Trivia: Do You Know Why There Are Ridges on the "F" and "J" Keys of Your Computer?

I'm sure you noticed that both the "F" and "J" keys have ridges on your desktop or laptops. What are they for? Do they have a purpose?

The answer is simple, the ridges on "F" and "J" are for those people who "touch-type" - meaning the ones who type without looking the keyboard. These two ridges are being used by touch-typers to identify the position of their fingers on the keyboard. They are there to help position the HOME KEYS ( ASDF and JKL) for faster typing!

Now you now!

    the purpose of having ridges on keys "F and J" are to guide the right and left index fingers on where to position the said finger on the appropriate key's
