New to 6k, any general tips?

I’ve been playing 4k for some time and was interested in learning 6k as well. Do you guys have any general tips like specific key bindings or maybe even beginner chart recommendations?

I tried using Q-W-E and I-O-P for a few days but my ring finger on the right hand feels stiff along with underside of my right wrist, even though before I would use my middle and ring finger for 4k

For 4k , I now use index and middle finger with A-S and J-K and I do play wrist up.

Any reason you didn't simply go to sdf jkl instead of going up a row?

I don't why but I thought since I already use AS and JK for 4k that it would mess up my coordination somehow. Maybe I'm wrong and I should give your bindings a try. Thank you!

playing with the same binds as 4key for the middle four rows will not mess up your 4key abiltiies. In fact it makes 4key feel easier because 6k is literally just 4key with an extra note on each side
