Touch typing lessons — frequently asked questions
Where do I put my fingers?
Rest left fingers on A-S-D-F and right fingers on J-K-L-; with thumbs on the space bar. Each finger owns specific keys above and below its home position.
Do I need a special keyboard?
No. Any standard QWERTY keyboard works. Laptop keys are fine; a full-size keyboard can feel more comfortable for long practice sessions.
Should I focus on speed or accuracy first?
Accuracy first. A clean 35 WPM beats a sloppy 50 WPM because errors waste time. Speed rises naturally once your fingers know the keys.
