What are keyboard bumps?

Look down at your keyboard and locate the letters of F and J. Those two letters happen to have a little "bump" on them. It's just a little line that goes across the key that sticks up a little like a bump. Why is it there?

The two bumps are there to help you position your hands on the keyboard in the correct places without having to look down. All you have to do is feel around for those two bumps and your right and left hands will be in the right spots. The correct finger placement is to place your left index finger on the F key and your right index finger on the J key. You then just line up the rest of your fingers on the other keys to begin typing.

So, the little bumps are there just to make sure your hands are in the correct position for typing. They can also help you to learn to type without looking down at the keyboard. All it takes is a little practice and the bumps are there to help you along. Try it out!
