3D 90 QWERTY Exercise 1
Conversion Exercise from SHOLES QWERTY TO Maltron QWERTY
Exercise 1a:
The most important difference in keying on the MALTRON Qwerty lies in keying on rows that are straight up and down. The exercises given here are designed to relax your fingers into this way of keying and at the same time to eliminate the commonest errors that occur on standard QWERTY keyboards. So do work through each exercise to make the transition to the MALTRON keyboard quick and easy and also so that you will key more accurately.
It is important to remember that you should never rest the palms of your hands while keying. Always use mini finger movements.
Do not worry about keying errors, do not try to go back and delete mistakes - it is more important to key the same group a few more times and get it right than to go back and correct an error.
This is for the left hand alpha letters only.
Key each line three times as shown below.

The grouping of these letters has been carefully selected to exercise your fingers just above and just below the home row, and also working across the fingers and back again. This overall motion is part of the training - your hands will learn for themselves where the keys are.
