Hello! I have been waiting for two years to be able to write this post, because that is how long it took me to master the touch typing method perfectly thanks to the simulator.
To be completely honest, in fact, I was able to learn to type quickly on the keyboard blindly with all 10 fingers much earlier, I just promised myself that until I completed 100 exercises of the SOLO on the keyboard typing simulator, I would not consider that I achieved the task, which I publicly announced back in "".
As a child, it was something out of the ordinary for me to see how someone is typing looking at the monitor screen, and not poking two fingers with their nose hanging over the keyboard.
In view of the fact that the Internet came into my life early, I don’t remember exactly when it was, most likely in the 5th grade, and this is somewhere around the beginning of 2000.
There were no social networks then, and I spent almost all my online time on forums. It was then that thoughts about fast printing began to come to mind, because it was hard to communicate with forum users when answers to my one sentence came on the topic of free writing.
I understood that these people obviously do not type such petitions with two fingers and spent a lot of time to master this technique.
After some intrigue, I was advised to sign up for some kind of typing training course or use special programs, of which there were a lot of them on the net.
Since I live in small town and we didn’t take similar courses on the blind typing method, and I wasn’t going to go to any classes at such a young age, so it was enough to sit at a desk at school, and here after school you have to spend time, and even pay money . How would I explain this to my parents?
Therefore, there was nothing left but to use special programs (simulator) for teaching the blind typing method on the keyboard, one of which was "SOLO on the keyboard" but it wasn't all that easy...
Due to the fact that I was very young and I had completely different interests in my head, I went through only a few exercises and abandoned this business.
After 8 years, when I was already finishing my studies at a technical school, read more about this in the article "", we needed to make some inquiries, and we went to the bureau to issue these papers. Usually employees work in such places, for whom it is simply a necessity to be able to type blindly, because they have to type hundreds of documents in a day.
After I saw with my own eyes how fluently all 10 fingers can fly, I firmly wanted to resume my old training and even started doing it, but after a couple of exercises I needed to reinstall Windows, where, upon completion of the work, I forgot to transfer the saved lessons to another disk.
A few years later, I started this blog site and scribbled posts for six months, burying my nose in the keys, that's when I realized that I would not be enough for a long time and I had to master the art of fast blind typing for the third time and the last, which I successfully did.
Advantages of printing with 10 fingers
Most will say, why is it needed? Wasting precious time on passing all sorts of courses, paying more money for it when you can do without such sacrifices.
Just think someone writes without looking at the keys, but look how many people around who reach breakneck speed by typing with just two fingers.
Personally, I think that these are all excuses for doing nothing, because the blind printing method actually provides a number of advantages:
1) Save time. Like it or not, and when using 10 fingers at the same time, it will turn out to type texts in a shorter period of time than I do the same work the old fashioned way.
2) No fatigue. Typing is more rhythmic, which allows you not to get tired so much, both mentally and physically. On the contrary, you begin to enjoy watching how all the fingers quickly run along the cherished keys.
3) Text quality. In order for the articles to be interesting, you need to learn how to logically express your thoughts. And now let's imagine that some text is being formed in your head, but you do not have time to write it down, because you have to spend time searching for the right letters.
As a result, the thought leaves, and you no longer know what you were thinking about, you have to return to it again, which negatively affects the quality of the text. Perhaps this is the most important point, because of which the majority begin training.
4) Protect your health. Scientists have proven that permanent transfer looking from the monitor screen to the keyboard and vice versa harms the eyes. For example, I used to often get a slight dizziness from such writings, but now all the ailments are gone.
5) Earnings. A lot of professions where the ability to quickly print can come in handy, take the same copywriting or blogging. Also, this skill can be paid attention to when applying for a certain type of work. In general, know that in the most difficult time you will not be left without a livelihood.
How to learn to type with 10 fingers
Now on many sites you can find information where the authors tell how they learned to type without stroking the keys without using tutorials, and that such programs will not be able to help novice copywriters at all.
I believe that this is not true, because I myself came to such training and I can say that specialists know better in what sequence and how to conduct classes.
Think for yourself what is the point of typing complex words from the first lesson, when you have not even mastered the arrangement of letters.
Personally, I have been trained in the "Keyboard Solo" program and I do not regret it at all. Of course, I do not have a super fast technique and an error-free writing technique, and I still have room to improve, but in general I am satisfied with the result.
