You do it with your Thumb, and once you do you can’t go back and then you do not understand how this dumb design of putting Ctrl in most uncomfortable position in the world was made.

When you type blindly, your fingers are on asdf-jkl; row and your thumb easily finds Cmd key near the spacebar. How on earth anyone can press Control in the corner without moving your hand from comfortable row for blind typing?

Pressing it with your palm works surprisingly well. It's even doable on shallow laptop keyboards after a while.

I dunno about others, but I've always used my pinkie to press Ctrl. And it doesn't require moving the fingers away from the home row.
