Typing to the beat
Rhythm Keys is a music game for your keyboard. Notes slide down lanes toward a glowing line, and each lane is a key. Press the key right as its note reaches the line, and each hit plays a note of the tune.
Easy uses only F and J, Normal uses the home row and Hard adds the top row. Timing practice like this builds the even rhythm that smooth, fast typing depends on.
