Typing Tips & Techniques
Master touch typing with these fundamental guidelines.
Home Row Positioning
Place your index fingers on F and J (look for the tactile bumps). Rest remaining fingers on A-S-D and K-L-;.
Don't Look at the Keyboard
Keep your eyes on the screen. Relying on visual feedback builds muscle memory far faster.
Accuracy First, Speed Second
Focus on typing correctly before trying to type fast. Mistakes break your rhythm and drop your net WPM.
Maintain Good Posture
Sit up straight with feet flat on the floor. Keep elbows at a 90-degree angle to reduce strain.
Practice Consistently
Short 10-15 minute daily practice sessions are much more effective than long occasional marathons.
Use All 10 Fingers
Assign specific fingers to specific keys rather than hunting and pecking with two index fingers.