For those who also decided to learn how to quickly type using a keyboard simulator, I want to say right away that the course consists of 100 exercises, but only the first 20 or 40 of them are available for free.
But do not rush to get upset, because I found a hacked version of the program on the net with a complete set of training. Who seeks will always find)))
So, what awaits you inside this program...
The author V. V. Shakhidzhanyan from the first lessons will explain why the letters on the keyboard are arranged in the order you see them now, and will also show how to sit and hold your fingers correctly, because each of them is responsible for a certain letter.
If you look closely at the arrangement of the letters, you will see that they occupy such positions on the basis of their frequent use. That is, those letters that are pressed more times are shifted to the center under the index and middle fingers, and the most rarely used ones: x, b, e, d, y, e and others are divorced in the corners.
Further, the keyboard is conditionally divided into two parts, under the left and right hand. Center row where the letters FYVA And OLJ is considered to be a reference, that is, fingers should always be above these letters and work should begin from these positions.
Look closely and you will see that all keyboards have protrusions on the letter A and O, so that when you feel for them, you understand that your hands are in the correct position.
F- little finger of the left hand;
S- ring finger of the left hand;
IN- middle finger of the left hand;
A- index finger of the left hand.
ABOUT- index of the right hand;
L- middle finger of the right hand;
D- ring finger of the right hand;
AND- little finger of the right hand.
Space- thumbs.
It turns out that your fingers all the time seem to hover over these letters. For example, you need to write the letter I, for this, transfer the left little finger from the letter F to I and return it back to the original one and work with all letters according to this principle.
Where and with which finger to press you should have noticed from the previous figure or see a specific list.
In general, at first you will be typing only letters from the central row for several lessons, at first each one separately, and gradually move on to simple syllables and words.
Most importantly, do all the exercises honestly, without lowering your head to the keys, even at the moment when you cannot complete some exercise 20 times.
Gradually, you will learn the letters of the upper and lower rows, and then move on to writing numbers and choosing upper and lower case (Shift key).
The final feature will be the 100th exercise, after which a salute will sound in your honor and it will be possible to pass the exam.
Upon completion of the entire course, you will be typing texts at a speed of about 200 characters per minute, but this is all individual and depends on how much you train outside of the program.
For example, I constantly write articles for this blog, so upon completion of the training, the last tasks were completed at a speed of about 260 characters per minute, and I started the very first lessons in general with 60.
In total, it took me exactly 2 years to complete 100 keyboard exercises. You may say that this is a very long time, but do not forget that I did not have so much time for it, because I work offline, I have a family, and this is a blog, and a number of other test projects.
It turns out that I didn’t have as much time left to start typing quickly on the keyboard as I would like.
And even after I passed 60 exercises, then he began to type texts without looking at the keys. As a result, the motivation to study further disappeared, because I had already started writing articles with 10 fingers, what else was needed, and the speed itself should have increased over time.
But I like to finish what I started, so when the blog had "" I publicly announced that by the next his birthday, I would definitely complete all 100 Keyboard Solo exercises. No sooner said than done!
Programs and online services for learning
In addition to the above program, there are others, as well as online service s where you can compete with other students in real time.
SOLO on keyboards e ”is a tutorial that I personally used. You can download it on the official website of the developers - ergosolo.ru
Stamina — free program touch typing training. In terms of functionality, it is inferior to competitors, but it also gained popularity among users, thanks to the most ridiculous help. Official site - stamina.ru
"VerseQ"- another free simulator where the developers have made a bias on the speed of learning, claiming that after a few hours of training you will be able to type your first text without lowering your eyes to the keyboard. You can download the program from the official website - verseq.ru
"Klavogonki" is an online service similar to a game where you have to overtake rivals by quickly typing the proposed text - klavogonki.ru
"All 10"- online simulator based on 10 exercises - vse10.ru
"VerseQ Online"— an online service that was developed similar to the VerseQ program — online.verseq.ru

This article can be completed, if you have not yet asked for such training, then it's time to do it.
And for those readers who were able to master typing with all fingers, please tell us in the comments what services or programs you use to improve your skills. Bye!
