Take the Test →Catch falling words by typing them before they hit the bottom. A fun way to build reflexes and typing speed.
Play Game →Follow our curriculum from home row basics through advanced typing. Each lesson builds on the previous one.
Start Course →Keyboard proficiency means typing without watching your fingers. Your hands learn key positions through repetition, allowing your mind to focus entirely on content creation. This skill transforms how efficiently you work with computers.
Building this skill requires systematic practice. You begin by memorizing the home row (ASDF JKL;) where fingers rest naturally. Next, you extend reach to upper and lower rows while maintaining home position awareness. Finally, you incorporate numbers, punctuation, and special characters. Most people notice significant improvement within the first month of daily 20-minute sessions.
Your brain forms procedural memories through consistent repetition. Similar to learning a musical instrument, each finger develops its own spatial awareness. Neural pathways strengthen with practice, eventually making typing as automatic as walking. This frees mental bandwidth for higher-level thinking.
Beginners typically reach functional speeds (35-45 WPM) within 3-4 weeks. Intermediate proficiency (55-65 WPM) usually develops over 2-3 months. Advanced speeds (75+ WPM) require 4-6 months of dedicated practice. Professional-level typing (90+ WPM) may take a year or more to achieve.
