Do you use your 10 fingers to type?

This is very interesting. I actually do think I use all y fingers to type - not all at the same time or the same amount but I use my fingers to type and usually my thumbs do the space bar! :)

I have always been a fast typist. i do use all of my fingers to type. i think it makes me type q little quicker when i do. I just have to watch out for typos. unfortunately, i do not always catch them in time to fix them.

hi abhaijith I learned touch typing years back,wayh back, in high school. As long as I do not look at the keyboard I can type with few errors. I used to type forty words a minute but now at 85 I am slower and I do not care as I do not want a mess of errors on my posts. so if I am less speedy its okay for me. One of the beauties of being elderly you can do pretty much the way you want and who is to tell you different? [em]lol

Hey anhaijith, Yeah I use all my ten fingers I just don't place them down o hthe keyboard since I am using a iPad and I would press keys and type something funny haha. I do use all or almost all my finger to type .. As I type this I am watching the way I am typing and realize that I don't use my pinky at all hahaha.. weird.. If i do it's pretty rare haha. I guess because it might be rare lol.. I don't know how many words I type in a minute I have to take a test for that I will make sure i will post with.

Yeah, I think I pretty mush using all of my fingers to type. I sometimes type with only one hand when I'm feeding my bay though.

Hi I am typing with all 10 fingers. In past once i had seen how typing class used to teach typing with help of some software. From then i had do lots of practise by my self. And now i can say that i am doing well with it.

I have used all my fingers for 50 years to type so that makes me an EIGHT finger typist as I do not use my thumbs!!!LOL

I learned touch typing when I was in high school. I was never particularly fast (maybe 35-45 words per minute), but it just seems natural to do it now. The only time I don't use all ten fingers is if I am doing something else at the same time and I don't have both hands available. It is really an advantage if the letters are rubbed off the keys you are typing on if you don't have to look at the keys anyway. I found when I started online education that my typing improved naturally because I had to do so much of it. When I would be involved in chats, whether for school or pleasure, I had to type fast to keep up with my end of the conversation. Practice is the only way to improve your speed. Have a great day!

I learned to type in high school on a manual typewriter but could only do 45 words per minute. That was considered minimum speed for office work. Our granddaughter could type 160 words per minute on the keyboard when she was in 8th grade.

I can only type 45 words per minute and 50 as the max. But I only use my 8 fingers to type since I have problems using my left ring finger and little finger. I don't know why but I just rarely use these two fingers.

Of course I use all fingers. That's the way I learned how to type. It keeps my fingers strong and active.

It will be much faster to type using all the ten figures than just one hand. Now I am typing these words using both my hands and I think my speed is okay. We just need more practice to get the speed of typing improved. Come on, you will get a higher speed if getting used to using all the figures. And it will be more comfortable for your hands.

hi, i tried so many time to use my 10 fingers to type but its sad to say that i cant use them all,and i actually used 7 fingers only, because when i attempt to use them all i type very slow but if my 7 fingers only work, i can type very past as i can.

I don't use all 10 fingers to type. At least, I don't think I do. I'm thinking about it too much, so it feels weird Let's see, right now, I'm using both hands (as I usually do), and I'm using every finger except for my pinky and thumb on both hands. I just took a typing test a couple of days ago. My result was that I type at about 60 WPM.

I can only type with two fingers i have never been taught and find learning very difficult now you have me thinking on googling a freebies how to type lol

I learned typing as you describe while in high school. I think there are computer programs available that you can use to learn this method. It is really quite easy to learn. I would think it would be difficult to learn all by yourself.

Hi abhijith, In the beginning I too was more dependent on my right hand fingers. But now I have a knack to use fingers from left hand too. Really, I too have seen people writing too fast. Actually they type without at the key board. I too am trying to type faster.

no actually. I don't use all of my finger to type but i wish i did. You see back in school we had to use keyboard the proper way but i always cheated coz it was so difficult but now i wished i had done it the hard but proper way. My speed isn't bad though. i can type pretty fast.

I use all 10 fingers. Can type pretty fast. You can't type very fast with one hand. Take care.

I took a class in school which dealt mainly in typing, and they used a program called Mario Typing I believe that helped us practice typing without looking and using both hands. Today my speed is much faster than it's ever been thanks to that.
