1-Min Typing Test / Typing Guide / Finger-to-key map
Finger-to-key map
The finger breakdown on the result screen assumes a standard touch-typing layout. This page shows that assumption directly so you can match each finger label to the actual keys it covers.
Use it when the result says one finger is breaking down more often and you want to confirm which key group to review next.
Color-coded keyboard
The analyzed keys a-z plus - and ? are grouped by finger. F and J are marked as the home-position anchors.
Legend
How to read home position
When you feel lost, check whether your fingers can reset toward F and J before the next reach. That makes the finger breakdown easier to use in practice.
Assumption and limits
This guide matches a standard romanized touch-typing layout. It does not try to detect personal finger habits or non-standard reaches.

Practice steps by finger
Once one finger stands out in the breakdown, use a short check before returning to full passages.
1. Reset to home
Place your index fingers on F and J, then check whether every reach returns to that anchor. Do not measure speed yet.
2. Isolate one finger
Practice only the keys handled by the weak finger in short two-to-four character groups. Keep the target narrow enough to see the mistake.
3. Retest for one minute
Return to the typing test and compare accuracy and concentrated misses before chasing a higher speed score.
Common finger-map mistakes
Typing issues often come from a workaround that feels faster for one key but slows down the next reach.
Borrowing a nearby finger
Using a ring finger for pinky keys can work once, but it often delays the reset before the next letter.
Skipping the home reset
When your fingers drift after each word, the next key becomes a search task. Reset toward F and J before the next reach.
Drilling one key too long
Single-key drills do not reproduce real word transitions. Use them briefly, then move back to short words or sentences.
Weak-point menu
Match the result-screen finger label to this map and choose one practice target for the next run.
Left hand breaks down
Review A/S/D/F, Q/W/E/R, and Z/X/C/V in a narrow set. Split the target by pinky, ring, middle, or index finger.
Right hand breaks down
Review J/K/L, U/I/O/P, and punctuation-side reaches. The right side often fails when symbols appear between words.
Speed rises but accuracy falls
Stop chasing KPM for one run and check whether the same finger still collects most errors.

Open the result screen, compare the finger breakdown with this map, and narrow your next practice target to one key group.
