This research was done by using descriptive correlation. Samplesof this research were 23 students who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selectedrandomly. The correlation test results showed that there is a strong correlation between a decrease hand muscle load with the learning outcomes of r xy = -0.963 and p = 0.001. This shows that there is a significant correlation between a decrease hand muscle load with increase learning outcomes with p <0.05. There is a strong correlation and significant between a decrease hand muscle load with increase learning outcomes on Balinese typing activity usingQWERTYkeyboard
