I singletap with my middle finger because a lot of shmups on the PC use the Z key to fire.

I mostly tap using my second finger on circles and middle finger on sliders

I believe it's just personal preferences, it's based on what people are comfortable with.

I play with index finger as primary tap, mainly because index finger is my strongest finger as I can tap faster and more endurance with that finger than any others.

I also felt a weird "bland" feeling when I tried tapping with only middle finger. Not sure why... :|
This. And I single tap with my index finger becuz I feel like it

I don't really think about it. It's just where my finger ends up being.

I dont know where to ask about it so I'll write here. I single tap with my index finder but I start streams with my middle finger. Do you have the same? With which finger do you start streams?

I used to do the same, but i started singletapping with middle instead. Flows much better really.

I tap with my middlefinger and start streams with the index. or at least try to because I am better that way.

I only do this with streamy map because I can only start a stream with middle finger. But if I already remember when to switch to start stream, I use my other finger.

o.0 I single tap with my middle finger and start streams with my middle finger.

Index finger feels oddly loose

Definitely best for me to singletap with my index, i almost form a fist as well when i do fast singletapstreams~

I single tap by alternating my fingers on one key.

I singletap with my middle finger and start streaming with the middle finger as well, I find it impossible to do it with the index finger :D. Can't really explain why, but I just feel it's a lot more comfortable doing that way than the opposite.
Though generally speaking, people are different, they find 1 way more comfortable than the other, so they'll stick to the way it's more comfortable and easier to play with.. it's standard.

They like to flip inferior players the bird.

How cute

I tested with middle finger and I could suddenly full-300 170 bpm streams, so it seems it's better than index after all

middle finger is the strongest ;D:D:D:_D_:D

I do middle finger since the very beginning

Just as it was already said, it really is a matter of preference. Most top players singletap with index finger, less people singletap with middle finger. My middle finger hurts if I singletap with it too much.

why would you single tap with a tablet

you're going to wreck the surface so hard

My tablet is still okay from all that tablet tapping.

Maybe it's easier for them to? Most players I've seen tapped with their pointer and middle on the z and x keys; so I'm not really sure XD I've seen a few people who've only tapped with their middle finger, they were quiet fast at it so maybe it was just easier for them. It's pretty rare though, or at least for me

I do it when I'm frustrated ~

the same happens to me LOL btw do u still singletap with ur middle?

It felt natural to me back when I started playing and single tapped. I also notice my strength and control is stronger with my middle finger on my left hand, but I'm two key scrub tier now.

I started with my index finger and then one day when I felt the need to alternate at certain parts on a map, I switched to the middle finger as my primary finger and I haven't turned back since. I felt I was both faster and more accurate with it.

My story as well, though not for the same reasons.
I spent 2 years on my index finger. Changed to middle one day... practically instant improvement.
