Do you look at the keyboard when you type?
 
Or can you remember exactly where the letters are and you don't have to keep looking down?

Ramsay 06-02-2013 09:38 PM

Nah, aint nobody got time for dat

GypsyGoth 06-02-2013 09:38 PM

I look.

Kizzy 06-02-2013 09:39 PM

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

bbfan1991 06-02-2013 09:40 PM

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

Black Dagger 06-02-2013 09:41 PM

Rarely.

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 06-02-2013 09:49 PM

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

MTVN 06-02-2013 09:49 PM

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 06-02-2013 09:50 PM

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 06-02-2013 10:02 PM

Never need to look.

Ninastar 06-02-2013 10:03 PM

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

Ninastar 06-02-2013 10:04 PM

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

Ramsay 06-02-2013 10:04 PM

MSN :love:

Firewire 06-02-2013 10:08 PM

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

MeMyselfAndI 06-02-2013 10:27 PM

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

Princess 06-02-2013 10:55 PM

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

Shaun 06-02-2013 10:56 PM

Hardly ever.

Scarlett. 06-02-2013 11:03 PM

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

Josy 06-02-2013 11:43 PM

Not a lot

reece(: 07-02-2013 12:04 AM

Never I feel quite talented :')

Glenn. 07-02-2013 12:08 AM

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 07-02-2013 12:14 AM

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

Ammi 07-02-2013 03:18 AM

..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 07-02-2013 05:07 AM

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.