It’s really quite difficult to learn how to quickly type text on the keyboard, there are no options, you will have to master the blind ten-finger typing method, this is when you don’t look at the keyboard, but only at the screen, while pressing the keys with the right letters correctly. I have a very deplorable situation with this case, I type sentences, poking out into the keyboard, and then checking for errors, in general, I spend a lot of extra time. The best keyboard simulator for learning the blind ten-finger typing method today is Stamina.
The installation of the program is standard, the standard list of questions, the license agreement and in which folder to install everything. It's nice that this short procedure takes place in Russian.
Before you start your workouts, I recommend that you get into the help file and get acquainted with how to place your fingers on the keyboard correctly, believe me, after that, the training will go much more fun and easier. After that, we can press the start and start learning, which consists of separate lessons, with increasing complexity, gradually getting used to the standard combination of letters to complex phrases. For those who find the lessons boring, they can switch to the “Phrases” mode or upload their own text file. Extreme people can choose “ALL letters”, where a hodgepodge of letters, numbers, punctuation marks and other printed characters will run, after such a mockery, they will definitely learn how to type texts of any complexity without looking at the keyboard.
To make it easier to understand where the desired key is located, which must be pressed, and not be distracted from the screen, it is highlighted on the virtual keyboard. Plus, we singled out the contours with which fingers it is more convenient to press a certain block of keys, with the correct position of the hands.
After each lesson, statistics are given, how many mistakes were made, and what is the speed of typing characters per minute. The same information can be seen at any time by clicking "Progress" in the main menu, but only if working in the "Phrases" mode. 
Separately, it is worth mentioning the peculiar sense of humor of the author of the program, which permeates everything, from the inscriptions, the help file to the soundtrack. The mood will definitely lift, although some may not like all these farts, grunts coming from the speakers. The most extreme sound can be turned off in the program settings, but you can get rid of all sounds by performing a surgical intervention by deleting the contents of the Sound folder.
Stamina even got its own player (very simple and very peculiar) that will brighten up your life while you are engaged. serious business. To add a separate song, a folder with your favorite music or edit a playlist, press "F12" or go from the main menu "Options->List of songs ...", then I think you will figure out what to do and what buttons to press.
In Settings, you can change the sound volume for different events and adjust appearance programs in accordance with their concepts of beauty.
Now I will give you some advice. Run the program in Windows 7 only as an administrator, then errors will not pop up that some files are missing. The program comes with ready-made dictionaries in Russian, English, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Portuguese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish for learning touch typing . If you can't add Stamina to work on one of them, check that this input language is installed in the operating system, after which everything should work. 
First of all, Stamina captivates with its seemingly frivolous approach to business, but this does not mean that it cannot teach you how to quickly touch type, that's all right. The main thing is not to stop half way, but go the way of a student and become a master.
Works great in 32 and 64 bit operating systems. The program interface has been translated into several languages, including Russian, and who doubted, our compatriot made it. The language is selected automatically depending on the settings of your operating system.

How to learn to type quickly on the keyboard?- this question is asked by users who often work with a computer. Many people want to know how "hackers" in films tap out texts with high speed without looking at the keyboard. This whole process is called blind printing. To learn how to quickly type on the keyboard, it is not necessary to take special courses, touch typing can be mastered absolutely free.
Methods for learning fast touch typing on a computer keyboard:
- Download for free a keyboard trainer teaching a ten-finger touch typing method;
- Download a self-study book with exercises and ten-finger typing rules;
- Practice with a keyboard simulator online;
- Type texts on the keyboard with a blind typing method, communicating in in social networks, ICQ, remembering the rules of touch typing on the keyboard.
Those who want to learn how to type quickly usually want to know how long it takes to master fast touch typing.
- It all depends on how much time you will devote to learning, which keyboard trainer you choose.If you practice all day, you can achieve success in a week. If, after work, you devote 1-2 hours a day to classes, then at least two weeks or even more. The main thing is to practice systematically and not give up classes.
Having mastered the blind ten-finger typing, you will immediately receive several “pluses”:
- Saving time;
- Save your eyesight
- Reduce fatigue when working with a computer;
- You will not forget what you wanted to score;
- bold point to my own summary: the blind ten-finger method increases productivity when working on a computer.
