So do you use your right or left thumb to press down the spacebar?

I use my right thumb to press the spacebar. It's just natural. I was never trained to type...I decided Typing class in school was a waste of time and opted for Algebra II Trig (which I was awful at). I'm pretty fast, but I wouldn't trust myself to just type anything without looking at the board occasionally.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Post I'm new, but I'm not... new.. whats up?

Alright so I'm quote un quote new to this forum, but I found it today via a friend who referred me here. I figured I would check it out and see if I could find any useful information.

My friend referred me to this forum by some sort of weird pc to phone chat service www.callitfake.com. Not sure if someone here told him to, if it was spam or what. Either way, I said I would check it out so here I am.

I'm 27, Phoenix Arizona native. I work for MTX and ship speakers for a living, so if you ever have any car audio questions -- i'm likely to be your guy.

I only use the right thumb although I read that you are supposed to use both...

wtf is that dude? seems like what youre treally telling us is youve lost your other fingers in a freak accident
No, what I'm telling you is I don't bother using my other fingers. Although it would suck if those were the only ones I had.

I am left handed (in writing) and used my right thumb to type this post.
I am right handed in baseball, for some reason.
I am left handed in billiards.
I am right legged in soccer.
I am right handed in hockey.
I am left handed in using a rifle.
I am weird.

I got "100 WPM" fast at typing in Jr. High because I basically taught myself.
You're not alone. I write with my right hand, kick and play hockey left handed, and I also play guitar hero lefthanded style.

I actually had to try this out and I find that depending on where my fingers are on the keyboard, I tend to use both of my thumbs.

Weird. I started typing a sentence and realized I don't use my thumbs to do spacing. I think I use my left thumb if I'm having to put in numbers or something else that would require my right hand to be off the standard area. I apparently use my right index finger for pressing the spacebar.

I know I was taught to use my thumbs. Generic formal teaching will do that. I was taught in middle and high school that I had to type a certain way. As it is, I don't type that way. I have no idea why, though.

I also use my index fingers, usually my right index, but I occasionally toggle between the two. I was never trained to type and I am also very bad at typing. I have no idea how fast I can type but I do manage to get by just fine. I assume I'm nowhere near 100WPM, probably not even 50.

I thought that you hit the spacebar with your dominant hand, but, after some replies, I guess not.

=/ That's the case for me though; I'm basically left-handed, and hit the spacebar with my left thumb. My left thumb is usually touching the spacebar, while my right thumb is hovering over it.

I also don't use my pinkies for typing, other than pressing the shift key...

Haha, how strange!

GOT YOU. I hurt my thumb nail when miscalutating after aiming for the spacebar and realized that the thumb that hurt was on the right.

I use the right thumb when pressing the space bar. I just never learned how to use the left, and I think I simply began using the right out of habit when I first began typing properly. Using the left thumb also works, but I tend to type slower.

After typing this post I realize that I don't use a thumb at all, I use the index finger of my right hand. Hitting the spacebar with my thumb just seems awkward and I wind up having random spaces all over the place.

I think I use my right thumb, strangely. Right now when I'm typing this I am confirming this to myself. My left thumb hangs. I never took a typing class, but I used this Mavis Beacon teaches typing crap in middle school that didn't really help except make you cheat. So I guess I'm self taught. I think I type at a reasonable pace.

It's usually my right thumb. I don't have a consistent typing form, so it's whatever's closer. Right thumb mostly though.

When I type, the spacebar presses down automatically by itself! As if it knows what I'm typing and when I'm supposed to press the spacebar! Now that my thumbs are free, I thumb-wrestle while typing.

I usually use my left, I believe. Sometimes I use my index from the same hand though.

I was also self taught, so I type differently than I 'should'. I don't use the correct fingers most of the time, but I'm still pretty efficient.

I mainly use my right thumb, though the left sometimes slips through. Self taught, and my highest WPM last time I checked was 125, with roughly 95% accuracy.

I'm using my right middle finger to hit the space bar and sometimes my left thumb. I always use the left Shift key (using my left pinky). Aside from that, I pretty much use only my left index and thumb and right index to type.

I'm self-taught. I never found the patience to go trhough typing lessons and I have no idea how fast I can type.

I use my right thumb for the space bar. I had a typing class when I was in 8th grade, but my view on it then was "What will I ever do with THIS?"

Later I discovered the internet.

I use the proper fingering except for 1. the number keys and 2. when I'm lazy and only typing with my right hand. (It would be cool if I got good ebough ri type with ,t right jand wiyttiyrt looking, vut as you cam see, I cam'y.)
