Ask Slashdot: Do You Press "6" Key With Right Or Left Hand?

Posted by timothy on from the ehn-vel-ope-ahn-vel-ope dept.

New submitter ne0phyte73 writes: In some countries and in some touch typing books key "6" is pressed with right hand and in some others with left. It's not a big issue until you have a split keyboard. Guys at UHK are putting it on the left side. Do you agree? What hand do you use to press "6"? Left hand here, but it's not a strong preference; I'll take a keyboard that omits Caps Lock wherever they put the 6.

    I press the "3" key twice, really fast.

  2. Yeah, it's deep, too. by PopeRatzo · · Score: 4, Funny

    I use my penis — a.k.a. middle leg.

    Of course. For those of us who are, shall we say, gifted, we don't even have to get out of our chair to hit the "6" key.

    However, the fact that we have to type sans trousers makes us sort of unemployable but that's a decent trade-off.

    I can also play five octaves of the C note simultaneously on my piano in this manner.
