Can you type without looking at your keyboard?

Post by Triert »

By this I mean do you have a memory of where each button on your keyboard is, can you just rely on memory alone and type even while blindfolded?

If I type without looking at the keyboard, I'll probably make a few mistakes.

Somewhat, I type especially fast when I'm not paying attention. So yes, I can. Only when I don't notice though. Which is often.

Most of the time I type without looking, but I'll make a mistake here and there, especially if it's a long word or a word that uses the keys in the middle to type, cause then I don't know where I am.

Yes... after typing as long as I have and as much as I have you begin to learn where the keys are, however sometimes I'll mash the wrong key if I'm using a different keyboard....

Yes I tend to type without looking at my keyboard quite often. I might make a few more mistakes then I usually do though.

I can type without looking at the keyboard. I couldn't for a while, but I finally did.
I have main character tendencies.

Yes, I can it's not that hard. When I have to put a space in between something I have to look down though.

I almost never look at the keyboard while I type.
In fact I actually type faster when I am looking at the screen than at the keyboard.
I can type with my eyes closed or blindfolded rather well, too.

^That's true. You're supposed to use all fingers, too. I only use four, but I type 100+ WPM.
