Tips
01

S is your left ring finger, L is your right ring finger — one step outside D and K on the home row.

02

S and L are mirror images — equal distance, opposite hands. Master one and the other comes almost for free.

03

Keep F and J as your anchors. Only your ring finger moves outward for S or L — the rest of the hand stays put.

04

Ring fingers are naturally weaker. Slow down deliberately on S and L at first — accuracy on weak fingers matters most.

05

Eyes on screen. With six home row keys, the whole inner row is now reachable without moving your wrists at all.