Basic rules of the blind ten-finger method:
Last year I set myself the goal of mastering touch typing. I reached it fairly quickly. I don't remember exactly now, but I don't think it took me more than a few weeks. It could have been faster, even much faster, but it was not always possible to devote time to training. Now I decided to master the Latin layout, and I want to say that the second layout is much faster to master. In fact, it can be done even in one weekend. Of course, I'm not saying right now that you'll be typing at 300 characters per minute, but at least you won't be looking at the keyboard. Today I decided to write about keyboard simulators for touch typing, and in general about what touch typing is and who needs it.
Why do you need touch typing?
Just answer one question for yourself - how often do you type text on the keyboard? I can guess the answer. Of course, often! This may be a banal correspondence on social networks, or there may be more serious things - graduate work(if you write yourself), work reports, copywriting (if). Can you imagine how much time you could save if it took you, say, 5 times less time to type. And this is not the limit.
Yes, first of all touch typing allows you to increase your typing speed. Ideally, you will be able to type at the speed of thought, even much faster than writing with a regular ballpoint pen. You will not think about which key to press, your fingers will do it subconsciously. It will be hard at first, but then you will start to enjoy it. You just need to get over yourself.
In addition, blind typing is good for the brain. To master touch typing at a high level, your brain will have to create great amount neural connections. And in general, fine motor skills of the hands in itself also have a very positive effect on brain function. So print more.
What are touch typing keyboard trainers?
Well, first of all, there are online keyboard trainers touch typing and offline simulators. There is nothing special to explain here. You will use the first (online simulators) through an Internet browser, and if registration is provided there, then you will be able to train not only at home. And the second type of simulators (offline) involves installing the program on your computer with all the ensuing consequences. I prefer online simulators, but, of course, they need constant access to the Internet.
Also you can meet free keyboard simulators and paid ones. Personally, it seems to me that the difference is small, although I can’t really compare, because I myself used only free simulators. Here, as in everyday life, everything depends on the person. More precisely, on whether he knows how to achieve his goals or not. By the way, this is a great chance to test this quality in yourself.
More keyboard simulators can be divided by interest. This is of course an amateur, but personally I like it when training is built in the form of a game and is divided into levels when there are some achievements, points, competitions and other game shnyag. It draws you into the training process, and you don’t even notice how you develop your touch typing skill step by step. In a word, have fun and enjoy your time.
Well, I think it's time to move on to a review of popular touch typing keyboard trainers. I will not divide them by any gender and sort them somehow, but simply describe and, possibly, collect the basic information in a small table for easy comparison. I will not describe everything, but only those to which the soul lies.
All 10 - Free Online Touch Typing Trainer
All 10(website) is one of the best free touch typing simulators. It was on it that I mastered the ten-finger set, so I will describe it first. The site itself looks quite nice and does not bother you for a long time on it.
Interface "All 10"
Training is built on levels. Cope with the task went to next level, failed - pound Claudius until you pass! Tasks from level to level, in principle, do not differ, but only the number of keys on which you need to flutter like a bird differs. To pass the level, you need to type the provided text at a speed of at least 50 characters per minute and at the same time you are allowed to make no more than 2 mistakes. Well, these are the minimum requirements, but purely for yourself, you can set a goal to sit at the same level until the speed is, say, 120 characters per minute.
Training can be held in Russian and English. What I actually do now is to pass the levels in English.
After training, you can get certified. For some reason I didn't go through, I have to go through.
The service also has statistics for each lesson, where you can compare your results with the average and with the best results.
In principle, this keyboard trainer alone will be enough for you to learn touch typing. But for the sake of decency, let's look at other interesting simulators.
Keyboard racing is an exciting online game. Blind typing won't get you far
Clavogonki(website) is a truly unique creation that combines all the best that can be needed to learn high-speed touch typing. Just take a look at the table of the best players. The fastest player this week set a record in 892 characters per minute. Can you imagine? 15 characters per second!
Clavogonki: choose a race
There is a development system, ranks, points that can be spent on all sorts of bonuses and other things inherent in any game world.
The only drawback is that if you are a beginner, then you have nothing to do here! This typing trainer can teach you speed typing, but it's unlikely to teach you blind typing from scratch.
Klavarog (klavarog) - professional free typing trainer online
talking about Clavarog(website), it’s easier to start with its shortcomings, because there are very few of them, and then move on to its advantages, which will help you quickly forget about the shortcomings.
