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.

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

  2. Right side, because that's where the number pad is by the_humeister · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I use the number pad a lot more often than the top row of number keys.
