In the fast-paced world of work, typing speed is important, but equally important is the ability to type quietly.
A Skill for the Modern Professional
You might think that quiet typing requires a silent or low-noise keyboard, but there's more to it than just the gear you're using. By adjusting your key press speed and pressure, you can significantly reduce the noise, even when typing quickly.
The Art of Quiet and Fast Typing: A Skill for the Modern Professional
Typing efficiently isn't just about speed.
It's about accuracy, proper finger placement, and controlling the pressure of each keystroke.
Reduce Typing Noise
Rather than pressing the keys all the way down, lightly tap them. At first, this may feel slower, but over time you’ll get used to it, and you'll find that you can reduce noise while still being just as effective.
To get into the groove, think of it like this: imagine pressing the key with just a slight tap (about 0.8 beats), then quickly moving to the next key and repeating the process. You don’t need to press all the way down, just enough to register the key without creating excess noise.
