TRAINING EXERCISES FOR THE MALTRON SINGLE HAND KEYBOARD

Exercise 10

Introducing g k l q u

Key both g and q with the index finger, k with the ring finger, l with the little finger and u with the thumb.

As you start to use keys that are not on the home row you will find the finger movements feel strange. The reason for this is that moving your finger straight up and down uses a better combination of muscles than going up and down diagonally as is normal for the flat qwerty keyboard. Since you are using muscles in a new way - please don't forget to take breaks to relax and stop when your hand feels tired.

Key each row three times:

hlhu agau ekea agau hlhu agau ekea aqua hlhu agau ekea

luhe agha euke quae luhe agha euke quae luhe agha euke

lhnh gfua kuea qhya lhnh gfua kuea qhya lhnh gfua kuea

Now repeat the exercise again below:

hlhu agau ekea agau hlhu agau ekea aqua hlhu agau ekea

luhe agha euke quae luhe agha euke quae luhe agha euke

lhnh gfua kuea qhya lhnh gfua kuea qhya lhnh gfua kuea

Remember to relax thoroughly.

Repeat exercise 10 until you can do it without watching your fingers.
