Typing Guides
In-depth guides written for this site — everything you need to understand your results and improve them. Start with how the scoring works so your numbers mean something, learn proper touch-typing technique, then follow the 30-day plan to turn technique into speed. The ergonomics guide is the one people read too late: it keeps the wrists that carry all this new speed comfortable for the long haul. Every guide is original to ChimpKeys and pairs directly with the free typing test, so you can apply what you read within seconds of reading it.
