TRAINING EXERCISES FOR THE MALTRON SINGLE HAND KEYBOARD

Exercise 21

Introducing b w x ?

Key x with the index finger, w with the middle finger, b and ? are both keyed with the little finger. You will need the shift key to get the ?. The shift key is on your thumb and it is a sticky key. This means that when you key it then it stays on but it will come off after you press the next key. Here Is A Good Place To Experiment.

Key each row three times, before you start each block finger the keys to confirm where they are:

axa h?h twt hbh axa h?h twt hbh axa h?h twt hbh

xae ?ht wth bha xae ?ht wth bha xae ?ht wth bha

xa?h bhwt wt?h xabh xa?h bhwt wt?h xabh xa?h bhwt wt?h xabh

Relax your hand for a minute - shake it gently to ensure a good blood supply, bend and straighten the fingers.

Now key the following blocks - without looking at your fingers.

axa h?h twt hbh axa h?h twt hbh axa h?h twt hbh

xae ?ht wth bha xae ?ht wth bha xae ?ht wth bha

xa?h bhwt wt?h xabh xa?h bhwt wt?h xabh xa?h bhwt wt?h xabh

Remember to relax thoroughly. Is your keyboard still angled correctly? Remember it should be at an angle to you.
