The ability of a person to use the 10-key pad on a computer keyboard is referred to as having "10 key experience." In data entry activities, using digits on a keyboard rather of letters is a widespread practise. When using a 10-key pad on a computer, you can concentrate on numbers rather than the letters and number line at the top of your keyboard.

The standard unit of measurement for 10 key experience is "kpm" (keystrokes per minute). This uses "wpm," or words per minute, as a typing statistic. Many different occupations, such as customer service agents, transcriptionists, and experts in medical billing and coding, frequently demand the usage of a ten-key keyboard.
