10-key practice
Start on the home row and add keys one row at a time. When you finish a run, the keys you missed most are shaded red on the keypad, so you know what to drill next.

Key this number, then press Enter

Only number keys, ., − and Enter count as keystrokes. Backspace doesn't count, but the keys you deleted still count toward gross speed. How we score
Levels
- Home row: 4 5 6. Uses only 4 5 6.
- Add the top row: 7 8 9. Uses only 4 5 6 7 8 9.
- Add the bottom row: 1 2 3. Uses only 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
- Add 0. Uses only 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
- Amounts with a decimal point. Dollar-and-cent amounts, so the decimal point becomes part of the rhythm.
Move up when you can finish a 3-minute run without looking at the keypad. Speed follows accuracy, not the other way round: a wrong key costs the key plus the fix.
