    well I look at the keyboard when I put my hands on home row or whenever I need to use an obscure key or numerical row key.

    Now I know for sure that you are just a person playing a character. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    My eyes are constantly darting back and forth from various objects. Usually I will look at the screen, but if there is a television within sight, I will glance at it occasionally. I hardly ever look at the keyboard, my hands sorta just find their way to the "home keys".

    Eh.

    I don't usually type from a source, so I generally look at my screen. I can type in the dark.

    I don't need to look at the keyboard.

    I always look at the screen, I mean we are taught to shy away from looking at the keyboard.

    I guess just over time, most words become second nature to type. Even if you make constant typos, like me. I swear my right pinky is glued to the backspace key about 9 out of 10 times. Its quite pathetic really.

    Only if I make a typo to make sure my fingers are in the "right position". Actually, now that I think about it, I don't even do that. I know exactly where each key is without looking.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    the screen, for the most part. occasionally I'll look at the keys to find a random key or if I keep making a typo over and over again and i have to look at what I'm doing.

    I'm inspired to make a thread now.

    The only time I look at the keyboard when I type is, ironically, when it's too dark to see. I have to have a light on in order to see the keyboard well enough to not have to look at it when I type.
