How does it work?
The Half-QWERTY typing technique is very
similar to the standard two-handed touch-
typing technique...
You place your hand where it would normally
be if you were touch-typing – that takes care
of that half of the keyboard.
To type the letters of the other half, you hold	left hand
down the space bar with your thumb and do the
same finger movement that you would normally
do with the other hand. It’s that easy!
Tapping the space bar alone still types a space.
The relative finger movements used for
one-handed typing are the same as those
used for two-handed typing. So, if you’re
already a touch-typist, you already know
them. You should be typing one-handed in	right hand
a matter of minutes.

HALF-QWERTYKEYBOARD LAYOUT

Use either hand – or both.

The Half-QWERTY keyboard allows one-handed typing using either hand, or both, just like a standard keyboard.

The one-handed typing capability can be switched on or off by the user, as desired, using the “1/2” key.

both hands

Can other people still use my keyboard?

Yes. The keyboard can still be used for regular two-handed typing. Half-QWERTY won’t interfere.

How fast can I learn it?

If you’ve never learned to type before, learning Half-QWERTY will take roughly the time it would take to learn standard two- handed touch-typing.

However, if you are a trained touch-typist, you can learn Half-QWERTY in a matter of minutes, with little or no retraining.

Published empirical research, conducted by the University of Toronto’s Input Research Group, found that (on average) a touch- typist can learn Half-QWERTY in 1/3 the time it takes to learn a one-handed chord keyboard. Half-QWERTY’s innovative “skill transfer” design makes this possible. For more information, please visit www.half-qwerty.com/research

How fast can I type?

expect to reach speeds of between 61% and 91% of those achievable by two-handed typists. Typing speeds as high as 64 words per minute (wpm) have been recorded.

Sticky Keys

Sticky Keys is a feature that makes typing modifier-key sequences (e.g., capital letters) easier for one-handed typists, in that you no longer have to type the modifier (e.g.: Shift, Control, Alt) and the key being modified simultaneously. You can type them in succession.

Depressing and releasing a modifier key once makes it active for the next key typed. Pressing it twice locks it until it is unlocked by pressing the modifier again.

to adapt to typing on it... From the get go, my fingers knew how to type...”
