    We type without looking on keyboard. That would be easy.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".

    That's pretty cool. Useless for me, since I only look at the keyboard to make sure my fingers are in the right position before typing, but still, a pretty good idea.

    That is only for people who don't have the discipline to just not look on the keyboard and try to learn the keys I know some persons who learned to type by means of programs e.g. Mavis Beacon personally I learned to type fast way back in the days due to msn & yahoo messengers and chat rooms that gave me a lot of practice and also forced me to keep up.

    Well my desktop keyboard almost looked like that. The days of street fighter and mortal combat and all the MAME combatible games. One day my mom wanted to use my computer to types a document. She then complained that she couldnt use it. I didnt even realize that the markings were erased and I had been using it for years.

    I had a problem with lights on while I use the computer but I had to keep it on to see the keys. So I decided to learn to type so that I could keep the lights off. Took me two days. Mavis Beacon. DOS version. lol.

    I need one of these. I know the position of the keys, and can type pretty fast. Problem is, I always look at the keyboard; the going's too slow when I don't. Even thought of putting my keyboard in a scandal bag once...

    Which keys do you all use as your anchor keys? I use ASDF HJKL. Both thumbs on the space bar.

    Probably different from anyone else on here. Those keys are the anchor keys for telegraphists and Morse operators, according to the training I received.

    Only problem is that the Enter key is a long way to the right. Whereas when I was learning, you had to lift your left hand and physically return the typewriter carriage all the way to the right.

    Anyone who uses ASDF JKL; as their anchor keys probably grew up in a computer environment rather than typewriter. For computer use, the right hand seems to have moved over to be closer to the Enter key.