The only downsides to this typing trainer are that it doesn't register and doesn't remember your progress. That's all! Oh yes, the interface also looks a little old-fashioned and too simple, but there is nothing superfluous and nothing distracts from the touch typing learning process.
Clavarog: a complete professional set
Now let's move on to the benefits of Clavarog:
Languages. There are as many as 5 languages in this keyboard simulator - Russian, English, German, Ukrainian and Esperanto.
Each language has 4 difficulty levels. At the first level of difficulty "Start" you will be able to master the very basics - short repetitive words. At the second level "Beginner" there will be longer and more complex words. At the third level, you will practice typing speed. On the fourth - to type random paragraphs of text from books.
In addition to the usual national languages (not counting Esperanto), you will be able to learn touch typing course specifically for programming languages, taking into account the peculiarities of the syntax of each of them. The most popular programming languages are collected, among which you will find JavaScript, PHP, Python, C, C++, Go, Pascal, SQL, XML/XSLT. If you are a programmer, then this keyboard simulator will be effective for you.
There are also different keyboard layout options for each language. You are probably only familiar with qwerty, because all keyboards on computers and laptops have this layout. This is when the top row of letters begins with the Latin letters qwerty. However, there are other layouts as well. They are less popular and certainly less familiar. ordinary person, but people who master them claim that they are more convenient and you can achieve better results on them (meaning the speed of typing). Among these layouts are dvorak, ant, workman, klausler, jcuken and others…
Programmers most often work with alternative types of layouts. So if you are a programmer, then this touch typing keyboard simulator will suit you doubly.
Touch Typing Study - another good touch typing typing trainer (online)
Big advantage Touch Typing Study(website) is a huge number of languages. But will it be a plus for you? I think not, unless you are a polyglot linguist. Otherwise, this resource is not much different from its counterparts.
Touch Typing Study - simple but no less effective
It is possible to register, but it is optional, since all lessons and exercises are available without registration.
There are also some original games not like Tetris or snake... although they are more like moving crossword puzzles, xs how to describe it, you just need to see and feel it. Here for the games they have a separate plus from me, after all, the games are very addictive in the process and I am always FOR this approach to learning.
By the way, like all keyboard trainers that I describe, Touch Typing Study is completely free. Use to your heart's content as much as you like.
Touch typing: top keyboard trainers
I did not describe all of these simulators in the article, because I described only online and free keyboard simulators, but, nevertheless, these are worthy candidates for you to learn about them. Perhaps someone is not against paid education. And it’s more convenient for someone to download the program to a computer, you never know, maybe the Internet at home is not always the case ... in general, here it is!
Rating of keyboard trainers
Let's try to choose best keyboard trainer of those presented in the voting form. If you have come across them, you can choose the one that you like best. If not, select the last item to see the voting results. I will add my vote too. If you like several keyboard simulators, and you can't choose the best one, then vote for 2 at once. You can't vote for 3.
Conclusion:
Is touch typing difficult to learn? I think not! Especially given the abundance of tools provided for this. Do you need blind printing? It's up to you, but I think that this skill will definitely not be superfluous.
My typing speed in the Russian layout is now about 150 characters per minute, in English - about 90-100 characters per minute. I achieved this using a free online typing trainer " All 10". But the speed is small, I agree. Therefore, after completing the English layout course, I plan to hone my typing on the resource " Clavogonki". What are you training on?
PS: by the way, I have not increased the typing speed on the Russian layout. But he pulled up the English one almost to the same speed as the Russian one.

Speed blind typing training
How can you learn to type quickly with the blind method? There are several ways:
Layouts and keyboards
If you appreciated the benefits of touch typing and decided to learn, then I will tell you about what keyboard layouts are and about the types of keyboards.
Keyboard layouts
Keyboard layout this is a typographical convention (letters, numbers, special characters) of a specific language computer keyboard keys, typewriter or other text input device.
Mechanical nesting this is the shape, size and relative position of the keys on the keyboard;
Visual layout— labeling of keys;
Functional layout- values entered by single or joint keystrokes.
There can be several layouts for one language, for example for English- QWERTY and Dvorak, for Russian- YTSUKEN and phonetic layout.
I think this information will be enough to understand what a layout is. If you want to know more - read from which this material is taken.
Types and types of keyboards
Today, the market provides us with a wide selection of keyboards, different in form, functionality, and devices.
