b and n — down and inwards
You learn the b and the n: your index fingers curl diagonally down and inwards.
How to find the key
- Reach with your left index finger from the f diagonally down to the b.
- Reach with your right index finger from the j diagonally down to the n.
- Then go back to the bump.

More examples
bn nb bn
- Tap the b with your left index finger.
- Tap the n with your right index finger.
- Return to the bumps each time.
bin nab
- Type bin: the b, the i and the n.
- Press the space bar.
- Type nab: the n, the a and the b.
Watch out
You tap the b with your right hand because it is in the middle.
The b belongs to the left hand and the n to the right.
Tips
- The b and the n are on the border between the two hands.
- Return straight to the f and the j.
Why it works
The b and the n are not straight below the bumps. They are one key inwards as well, like the t and the y but on the bottom row. Go slowly and return to the bump.
