I use my left thumb because I'm used to it. But I don't know if it makes a difference.

EDIT: Should have made a poll.

Re: About typing...

Well this thread is...interesting.

Personally, I don't even use my thumbs to hit the spacebar (I use my right index finger). I've never been instructed on the proper way to type, so my hands are all over the place. I wouldn't think that which thumb you use would make too much of a difference; just do whatever seems most comfortable to you.
