Do you "mouse" with one hand and type with the other or type with both hands & "mouse" with which hand?

Bonus Question:

Are you normally Right handed or Left handed?

Update:

I can type faster with my left hand,(72 wpm), than I can with both hands,(40 wpm), and I haven't looked at the letters on the keys in years.

When I learned to type. there were no letters on the keyboard, but there was this huge sign in the front in the classroom with the placement of the keyboard.

And we were supposed to look at the front of the room while the teacher dictated to us.

This is how I learned to type.

Yes, I type with my left hand and "mouse" with the right.

    I've been taught to type so I use both hands, normally, for my keyboard. My mouse is used by my dominant hand. I'm a South-paw, so that means...

    Keep in mind this. "Everyone is right handed, but it's only the gifted who overcome it." XP

    Source(s): I know that I'm using a boxing term. I'm also quoting one of many magnetic stickers that I own. I've learned to type in school. Also, my military career is like your office type job. Had to know how to use a PC for emails, reports, and heard enough of the paperless Air Force.

    Hey there :P

    I usually type with both hands, but with only a couple of fingers, and I have to be looking at the keyboard. You'd think after 12 years of typing I'd get a hang of it by now, but no, LOL, that's how nature designed me... And I'm right handed meaning I'm left brained :D

    if the word can be written with the left hand of the keyboard, then mouse in hand and the other on keyboard. otherwise both hands on keyboard and right hand on mouse when finishing.

    right handed.

    by the way I type without looking at the keys even with one hand

    Edit:

    70wpm in one hand?? video or it didn't happen. lol

    Mouse with right, type with both.... I wish I was ambidextrous, but, sadly, I am only right-handed.
