.....How do you position your hands on the keyboard? I've watched a few people and everybody does it differently. This is how I position my hands:

Left Hand
Thumb: -
Index: Shift
Middle: Enter
Ring: -
Little: Space


Right Hand
Thumb: -
Index: Left Arrow
Middle: space between Up Arrow and Down Arrow(So I can reach both easily)
Ring: Right Arrow
Little: -

[Vegerich]

The right hand is on the move-keys and the left hand does the rest.

[skillya_glowi]

Yesh, I mean, do you hold your hands anywhere even when youre not doing "the rest"?

[Havoc]

Left hand:

Thumb: Space - jump
Index: X - roll/crouch
Middle: -
Ring: Shift - Run
Little: Ctrl - Action


Right Hand:

Thumb: -
Index: Left arrow & CTRL key
Middle: Up arrow & down arrow
Ring: right arrow
Little: Numeric 0 - Chanting


I found it to be the ultimate position

[Fuzzleman54321]

Mine:

Right hand:

Index: Shift

Pinkie: (I dont know name) Right
Middle: Right
What ever the one after middle is: Up and Dow

Left hand

Pinkie: Left Ctrl
Middle: Z
Index: X

I think most people use that way.

No,I don´t

[skillya_glowi]

yeah, the numeric zero is actually very helpful. thanks Havoc! Also i can do "hello", follow me" and "wait" with the little finger too.

[Slaveless]

My left hand fingers are like this:

Thumb: Space
Pointer: Z/X
Middle: Shift
And occisanly: Ring: left control

Right hand:
Middle: ^
Ring:>
Pointer: <
Pinkie: 0

[metroixer]

Left hand:

litttle-shift
between middle and index(Magic?)-N/a
middle- X to chrouch when running
index: N/A

Right hand:

thumb- N/A
Index: left button
middle: down and up
Magic: right button
little: N/A

[Ninjaxe]

hehe I dont really notice but I think. it just comes naturally.

Left hand is jump and ctrl, x, left usually index and thumb

all three on right hand and thumb to hold down shift.

ka ka ka ka

[kao_kao]

Pretty much the same way Havoc does
"the ultimate position"

[toxicity]

I just slap both hands on the keyboard and go with whatever comes first.

I type fast while looking at the keyboard, but I use both hands and my keyboards left of the moniter. The right hand is used for directions and Num pad and the right half of the keyboard. Left is the rest. Thought even as I tpye this my hands are moving rapidly to trhe left and right. In the "Right" I just typed, I used my right hand to press "T" and the left to press space. To correct the "Look at your hands problem, I move the keyboard in front of the moniter. This makes me slowdown a bit, but that dosen't matter because Oddworld dosen't use
