    I usually only look at the keyboard. I mean, really. Otherwise, I use the "hit and hope" technique.

    And then there is Death

    Aren't you a programmer?

    I do the same thing Shlup does. As long as I have light in the room I can type without looking directly at the keyboard. I need the light to at least see that my fingers are in the right position since I don't use the home key setup or whatever it's called.

    This doesn't make sense. NO SENSE NO SENSE NO SENSE.

    I look at the keyboard. I can type with decent speed, but I cannot memorize where all of the letters are. I didn't look at the screen once while typing this.

    I've been looking at the screen more often. But yes, like Denmark, if I continuously hit the wrong letter over and over again, I'll look =o

    A little of both, I tend to glance when I feel the urge to do so. Namely when I screw up a little too much.
