Do you look at the keyboard when you type?

[Redway]

Or can you remember exactly where the letters are and you don't have to keep looking down?

[Ramsay]

Nah, aint nobody got time for dat

[GypsyGoth]

I look.

[Kizzy]

It's called touch typing and no I can't, can you?

[bbfan1991]

I look when I have the light on. When I don't luckily I can touch type LOL.

[Black Dagger]

Rarely.

[Redway]

It's called touch typing and no I can't, can you?

Yeah, I don't usually look at the keyboard when I'm typing, unless it's to find one of those additional keys (such as ctrl/alt/delete) or shift.

[Munchkins]

Nope! know every key on the keyboard, its been years since i looked at it lol, my friends think its really weird

[MTVN]

Nah tend not to, can kinda see where my fingers are going out the corner of my eye anyway though and I'll sometimes look down and check if I'm correcting a spelling or something

[joeysteele]

I do both,however when I don't look,I find I often get things the wrong way round, such as typing ahve rather than have.

If in a real hurry, then I don't look and usually find I then have to edit a fair few errors later when I've more time.

[Jarrod]

Never need to look.

[Ninastar]

Nope and it's actually weird how it's become such a norm. Never noticed that until now.

[Ninastar]

I remember in year 7 when I first got MSN/myspace and I'd have to pick one letter at a time...

[Ramsay]

MSN :love:

[Firewire]

not usually, i didn't look at the keyboard when typing this post, for example

[MeMyselfAndI]

Nope, I've not looked at it since I was like 10.

[Princess]

Nope, well I do on other people's laptops/computers but surely everyone does that.

[Shaun]

Hardly ever.

[Scarlett.]

Only when I get a new laptop and the layout is a bit different.

[Josy]

Not a lot

[reece(:]

Never I feel quite talented :')

[Glenn.]

I can't type without completely looking at the keyboard although I have noticed recently that I'm getting to the stage that I can type without looking.

I just typed this sentence without looking at a single key though :amazed: smiley included

[armand.kay]

No. I can even do it on my phone :D

[Ammi]

..a bit of both..I generally look at the screen and not the keyboard..but I have to say I do make a lot of typos...

[AnnieK]

No, I don't look. I was taught at school the old fashioned secretarial way with home keys and specific fingers for specific keys. They took the letters off the keys so we had to learn.

[Jessica.]

I usually glance at the keyboard briefly before I start typing because I move it around a lot and only type with both of my pointer fingers, it might sound strange but it's efficient.

[Marc]

Nole

[mizzy25]

sometimes i do

[Livia]

No. I was taught to type...

[Jordan.]

Never realised until this thread but no.

[michael21]

what do you think :idc:

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Niall]

I look maybe once or twice while I'm typing but I don't the majority of the time. On other people's laptops I have to look though. The keys are all weird and they have different spacing and I don't like it ew.

[Marcus.]

Yes i have to

[Apple202]

im not sure lmao, im looking at it now but i dont think i usually do :suspect:

[Shasown]

No, I necer looj at the keybosrd wjen I typw. I wAS TAUGHT TO TY[E WHEN I Ws at school,

[King Gizzard]

Nope, and if anythings wrong I just do it again until it's right

Weird thing is if someone told me to point at a certain letter without looking at the keyboard I probably couldn't do it or at least would only know the general area

[Harry!]

I do sometimes although I generally know where all the keys of the keyboard are.

[sooty]

No, I necer looj at the keybosrd wjen I typw. I wAS TAUGHT TO TY[E WHEN I Ws at school,

:hugesmile:

No, I do not. (Pitman)

[lostalex]

of course i look. I'm not a robot. i also looked when i played piano. I've never been able to touch type, or sight read piano music. I'm also a better piano player than most sight readers and i type faster than most touch typers. So i make no apologies for it.

It's just the way my brain works. I need to see the frame of reference. There's nothing wrong with that. I glance down as often as I need to.
