Do you look at the keyboard when you're typing?

    So easy one here,
    Do you look at the keyboard when you're typing?
    Or do you just look at the screen because you know where the keys are off by heart?
    Or do you do both?

    I do both :D

    What about you?

    I don't look because I have memorised where they keys are, and if I see that I'm making a mistake in my typing, then I take a sneaky look but then carry on not looking, .. looking all the time doesn't let me watch tv.

    I only look down if I've placed my hands in the wrong place over the keys. Otherwise no, I just stare at what I'm writing on the screen.

    Nine years of instant messaging does that for you xD

    Thing is, I've looked at it so much that that was how I memorized where the keys were without having to use a typing instructor.

    So, for the most part, I try not to look at the keyboard. I find it easier to do so when I'm on a laptop, or when the keyboard isn't in a lower shelf but on the same surface as the desktop it's attached to.

    I don't normally look at the keyboard, just the screen or out the window...
    I am blessed with touch typing :D

    Well, I say blessed, more like I have been on a computer most of my life so I am that sad I can do this! XDDDDD

    Nah, typing's pretty automatic for me now. Key placement etc comes naturally to me and i'm able to type pretty quickly without making many errors.

    Not really. I only look down when I need a punctuation mark because I've always had a rough time reaching for them and remembering where they are.

    I only look down at the keyboard when I notice one of my hands slip or something. I always have to look down to see if my fingers are on that bump on those two keys, lol.

    I rarely look at the keyboard. I'm so accustomed to typing that I've pretty much memorized the keys.
