Typing with little fingers

Typing on the keyboard using little fingers is an uncommon practice for most individuals. Little fingers tend to receive less attention because they are considered less comfortable for typing and require more training than other, more agile, and stronger fingers. Observing someone who hasn't learned touch typing techniques, you'll unlikely to see them using their little fingers when looking at the keyboard. Typing with little fingers can initially be tiring, and discomfort may arise as these fingers aren't accustomed to typing. However, some pain is standard when training initially, as in any skill that demands effort. It's a sign of progress, much like the discomfort experienced when learning to play the guitar. To alleviate this, taking breaks, stretching, and gentle finger exercises can help minimize typing-related discomfort. The key to eliminating typing pain is prioritizing rest, ensuring that your keyboard experience remains a source of improvement in your life rather than discomfort.
