I alternate between the two, but I guess I look at the keyboard more XD

Zone, your right about pianists, but the computer keyboard is different. Im a grade 5 (out of 8) pianist and I can play just by looking at the music sheets, but when it comes to typing, im glancing at the keyboard often.
Now you could remember me...

I never said playing piano and using a computer keyboard are the same thing, just that the key finding thing is similar to how I need to look at it sometimes to start. Though sometimes I can just use the F and J keys (which, of course, have bumps) to get started instead of looking at it.

Since I've been typing since the third grade, I know exactly where the letters and dots on the keyboard are. However, when it comes to numbers (I have a laptop, remember) I totally stink. And since I erase my mistakes as soon as I write them, my text is usually errorless, except for a few embarrassing mistakes in the past.

I've gotten so used to the layout of a keyboard that, if need be, I can type just fine without looking at it - assuming that my hands are in the right position to hit the right keys, anyways. I know that sometimes I'll type something, and it turns out I've hit the keys next to the keys I actually wanted to hit.

However, my normal way of typing is to look between the two, with my eyes on the monitor for most of the time. I like to be able to catch any spelling mistakes I might make.

I use to type by pecking (only with two fingers), but then I learned how to type the real way and I don't need to look at the keyboard unless I'm typing a really long word (copying from something). But I still need to look at the keyboard in case I'm going to need a symbol...

I alternate.
Normally I only look at the keyboard if I loose my place, or I'm typing a long word that I dunno how to spell, and I have to think about it. XD
Normally I look at the screen, but like I said, I alternate, so I tend to watch what I type sometimes as well.
Along with Rika, my looking at the keyboard is more a habit as well...
