I'm surprised this hasn't been posted before.

I use my left thumb. I've tried typing and hitting it with my right hand but it just slows me down and then usually the next word's letters are all jumbled up. Heh plus it's funny because you can see like an oily spot where the paint has been shined up a little on the left side of the bar.

I seem to switch between my index fingers and left thumb, actually.

Gaming, it gets my left pinky, since I use the arrowkeys.

Left mainly... But where's the Both option? ANd sometimes I use myfingers... Actually, I have found out I use the middle finger on my right hand to hit it most of the time...

For gaming I use the left though.

I'm surprised there are so many people who hit it with their left hand since the majority of people are right-handed. Oh and I didn't put "both thumbs" because hitting the bar down with both is just a waste of energy

You know what? I actually do it with both! Ambidextrous, my friend...
But I'll put right as that is my slightly dominant hand!

To be honest, you should have qualified if this is in typing or BF2!

Typing = mainly right.
BF2 = mainly left (and some fingers/ sometimes right when typing)

Where's the option for 'Both' ?

Which is what I use (not at the same time) - right hand when I typing, left when playing bf2...

Well I figured it'd be pretty obvious which thumb you hit the spacebar with to jump in BF2 considering your right hand is on the mouse

Is it surprising? thought most people used W A S D/space with their left hand lol, my right hand is busy trying to aim.

So yes, left thumb for space.

I thought you meant in game, but I know you mean typing.

I learned typing with my left thumb for the Space Bar. I know it's supposed to be right for right-handers, but fuck it. That's just how I learned it. 74 WPM isn't that bad IMO.

(Btw, you might want to ask a mod to change the thread title to "What thumb do you use for typing?")
