🎮 WASD Finder
Rebuild your mental map of the W, A, S and D keys with visual hand guidance and immediate feedback.
Open exercise →Stroke recovery • dexterity • keyboard confidence
Rebuilding movement, one key at a time.
I had an ischemic stroke in March 2025. This site is my personal recovery journey — and a growing set of gentle tools for others rebuilding hand control, typing confidence, and that strange missing “mental map” of the keyboard.
Recovery exercises
All four practice tools
These browser-based exercises are designed to be calm, accessible, and repeatable. They are not medical treatment — they are practice tools to use alongside professional advice. Work at your own pace and focus on accuracy rather than speed.
⌨️ Typing Accuracy
Type a short paragraph at your own pace. Focus on accuracy, not speed, and track recent results.
Open exercise →🧠 Finger Lifts
Practice lifting and replacing individual fingers, using the space bar to confirm each controlled movement.
Open exercise →🗺️ Gentle Maze
Navigate a freshly generated maze using WASD in a calm, pressure-free environment.
Open exercise →The specific feeling
“I know what key I want — but my finger goes somewhere else.”
That is the problem this site starts from. Not just weakness. Not just slow movement. The difficult part can be losing the automatic map between intention, hand position, and the keyboard.
Recovery principle
Many stroke rehabilitation recommendations emphasise high-repetition, task-specific practice. Here, the task is deliberately narrow: finding keys, correcting errors, and rebuilding confidence.
Build the site with me
This is a starting point. The long-term aim is to add more games, stories from others, accessibility options, and progress tracking.
