Does anyone use the one on the right side of the keyboard?

anyone who really types does. what do you do if you need to capitalize a Q W E R T A S D F Z X C G or V?

[/ QUOTE ]

I touch type very fast and use just the left one.

[/ QUOTE ]

what about if you have to capitalize an A, i still say it is CLEARLY more efficient to use both shift keys.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Nope, the left works pretty well. My left pinky handles the Shifting, my right pinky handles the Entering.

I use both. I agree with the poster who said the real useless keys are the duplicate Ctrl and Alt keys.

ah nm, entering in general, i thought you meant your right hit the A key.......and that gave me a pretty interesting visual.....

[housenuts]

use your pinkie to hit the left shift key and work from there... everybody is doing it

[/ QUOTE ]

this works... just not very well.

but why be efficient?

[manpower]

I've just realized that I use the left shift key almost exclusively. I had always thought I use both. In fact so much so that I was about to respond that "of course you need both keys" until I started typing. Fascinating.

Obviously youve never experienced HOT, DOUBLE-SHIFT ACTION

[B Dids]

When I first read this, I was postive I used both. I've discovered that I only use the one on the right, and NEVER on the left.

I'm left handed, which either explains that or means it makes no sense.
