Typing Style

Observe your typing style and notice how you use your fingers and hands. Avoid keeping any unnecessary tension in your thumbs and fingers. Observe whether you have a heavy touch or a light touch while typing. Use the minimum amount of force needed to depress the keys.

Reaching for Keys and Key Combinations

To reach keys that are not near your keyboard’s home row, move your whole arm; avoid stretching your fingers and angling your wrists.When pressing two keys simultaneously, such as Ctrl+C or Alt+F, use two hands instead of contorting one hand to reach both keys.

RIGHT

Relax your thumbs and fingers while typing and pointing; notice and release excess tension.

WRONG!

Don’t type or point with unnecessary tension in your thumbs and fingers.

TIPS

Keep it light

If your typing is on the heavy side, teach yourself to lighten up. Press the keys more gently.

“Hunt-and-peck” typing

Non-touch-typing causes the neck to bend forward repeatedly. To minimize this repetitive movement, learn how to touch-type so you don’t need to look down at the keyboard as often.

AVOID!

Avoid banging on the keys.

Don't use more force than needed to press the keys.
