For those who play games using a controller, do you use your middle and index fingers to use the triggers or just your index fingers? (hilariouschaos.com)

On a Xbox controller, do you use just your index finger to alternate between LB and L and RB and R? Or do you use your index and middle fingers placed respectively on each individual trigger? Or do you have a completely different setup?

Likewise with PlayStation’s control scheme annd its respective control scheme and controllers with similar layouts with 4 triggers.

Personally I use just my index fingers to alternate between these but I’m realizing how inefficient this seems when I look at the controller scheme. Seems more like it would be more beneficial to use middle and index fingers but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use that? But maybe some people do? Was curious if any others out there did or knew of others who do.

I do it for Mario platformers. I just can't get any precision in my jumps when using my right thumb if it's already busy holding the run button. It looks weird, and it feels weird. I'd rather remap run to one of the trigger buttons.
