Tips for Success
- Reach up with just one finger while others stay on home row
- Return immediately to the home row after each keystroke
- T and Y are both pressed by your index fingers
- Keep your wrists floating, don't rest them on the desk
Finger Placement Guide
Each key is colored by the finger that should press it. The home row keys (F and J) have small bumps to help you find them without looking.
