Introduction to Knowing Fingers

Your Typing Fingers

Click on each finger to learn its name and role in typing. Understanding your fingers' positions and responsibilities is the first step to becoming a proficient touch typist.

Correct Finger Placement

To type efficiently, it's crucial to maintain proper finger placement on the keyboard. Here are the key points to remember:

  • Keep your palms facing down, floating slightly above the keyboard.
  • Point your thumbs toward each other, resting them lightly on the spacebar.
  • Place your index fingers on the F and J keys. These keys have small raised bumps to help you find them without looking.
  • The rest of your fingers should naturally fall on the surrounding keys in the home row (ASDF for the left hand, JKL; for the right hand).
  • When typing other keys, always return your fingers to their home row position. This helps you find keys more easily and improves your overall typing speed and accuracy.
