so which finger do you use for each trigger on the 360 controller?

for the left trigger, i use the normal index finger.

however, when it comes to the right trigger, for some reason i always use my middle finger. its odd, i know. ive tried using my index finger but i cant seem to get it to work right:P. i always mess up if i use my index for the right trigger, i have to use my middle finger, its weird.

so what about you guys? am i alone and weird or do some of you also use your middle finger for the fight trigger?

I use middle fingers for triggers and index fingers for bumpers.

Same. I find it offers me more control, particularly with games that use the full range of the triggers, like a racing game.

Same here. How else do people play it? You can tap the bumpers much faster when your finger is already on it.

Index finger. I've always wanted to convert to middle fingers, but I could never get used to it.

I use both my index fingers. It makes sense to use my middle fingers for the triggers and my index fingers for the bumpers, but it just feels too weird.

I do the same thing. I'm right-handed and use my left index for the left trigger and the right middle for the right trigger. I've tried using both middles but it just does not work for me. I try braking in Forza with my left index and it's smooth and controlled. If I use my left middle, though, I lock the brakes up every time.

I use my index fingers, unless I need to use the bumpers at the same time, in which case I use my middle fingers.

I use my index fingers for both the triggers and bumpers. Using my middle finger doesn't feel right on this particular controller.

I use my index fingers for the triggers and bumpers. I've never been comfortable with using my middle finger on a controller.

I adapt to the game I am playing. games like Gears of War I use my middle and index finger for the right trigger because you need to fan the shots to have maximum firing. Other shooters I use middle for triggers, index for bumpers. It really depends on how much you need to use the bumpers for me. And for fighting games I don't even put my fingers up there because you rarely need to.
