Wait... there are people who have to look at the keyboard as they type? I expected it would become second nature once you grasped it.
I only look at the keyboard and not the screen.

Games I can memorize relative positions for, but 100+ keys is simply too many to memorize for me.

Plus, "proper" typing just feels wrong to my hands.

I only ever type with 1 or 6 fingers. Since I mostly write on my phone, when I am on desktop though 6 is enough.
How do you hit the "quote," 'apostrophe,' and P keys?

Moving my hands of course, at most I won't be using my pinkies.
Yeah, if you're actually saying you do something that takes that much extra effort, I think we've got a confirmed troll just trying to bait people.

Just saying, hitting the apostrophe, quote, and P buttons on a keyboard requires you to go through extra effort to hit them with your ring finger as opposed to the pinky. As such, I just find it highly unlikely someone would actually put in that extra effort specifically to not use their pinky fingers unless they were amputated or severely arthritic or something.

And trolls will troll wherever they see an opportunity. All they have to do is come up with something ridiculous that will get people asking questions.

don't you think it's more likely that they're actually stupid and not trolling?
