index middle ring finger on my left hand and my index and middle on right. this is ignoring pinky's on side keys like shift enter and ofc my thumb on space.
my only issue with typing is pressing space either to late or to early when typing. Imagine having like 300ms ping on your space bar pressing. I either preempt it for when i think im going to finish a word, or i will miss it and be halfway through the next one.
Probably got the habit of 5 fingers from gaming, gotta keep my ring and pinky on my right hand flat so i can slide back over and grab my mouse as quick as possible o.ob
holy cow 100wpm on 5 fingers?! damn that's fast.
I just tested myself on that link, I'm between 70-80 pretty consistently and I use 9 fingers.

I use 5 fingers. 63 WPM. Strange thing is that one thumb is actually on the trackpad of my laptop, and the other is on the space bar.

I use 7, right pinky is dedicated to shift and enter, left pinky is pretty much solely used for the a-key and ctrl, but a is a letter so it counts =]
I type ~100wpm at home and tested at 85 in an interview on a terrible keyboard so voted 80-100
I feel like my accuracy with m,n,z,x,c, period, and comma would be improved by implementing my pinky, but I have poor lateral mobility and control in my fingers so rotating my hand to use ring finger is much more comfortable for me and I don't notice a significant loss of speed, accuracy to motivate me to relearn to type.

lol, I wish I could see a youtube video of 140 wpm with 2 fingers for an extended period of time.

After some Googling, I've come to the conclusion that either this thread is full of lies (gasp!) or you guys are all using Colemak / Dvorak and not QWERTY.

Haha, perfect example that this thread is full of crap
I can top around 100, but I'd say average 80-100, type with all 8 (thumb for space)

or maybe a forum dedicated to professional computer gaming attracts a lot of people that spend entirely too much time typing on their computers

8 but i really use my ring fingers in place of pinky a lot more than i should. i do 90-100wpm very accurately. i can go higher but it isnt as reliable. what usually if i am taking notes or something
|
50-60 wpm, 8 fingers. I noticed that numbers (and names, i tend to make mistakes like holding shift for a tad to long so i end up with the second letter being big as well) slow me down a lot, are you using numblock or do you jump the two rows from basic grip for something like dates?

I type with either 6 or 7, depending on if you count the right pinky for Enter. You didn't mention it and since you said that the thumb for spacebar doesn't count, I wasn't sure whether to count this one or not.
My "last 10" rating on typeracer.com is 132, whereas my "career average" on there is 125. Personal best on that site is 153.
... I almost failed typing class back in high school because I didn't use the correct method (and also because I think the teacher was secretly jealous that I was typing practically twice as fast as she does.)
I can attach a screenshot when I get home if people don't believe it... stuff like imgur/tinypic/etc. are blocked at work so I can't do it now.

Average around 110-120 with 5 fingers. I use all the fingers on my left hand but only the index finger of my right hand. Not sure why exactly, just habit.

also, most of my typing was learned from runescape. Typing the same thing over and over again like "selling lobbies 300 gp ea" because the game didnt allow copy/paste really sped up my typing. Now I average ~120 and can peak around 130 without any mistakes.

70-90 WPM with 8 fingers and way too much backspacing for my liking.
I used to be able to do 750 WPM with 13 but then I got shot and now I can't feel some of my arms.
|
I use 9 fingers, only one which I barely ever use is the left thumb.
I use the left pinkie for caps lock, tab, shift, and the right one for Enter. Right thumb for spacebar and other fingers for letters.
At my best I can type at about 140 wpm, but probably I usually average around 100-120.
|
I never thought about it before, but I guess I use 7. I don't seem to use my right ring finger.

I usually type letters with 7 - all fingers on my left hand, index and middle finger on the right. WPM is around 70 in english and 90-100 in russian.

There definitely appears to be some exaggeration, but I did my best to make it an honest as possible. I really want some tips about people who have looked into it, to see which way is the best to switch to 8 finger typing, or just experiences with different typing styles, and general information that others have.

I use 8 fingers, with an average of between 70 and 80. I use my left pinkie for shit and tab and all that, and never use my right shift for anything, even capitol a (I just slide my hand over 1 key). When I was in 6-7th grade I had keyboarding class and was forced to learn 8 fingers (we even had covers over the keyboards so we couldn't look down, it was a horrible first few weeks). By the second time around I went from using 2 fingers with maybe 20-30 wpm to 8 fingers at 120+ wpm. It really helped sitting next to some of my best friends because we made it a competition at that point, and we all got really fast. It's been a long time since that though, so my average and general posture has gone down quite a bit.

I was trying to figure out what letters I used right pinky for. Then I realized, it's only used for stuff like semi colons and apostrophes.
