Little habits. Happy hands.
A comfortable setup. A little practice. A good place to begin.
Choose a keyboard that fits youStart with your device and layout. Read the guideClose the guide
Start with your device and layout. Check compatibility, connection type and the keys you need. A full-size board includes a number pad; a compact board saves desk space but may hide keys behind shortcuts. Match the layout to the language you type. Try a keyboard in person when possible.
Try it in practice →Comfort before speedKeep your shoulders relaxed, feet supported and wrists in a comfortable neutral position. Read the guideClose the guide
Keep your shoulders relaxed, feet supported and wrists in a comfortable neutral position. Bring the keyboard close enough that you do not need to reach. Use light key presses. Take regular breaks; stop and adjust your setup if typing hurts. An expensive keyboard does not replace comfortable habits.

Begin with the first lesson and use the highlighted finger for each key. Aim for steady accuracy before speed. Complete a short lesson, then try a game to use the same skills. Repeat a difficult lesson before moving on. Five focused minutes is a useful starting routine.

Check the seller, return policy, warranty, shipping cost and current price on the retailer’s website. Listen to switch sound samples if noise matters, but remember recordings vary. Mechanical, membrane and low-profile keyboards feel different; no single switch is best for everyone. Children should ask a parent or guardian before shopping.
Try it in practice →Your first five minutesChoose a US or JIS keyboard layout that matches your physical keyboard. Read the guideClose the guide
Choose a US or JIS keyboard layout that matches your physical keyboard. Start lesson 1 and find the bumps on F and J. Keep both hands relaxed. Type slowly, use one thumb for spaces, and correct a mistake with Backspace. Finish the passage at the required accuracy to unlock the next lesson. Repeat a lesson whenever you want. If you are using a phone, use the on-screen keyboard; desktop finger positions are not a requirement for touch practice.
Try it in practice →Read your results and practise weak keysWords per minute estimates speed using five characters per word; it is not a count of dictionary words. Read the guideClose the guide
Words per minute estimates speed using five characters per word; it is not a count of dictionary words. Accuracy and missed keys show what to practise next. Correcting a typo is useful, but it does not erase the original error from accuracy. Choose one awkward key pair or repeat the relevant lesson. Compare sessions using the same mode and input device. Phone and physical-keyboard results are tracked separately. Do not rush to match someone else’s speed.
Try it in practice →Japanese romaji: what this course teachesThese lessons teach the displayed romaji keystrokes for Japanese sounds. Read the guideClose the guide
These lessons teach the displayed romaji keystrokes for Japanese sounds. They are not an IME kanji-conversion test. Use the exact spelling shown: this course uses shi, chi, tsu and fu, and uses nn for ん. Small ゃ, ゅ and ょ combine with a consonant (kya); small っ usually doubles the following consonant (kitte). Long vowels need the displayed vowel sequence (ou or oo). Other spellings can work in an IME but may not match this exercise. Pause the session if your device starts composing kana unexpectedly.
Try it in practice →Choose a game for a purposeFalling words trains finding and finishing a target; choose a word and type it before it falls. Read the guideClose the guide
Falling words trains finding and finishing a target; choose a word and type it before it falls. Memory Trail asks you to remember a sequence, then type it in order after the preview. Patrol trains timely responses to approaching words. Boat Race follows passage accuracy and pace against a practice ghost. Smoothie Shop asks you to type the remaining ingredients in any order. Zen offers passage practice without a competitive target. Read the rules before starting; some games unlock as you finish lessons. Try one skill, take a break, then replay for a different goal.

Practice works without signing in. Local progress belongs to this browser and website address. Export a backup in Settings before clearing browser data, moving domains or replacing progress. Cloud save is optional; review which profile you are linking and resolve a conflict before replacing another device’s save. Signing out does not erase local profiles. On a shared computer, sign out and remove your local profile when finished. Do not use a child’s full name as a profile nickname.
Try it in practice →A parent or teacher’s short practice planBegin with a comfortable seat and the correct keyboard layout. Read the guideClose the guide
Begin with a comfortable seat and the correct keyboard layout. Let the learner complete one short lesson without a speed target, praise a specific skill, then choose a game that uses that skill. Keep early sessions short and stop if the learner is tired or uncomfortable. Unlocking the next lesson requires completing the current prerequisites at the configured accuracy; cosmetics do not improve scores. Bilingual interface labels do not change an English passage into Japanese. Choose the Japanese lesson track when practising romaji. Use nicknames and supervise external shopping links.
