Do you look at the Keyboard when you Type?

**Shiny** · 10-19-2006, 02:34 AM

I don't look at the keyboard for letters and numbers, but I do for every other key.

I'm a bad typer. I never really learned properly, even though all this forum usage has allowed me to develop my own two finger method, and I am improving. So a bit of both.

If i wanted to I can type without lookin at the keyboard, but I mess up a little bit sometimes. WEre learning how to keybaord in comp class. I rock at it. I can type sentences without ooking at the keyboard, but not whole essays.

Nope, just at the screen.

For you see... Devil Man noticed something. He neither looks at the keyboard or the screen when he types.

He simply looks in the mirror and fantasises about how much better his life could be if he wasn't so vain when he hits the keys.

But what about, my wonderful people. Do you look at the keyboard when you type? Or just the screen? Or a bit of both?

gah! im trying not to make fun of you but you dont make it easy!

a bit of both. i can type without looking pretty easily but i occasionally take a quick glance.

I look at my hands and the screen. I never learned to type completely the right way, but after being able to run 60+ WPM I figured it wasn't worth it to spend time retraining myself.

**Khaotic** · 10-19-2006, 09:38 AM

Letters I don't have to, but for numbers I do.

**Rostum** · 10-19-2006, 10:01 AM

Nope! Well, I look down sometimes when I'm really tired... But apart from that, not at all.

**Christmas** · 10-19-2006, 10:36 AM

I tend to look at the toliet when I type, I have no idea why.

**The Devil Man** · 10-19-2006, 10:42 AM

Right now,

Devil Man is looking at his signature as he types this

He LOVES the colour Pink! It is just adorable!

He will click on his signature once more, just for the Pleasure of it

I can never really find myself typing in a comfortable position, so I'm always readjusting or fidgeting around when I type, so for stuff more detailed than "lol" (which ends up on msn as kik or ;p; at times too) I usually find myself looking at my keyboard more than my screen. The only thing I can probably not ever look at is the number pad.

**10-Breaker** · 10-19-2006, 12:49 PM

1st I look keyboard then I write. xD

**Shaun** · 10-19-2006, 01:12 PM

Couldn't you just simplify it by asking if we can touch-type?

**Shauna** · 10-19-2006, 01:26 PM

No he couldn't, because, he's Devil Man. :P

And I do a little of both, I sometimes have a quick glance down if I feel that I don't know where the key I'm looking for is. xD
