general Do you still look down at your keyboard when writing?

[Muffinnz 3,219]

I used to not look down at the keyboard but then I kinda got lazy and got in the habit of looking down again. But i still use the correct fingers for the right keys.

I type pretty quickly on my phone tho

I very rarely do unless it's a social character that I never use, like a tilde or something.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,440]

That is a negative Houston. I type so much I can just go.

 I remember learning about the home row keys as a child and our teacher would give out to us if we looked at our fingers.

[Lucky Bolt 35,062]

Sometimes, it depends though. For the most part I don’t. I got speed in my fingers like a mf 

[Phosphor 11,528]

I only look at the keyboard right before I start typing. Once I'm set, I'm good to go.  

[Cyclone 1066 3,619]

I do from my days of using a typewriter....also type very hard because of it.

[TheRockARooster 50,820]

No, I’m so synced with the keyboard that I never have to look.

[Odyssey 5,716]

Nah. I'm typing this without even looking at my keyboard.

[Muffinnz 3,219]

Wow, I feel so pathetic now

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I used to all the time, but since I've been typing a lot over the past year I've gotten a little more comfortable with not looking at the keyboard. Now I generally glance back and forth between the two, but I'm trying to get to the point where I don't need to look at the keyboard. And I do not use the home row or anything like that. My fingers go wherever they want.

[Randimaxis 8,652]

I, too, am one of those kinds who looks at his keyboard while typing... in fact, I've gotten good enough at it that I even know when I've mistyped, and will go back and correct it without even looking up.  (Though I still try to look over all my posts before I hit Enter.)

[cuteycindyhoney 13,306]

I do a little, but mostly type by touch. I DO NOT type the right way. I just go at it!

 

[Cagey 4,248]

I don’t think I look at the keyboard much. When I’m copying something down from a physical paper, I try not to look at the screen, either. 

[Kadae 655]

I've been trying to learn to touch type, but my goodness I'm terrible at it. My hands have a mind of their own and wander a bit, so I've gotta look down every so often to make sure they're behaving!

[SparklingSquirrels 21,332]

Err yeah I do sometimes... mostly just at the start of typing something to check if my fingers are on the right keys, or if I have to type a symbol I don't use very often.

[Emerald Claus 24,849]

I only look down at it when I make a typo, or when I'm clicking the all caps or shift key for whatever reason. 

[Oblivion 20,266]

Not usually to be honest I've got pretty good and just knowing where the keys are by instinct.

[Cocokoru 133]

I always look down on the keyboard. I also just use two fingers. Let's try and see what happens when I type with closed eyes!

Hello deaf pony friends, I feel wonderfl roday!

Oh, that's not too bad, I guess. Just looking at it once to have a starting point. This could be some kind of forum game.

Oooh! Thank you for letting me know!

[Envy 6,147]

I've been addicted to the internet for like 16-17 years now, and a like 14 or so of those years was spent in a room where I didn't even have much room to pull out the keyboard, as I was pushed up against my bed. Needless to say, I learned not to have to look down at the keyboard for the bulk of typing functions. Unless I have to enter special characters, or need one of the rarely used function keys like Delete, Insert, etc. I don't have to look down at the keyboard at all.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Sometimes, but not too often. I usually only look down if I lose my placement on the keys.

[EpicEnergy 23,183]

Most of the time I do, as I have a habit of doing it.

[applesjck 5,601]

Nope! Unless it’s a symbol I never use and I have to check where it is, I normally always look at the screen.

[TBD 17,254]

I have done a lot of typing so I have gotten used to typing without looking at the keyboard.
