About this lesson: Mixed Shift Practice
Clean Shift technique is the difference between typing that flows through punctuation and capitals, and typing that stalls at every sentence start. These drills target the timing of press, strike, and release.
How to get the most from this drill
- Opposite-hand Shift, always — drill it until choosing the wrong Shift feels strange.
- The Shift press and letter strike should overlap like a chord, not happen in sequence.
- Watch your pinkies: they tire fastest. If they ache, shorten the session.
