Keep your hands in the home row position (ASDF for left hand, JKL; for right hand). Your thumbs should rest on the spacebar.
Each finger should be responsible for specific keys. The index fingers should handle the F and J keys, which have small bumps to help you find the home position.
Keep your wrists straight and slightly elevated above the keyboard. Avoid resting your wrists on the desk or keyboard.
Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor. Your elbows should be at a 90-degree angle and close to your body.
Use a light touch when pressing keys. Don't pound the keyboard - gentle taps are more efficient and reduce strain.
Start with basic exercises and gradually increase speed. Focus on accuracy before speed.
Take regular breaks to stretch your hands and wrists. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Learn common keyboard shortcuts to improve efficiency and reduce mouse usage.
Consider using a mechanical keyboard for better tactile feedback and reduced finger strain during long typing sessions.
