How do you type without looking?

Fingers learn where keys live because you practice. Little bumps help them find home.

People can type without looking because their fingers learn the places of the letters. The little bumps on F and J help the fingers start in the right spot. After lots of practice, it feels like finding your cup at the table without staring at it. Your hands remember the way.

Typing without looking is called touch typing. Your fingers rest on the home row, the middle line of keys, and each finger has certain keys to press. The small bumps on F and J help your pointer fingers find their starting places by feel. With practice, your brain builds muscle memory, which means a movement becomes easy and automatic. Fun fact: many keyboards still use the QWERTY letter order from old typewriters!
