What Is Touch Typing?
Touch typing is the skill of typing without looking at the keyboard. You rely on muscle memory instead of vision. This allows you to type faster, more accurately, and with much less effort over long periods.
🎯 Why Should You Learn Touch Typing?
- Increases productivity and typing speed.
- Improves accuracy and reduces mistakes.
- Helps you focus on the screen instead of key positions.
- Builds long-term muscle memory for all keyboard rows.
⚡ Touch Typing Basics
The keyboard is divided into three main rows you must master:
- Home Row: ASDF (left hand) and JKL; (right hand)
- Top Row: QWERTYUIOP
- Bottom Row: ZXCVBNM,./
Your fingers should always return to the Home Row. This builds consistency and speed automatically.
🧠 How to Practice Properly
- Keep your eyes on the screen, not the keyboard.
- Sit straight, relax your shoulders, and keep wrists lifted.
- Start slow — accuracy is more important than speed.
- Practice daily for 10–15 minutes.
- Avoid pressing keys too hard — be gentle.
