My fingers hurt because of typing on the touchscreen

Maybe I might have hit the screen too hard. So I'm trying to remember to hit the touchscreen lightly that it would not hurt my fingers and cause friction on the skin of my fingers. But for now the skin of my left thumb is hurting. I would try to rest it so that it would get better faster. I'm just typing now using the other fingers

That's why I don't like those touch screen stuff for typing its only good for playing with stuff and draging but not for typing and also its difficult to fit the finger like the same with keyboard until and unless if you are a child with small fingure.

Yeah it's the reason sometimes I don't want to use this feature but there are times it's nice and working so great like now.

Well touchscreen phones are quite sensitive so better type on it and touch it softly to avoid getting your finger hurt.

Mine sometimes you would need to press hard on the screen so that it would type the letter. But it is sensitive in other things except when you are typing

I remember when I was on my first piano lesson I pushed those buttons that hard that my fingers got swollen and bruised.Having those,I thought I would be spared for the next session.But no,I had to "sing" with my destroyed fingers. Try to press not with the tip of your inger,but rather with your whole distal phalanx.

That would be a great idea I'm try it out now with this post and it feels much better and I feel I can type much faster. So you have given a nice advice so I hope that I would not have anymore problem.

It never happend to me actually.It might be because i dont usually use my Touchscreen phone a lot or because of not playing the piano.But i think that its possible only if you tap the screen really hard.
