Which finger is used to press D?

Published in Typing Techniques 1 min read

The middle finger is typically used to press the "D" key on a standard QWERTY keyboard when touch typing.

When touch typing, your fingers rest on the home row keys (ASDF JKL;) and then move to the appropriate keys as needed. The "D" key is directly above the "E" key, and to the left of the "F" key.

  • Left Hand Placement:
    • Index finger rests on F
    • Middle finger rests on D
    • Ring finger rests on S
    • Pinky finger rests on A

Therefore, to type the "D" key, you move your middle finger from its resting position on the "E" key upwards, striking the "D" key. The index finger controls F, R, V, and G keys.
