    I use the correct finger placement, but I sometimes type in simple things with one hand to keep my other on my mouse/whatever else happens to be in my hand.

    No. And I score higher than all of my classmates in speed typing tests, so I don't plan on changing.

    I've kinda invented my own typing format I use. Too lazy to explain it though.

    I use the f and j keys as placement, and by default my fingers rest at the asdf and jkl; locations, but I don't use the standard method of finger movement to type. I just know (by feel) where each key is in relation to the f and j keys, so from there I just move what I need to to reach.

    F and J is where your two fingers are stuppose to be. I seem to use about 3 fingers of each hand and my thumbs for the space button some of the time....

    I think I do. Never actually thought about where my hands are going, I just feel the keys.

    last year they started teaching us typing with index fingers (went from 67 to about 180 kpm)

    using a hybrid way of typing now, mostly because im lazy

    I type on my keyboard how it's most comfortable and fastest for me. I usually use my index, middle and ring finger to type letters and numbers and use the thumb to press spacebar. I use my left little finger to press shift and other keys that are left. Same goes for the right middle finger.


    In short, I use the fingers for each key which is nearest to it.


    And I also score more than my colleagues in speed writing tests who use the "right" method.

    same as FabianN but as for me, i use the A and J keys to let my fingers automatically fall on the other keys. i'm not sure if use the correct finger on the other keys.. oh, wait, no, i don't use the correct fingers on the other keys cos i remembered i don't use my pinky that much. lol.

    I use my middle and index finger to type, and that's about it.
