Which shift key do you use?

[Newby]

I personally use just the left shift key. I can't recall a time when I actually use my right one.

What about you?

[disco]

Right.

[iago]

Right.  I use left periodically, but it sounds funny. 

The proper way is to use both, depending on which letter you're capitalizing.

I use the right. I hug the tab key with my left pinky, so it's toucing the plastic on the key board, and the side of the key. I just use my right finger more with backspace and stuff, so it's easier.

[BigAznDaddy]

well this is interesting.......... I use my left most of the time.

[d&q]

I use the left shift key for capitalization. Only the left shift key.

[Joe]

I just expiramented a little bit. I always seem to use left. After attempting to use the right, I realized I can't do it! :P

Another weird question: Does anyone here type properly? :P

Is there a time that I prefer the use the left shift key over my right?  Yes, when I'm typing a letter or character with my right hand.  For instance, when I type a question mark, I'll use the left shift key because I'm using my pinky for the ?.  However, if the key is sufficiently far away from the right shift key, I'll use my left.

Below is a complete list of characters that I type with each given finger:
Right shift: QWERTASDFGHZXCVB!@#$%^~
Left shift: YUIOP{}|JKL:"NM<>?&*()_+

I think it's because I actually type like I was taught in school.  Who knows?

I Believe That I use my left.............I tried with my right, it just doesn't work so well

Yeah, that's the proper way.  I actually remove my hand from home-row to do ?, which is really bad.  I really should force myself to type properly. :/

I'm surprised that a lot of people say they use their left.  I personally actually go between either hand to type I capital as well as parentheses, but apparently only because I type them so much.  Other combinations on my right hand feel unnatural.

I use both.. Like MyndFyre, it depends where I'm typing.  However, since most letters I end up having to capitalize/use shift on are on the right-hand side of my keyboard, I use the left shift key more.  If you'll notice, every capitalized letter/character you'd have to use shift to obtain has been on the right hand side of my keyboard.  Hah.

LIES!! See:

MyndFyre,

Game over, yeah.

[Hitmen]

I use the right one, all the time. I thought it would depend on the letter I was capitalizing but after a bit of expirimentation I realized that I always use the right. And always with my ring finger too... I don't use my right pinky at all.

[Ergot]

Left shif key. I use the right one to do like... punctuation and emotes?
