all of my fingers but like someone else said forget homerow, I just rest my hands on the keyboard and right when I'm about to type I glance down at they keyboard and then I'll just start typing.
actually this is a better representation of what i do

poll has "normal person" as two options

i use 3 fingers and my thumb


(first line i was looking at the poll option, second line was from memory)

i type with my bodacious pectorals

Someday I will be able to directly interface with computers, and no longer need to look at a monitor or type on a keyboard.

Usually all fingers, though little finger is probably used less than the others.

I think I usually stick to the home row, but I also often have my fingers where they last were and I can type from wherever on a keyboard. I have the keys memorised, but it's more muscle memory for where they are. I'm not thinking of where the keys are as I type.

I can type without looking, and almost always do, bar when on a tablet (although I still can) because I make a lot more mistakes.
I make more mistakes in the dark though, even though I can touch type. I assume I need my peripheral vision of where my hands are to be any good.

That said, for the most part I could touch type and look elsewhere and do quite well, so I don't really understand why I'm worse in the dark.

i type strangely. on my left hand, i use every finger but my pinkie to hit keys.
however, on my right hand, i only use my middle finger, and i use it to hit the spacebar.




i just type with the index and middle finger of my left hand. sometimes ill use my ring finger if i really need to but not often.

I developed my own typing style as a child and I find it extremely effective.
I also don't align my fingers on homerow and stuff. I just set my hands on top of the keyboard anywhere and I just know where.

this is exactly how i type.

i mash the forget out of my keyboard when i type too which makes my cherry greens feel amazing.

I just lay my hands on the keyboard and type

I think its homerows but Im not sure
