For those who type with both of your hands set in the “proper” position on the keyboard, do you use your right thumb or your left thumb to hit the space bar? I always use my right thumb. My poor left thumb does jack crap. It never ever EVER gets to hit a key.
Which thumb do you use for the space bar?

I use my right thumb as well. My left thumb doesn’t touch any part of the keyboard … it’s a hover thumb!
I use both thumbs… weird. Just typing that, I switched.. depends on which hand is busiest getting to the next letter. How do you only use one?
When learning to type I noticed that I used my right thumb, so I forced myself to use my left. So, it’s left for me — which is evident by the wear mark on the left side of my space bar (I’ve had this keyboard at work for a few years). I’m right handed and right hand dominant.
It is the right hand all the way. I’m switching just for this message and it is arduous — dang right thumb keeps horning in!
Ha, you’re so fun, Matt. I use both thumbs, too, Sparx. Amen to the busy hands!!!
Oh becky what a neat idea. This is really hard to type with my left thumb. I feel like there should be ellipses… after… every… word, because… there… is… a… gap… of… time… where… i… have… to… think… “left thumb, not right thumb. left thumb, not right thumb.”
i use the right for t he Space bar
I seem to prefer my left thumb when i’m using my laptop.. weird.

After a bit of forcing my left thumb to type, I use left all the time. Is there a good way to use both thumbs based on which words you’re typing?
