Poll: Spacebar Activation Digit / Appendage
-
How do you press the spacebar on your keyboard?
- Always with my left thumb
- Always with my right thumb
- Mostly with my left thumb
- Mostly with my right thumb
- With either thumb (roughly equally)
- With both thumbs AT THE SAME TIME!
- With my face
- With another digit or appendage (please specify below)
- What'saspacebar?
-
I’m typing this post to test, and apparently I only use the right thumb.
-
Yeah, I only just noticed that I do the same. The shininess of the right side of my spacebar key confirms it.
-
I'm an equal opportunity thumb user.
-
I know that I was taught that the right thumb was proper. I tend to use them both. I think it tends to be from whichever hand was just typing, though it's kind of hard to test, and I'm afraid thinking about it is influencing the results. The wear on my spacebar confirms that I use both, however.

Obvious joke is obvious.
I'm far too innocent to understand what you're referring to.

You're missing an option:
"I always use my right thumb, I just realized after typing a bunch of text; but I know in games I use my left hand because my right hand is busy on the arrow keys."
-
I voted "Mostly with my right thumb". There are other instances in which I use my left thumb. Sometimes I "hunt and peck" with my left hand when I'm using my right hand for drinking, eating or holding something.

my right hand is busy on the arrow keys.
Huh, so somebody actually uses arrow keys in games...
-
Left thumb here...

Something like a pen or paper.
Or my balls.
@Maciejasjmj said:Huh, so somebody actually uses arrow keys in games...
Although I haven't played those in a while, some Flash games use Z and X and arrow keys. I'm fairly certain I've played games using Ctrl, Alt, spacebar and arrows. Not every game uses a mouse...

Available by... not actually voting.
After all, it works in all 'democracies' where compulsory voting isn't implemented...

Wow. I was going to say "left thumb" because that's usually how I scroll... but when I started typing this I realized that I've been using my right thumb exclusively. Also, now I'm manually hitting the spacebar and super self-conscious about how I type. Thanks a lot.

Almost exclusively my left thumb. But I have an ergonomic keyboard with split spacebar.
-
I had to type a goodly number of words before being able to choose and option (90% right).
-

I only use WASD when the keyboard controls are relatively simple, like minecraft or bastion. Most other games I map the whole bunch to the numpad, because the skewed position of wasd throws me off too much.
The again, sometimes the skewed position is a boon. But only very rarely.

The only thing I got out of this was that I use both based on where my hands are on the keyboard at the time, and that it's really fucking hard to type anything while thinking 'what digit am I using for spacebar?'

I would have said "Right Thumb" but on testing it seems I exclusively use my right index finger. I'm not much of a typist though - hunt and peck all the way
-
Neither of the face spacebar users have added a comment. Is this because the pain of spacing with your face overwhelms the desire to post comments on the internet?

I use both my thumbs. I am typing this and finding out that I am

amphibiousdouble dexterousThe word you were looking for was ambidextrous (and no, using either hand does not mean you are ambidextrous).

Well that certainly explains a lot.

That is what I had in my head, when I started to type out the post. between composition, typing
and hitting submit, I got a bit laid from that.Definition of ambidextrous (adj)

2.skillful in many ways: very skillful and versatileAfter reading definition, I want to go for second meaning.

I always thought that trolls like him were more like the reptiles that live on the inside of the earth. But then maybe the holes to get inside let in enough water so that they are amphibious rather than true decedents of dinosaurs.

TMI. I don't really want to read your posts on TDWTF; I certainly don't want to know anything about your personal life.2.skillful in many ways: very skillful and versatile

I have never, ever heard that alleged definition of ambidextrous before. You may want to go for that meaning, but you do not get there.

Now you have. You shall always remember that like "JakeWeary".

Mostly a left thumb user myself, but I catch myself using my right index finger increasingly often.
Also, that ergonomic keyboard looks really uncomfortable to use, but that's probably just me.
-
While typing, it's either right or left (mostly left, it seems) thumb, but i cannot detect a specific cause that would explain when i'm using one and when the other...
And either right or left middle finger (plus an extra "sidekick" at times), when triggering a scroll.

For science, I have used the data collected above to create a heat map of the digits and appendages that TDWTF forum goers use most for activating their spacebars:
Analysing this image, I have determined that the people here mostly use one of their thumbs. I think this has been a useful experiment.