Keyboard types: membrane, scissor, mechanical.
The most common today are membrane keyboards, which at the heart of the design have a flexible membrane, which, when pressed, is pressed through and closes the contacts of the printed circuit board. Such keyboards usually have a low cost and a relatively short lifespan. In practice, you can use for several years. Suitable for home and office. The declared resource of the keys is 5,000,000 keystrokes (for each key). Over time, the elasticity of the membrane decreases.
Scissor keyboards (notebook)- The advantage of these keyboards is the increased clarity of pressing. It doesn't matter if you press the key in the center or on the edge. It has a smaller key travel compared to the membrane. Increased service life compared to the membrane (average 10,000,000 clicks for each key). This type of keyboard is suitable for touch typing. It is not practical to use this type of keyboard for sight typing.
Mechanical keyboards- the best and oldest type of keyboards. Today, mechanical keyboards are the best, reliable and durable. The resource of the keys of such keyboards is 50,000,000 keystrokes for each key. Feelings when pressed do not change throughout the entire time of operation. When you press a key, the keyboard emits a classic keyboard click. There is a quiet type of mechanical keyboards. Also have different types mechanical switches designed for text, games, universal. This type of keyboard is the most expensive.
Still meetdome, rubber-film, capacitive, magnetic keyboards, projection, optical (photoelectric) keyboards.
Depending on the number of keys, the keyboard is divided into:
- 83-key PC and XT keyboards;
- 84-key AT keyboards;
- 101-key extended keyboards;
- 104-key extended Windows keyboards.
Depending on the type of keyboard case, there are traditional, ergonomic, flexible.
Ergonomic keyboards. The design of this type of keyboard takes into account the natural position of the hands during typing. Usually such keyboards are divided into two parts in the center. The keys are at right angles to the position of the hands when typing. These keyboards allow you to increase the speed of typing and productivity when working. Best suited for touch typing.
Flexible keyboards speak for themselves. Such keyboards are protected from dust and moisture, but it is not very convenient to use them for typing.
Traditional keyboards these are probably the well-known AT keyboards.
There are also multimedia keyboards with many function keys to quickly launch applications, shutdown from the keyboard, etc.
Landing and hand position
Landing and hand position for touch typing
Correct posture is very important when working on a personal computer.
- The chair must be properly adjusted in height;
- You need to sit straight, without touching the back of the chair.
- Feet should be kept under the table together. It is not advisable to pull them forward, put them under a chair, throw them one after another;
- Shoulders should be relaxed;
- Hands from the shoulder to the elbow joint should be freely lowered down and go parallel to the body;
- The hands should not be on the keyboard;
- Elbows should slightly touch the body;
- In the elbow joint, they need to be bent at approximately a right angle;
- The forearms should point towards the center of the keyboard;
- Fingers are freely lowered onto the keys;
- The brushes are pulled to the center;
- The forearm and elbow should be at the same level as the keyboard.
The sequence of placing hands and fingers on a computer keyboard:
- Bend your elbows, stretch your hands forward with your palms down;
- Bend the hands, touching the index fingers, thumbs should be down;
- Lower the first two phalanges of the fingers down, slightly bending them;
- Spread the brushes apart, leaving a distance of 4 cm between the index fingers;
- Put your hands on the keyboard (the index finger hits the A key of the Russian layout, the right finger hits the O key); These keys have special protrusions to always keep your hands in their original position.
If you have followed all the recommendations, then all fingers will be in the main position, touching their keys with their tips. When setting to the main position, the fingers should be slightly bent, as if the hand is holding a round object. The index fingers slightly touch the tips of the middle of the keys A and O, but do not rest on them completely.
When training, do not forget about the position of the elbows. No need to strongly press them to the body or take them to the sides. From the shoulder, the arms should be freely lowered down, otherwise the hands will take the wrong position on the keyboard.
Landing and fingering rules are taken from books by V. Andrianov.
Basic touch typing rules
- It is forbidden to look at the keyboard;
- The fingers lightly touch the main position ( F Y V A , O L D J), the thumbs are above the Space key (space);
- Each finger has its own keyboard area. It is very important. In no case do not change the fingers for the keys, even if it seems to you that it is more convenient. To understand which finger is responsible for which keys, see the diagram below;
- After pressing the keys in other rows, the fingers return to their original position;
