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

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.

  1. My Microsoft ergonomic keyboard has it on the left by innocent_white_lamb · · Score: 4, Informative

    My Microsoft Natural 4000 keyboard has it on the left.

    Since I've been using Microsoft ergonomic keyboards for years, I'm now in the habit of hitting the 6 with my left forefinger.

    (Microsoft can't make a decent operating system, but their keyboards and mice are first class.)
