Nails and Typing

I haven't really gave long nails into consideration when typing.. I guess I just clip my nails whenever they seem too long for my convenience. I'll try to grow them and see if there is a difference when I type with long nails compared to the usual way of my typing without them being long.

I prefer typing with long nails or reasonable length nails as it is what I am used to. When I used to get false nails I found it difficult to type as I was not yet used to where my nails were in relation to my fingers as they had shot up a centimetre in the space of a minute, but a little bit of natural growth does not bother me, I just adapt to it. If one of my nails break, I notice it, because it feels weird to type and it draws my attention to it.

I really love the look of long nails but once they get to a certain point it becomes more difficult to type - well at least to type accurately. I don't think people that have unusually long nails can type at all. When mine get too long they tend to stick in between the keys on the keyboard and then I end up typing an incorrect letter or an extra letter. I clip them a little past 1/4" past the quick - they still look feminine but it is easy enough to type that way and then I can type 60 wpm or more.

I have to trim my nails when they get to long for me to type. They can be a certain length and I have to trim all of them if they haven't broken off. When they get to long it seems like i miss the keys or something. Like the tip of my fingers don't see to be touching the keys. And I can't type using my nails. The tips of of my fingers. So if they get to long they have to go.

I've worn fake nails before and, my goodness, they are the noisiest things on a keyboard. They clack so loud especially since I type pretty fast too. Without my fake nails though, I can't get long nails so my nails are generally short, which don't interfere with my typing. I don't think the long nails made it harder to type, it just made it noisier to type. Which could be annoying for people around you.

I always keep my nails short, and never allow them to grow too much. But that's because of my job and the fact that I type a lot. I had long nails once exactly and all the typing was hurting my fingers, because I tend to hit the keys very hard. Plus my accuracy in typing also suffered. Not to mention the speed. Yes, long nail look extremely sexy and all... But in this particular case I think usability is more important.

I like well taken care of nails, don't have to be long but just well looked after. I rip my own nails off so that's basicly no going to happen for me. It's a nasty habit and I tried multiple things but when I get stressed out I rip them of. Just the tips before anyone freaks out :P So their basicly allways very short but I try to have them look nice the best way I can. I do think it's easier typing with short nails and because I work with small children I think it's safer and I won't scratch them that easily.

I've never really thought about it to be honest. I don't think the length of my nails interferes with my typing at all. They are long, but not too long. I like them as they are.

i am a pretty lazy person so i usually let my nail grow long. i'll cut them when they start to chip off or break. it's much easier to type with short finger nails. when my nails are long, i get typos more often. it could be my longer nails are pressing the key above the intended one. so yes, i definitely enjoy typing more when i clipped my nails. :D

I can well imagine women with long nails having difficulty on a machine. If typing is your work, then just keep your nails short or wear removables. It will make the day easier and avoid you having to correct so much.

I prefered short nails. I never grow my nails long because of rush activities that I enjoy doing. But my toe nail are long square with french tip, I love my toe nail to be long because I always wear opened toe sandals or pumps or even flip flops, for me, long and perfectly manicured toe nail adds to the sexiness of a woman.

Well i know i am a man, but i will also answer here. I really love to have short nails, although sometimes i am lazy. I really enjoy them short for typing. Take care my sweet friend !

I have tried having long nails,maybe around 3 or 4 millimeters from my finger tip,that was when i was still single.Since i started having kids,i make it a point to really clip it neatly.But since then i noticed my nails have weaken..very soft, it chipped easily.And you know how it feels to have this nails folded up to the skin...it does feels awful.

i don't alway notice that,beacuse my nail quite short.and i don't notice someone that have quite long nail to type the compute.

I love typing with short nails. It is easier and faster. Before I had my daughter I use to wear my nails medium length. But I cut them so I want scratch her.

About ten years ago, when I was first learning to type, I tried fake long nails. And it was a disaster. My fingers kept slipping off the keyboard! Then I tried to take them off and couldn't. Now, I have my regular nails and they ware working out fine. They are all natural and just about to the tips of my fingers. I am growing them out. But find that the longer they get the harder it is to type!

I used to grow my nails long enough to have a good French tip. I did not really have any problem typing. However, I found it easier to type when I clipped my nails and never had longer nails. I mean, I prefer shorter nails now and I find it more comfortable to type with short nails.

Okay, this is to funny! I have been intending to write about this on the opposite side, but keep putting it off as I didn't think anyone would want to talk about it! I just recently for some odd strange reason, my nails just literally surprisingly grew long. I never had long nails, they grow and then break off. So I just don't do nails. Now, suddenly they are long - about 1/2 inch past my finger. And here I am typing and not having to much trouble typing. I wanted to ask how everyone with nails did it - just seemed to long to type right, but after a week, I am typing just fine and getting used to them long and the ways I have to do things a bit different to accomodate the long nails and all .A bit annoyingat times and always wondering when they are going to break and be a mess, but typing - I am really getting used to them.

I find that haveing long nails makes it hard to do such things as typing like you had mentioned. I prefer to keep mine on the shorter end of the scale. My nails are brittle and break very easily. I have seen some woman have their nails really long and it makes me wonder how they can do anything that way. Long nails are pretty to me and I would love to have long nails but they constantly break. I used to work at a place where I had to open boxes and put the freight away and my nails would break and bend and let me tell you that hurts when that happens.

I noticed that too. I find it hard to type if I have longer nails, they seem to get caught in between the keys. Hehe. So I always have to clip them so it will be comfortable to type.
