Today's Fun Fact: Why are the F and J keys raised? It's a secret design for touch typing!

 

The keyboard you use every day actually hides a little secret you might never have noticed: the tiny raised lines on the F and J keys aren't just decoration; they're designed to help users with "touch typing."

Purpose of the Raised Lines: These small raised lines allow typists to quickly find the correct starting position by touch without looking at the keyboard.

Typing Positioning Rule: Place your index fingers on the F and J keys, and let your other fingers naturally fall on the eight basic keys: A, S, D, F, J, K, L, and ;. This enters an efficient typing mode.

Design Intent: Many keyboard brands (such as HP) have stated that this design is to improve the user's typing efficiency.

If you consider yourself a slow typist, try this positioning technique; it might make typing smoother!
