I used the five finger approach, though in all honesty I find myself using my pinky finger very few times. I used to type with just my index fingers back in third grade, though by now using just my index fingers is wayy too slow for me. They did a whole typing unit on the computer in third grade anyway (ever heard of Type To Learn? Its annoying but it really does teach you how to type.)

I use three fingers on each hand; for some reason or another I only use my left pinky finger to hold the shift key, and I never use my right one. I don't use my thumbs at all, not even for the space bar.

Yeah, it sounds a little weird, but it's how I've always typed, even with all those horrid touch-typing classes at school. xD

I used to hunt and peck very quickly, but ever since I started ROM hacking I've been doing kind of a "free-style" 5 finger approach. I don't keep my hands in the format you're supposed to, and I don't even use the shift key... but it works and I'm a fast typer anyhow, so I really don't care. =D

I think I use the index and middle fingers of both hands, and my thumb for the spacebar.... Any time I want to hit shift/delete, I'll use my left index finger or my right thumb, depends where on the keyboard my hands are. It works for me, I'm a pretty fast typer. ^_^

Usually the Index finger approach, though I do use my ring fingers and my thumb from time-to-time. In fact, I'm using those now. I don't know what it is about touch-typing (the five finger approach) but I have the hardest time with it.

Oh! Just used my pinky, too. XD

I use the index and middle fingers of my right hand for the keys on the right hand side of the keyboard, and i use the index finger on my left hand for the other half. When i'm using shift (left hand side) I use the ring finger on my left hand, same if I need to use the Fn key or caps lock keys.

I learned the general and fastest way. 4 Fingers, Home Keys, Qwerty format keyboard.

Thumb only for space bar, I'm not sure if it makes it five but oh well.

It's actually the best way to type if you are very busy.

Ever since the epic fail that was me in middle school typing class, I thought "screw it" and typed my own way, which uses all of my fingers, but home keys and all that other tedious stuff have nothing to do with it. And guess what? I do just fine.

Looking at myself type now, I seem to use my middle and pointer fingers on the left hand and on the right, I only use my middle finger. I always do that though, so trying anything different feels weird. XD;

And I can still type 100 words a minute, so that's kinda nifty. XD

I type the right way (5 fingers each), I'm a good typer ;D

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

paired with alternative <3
