How can you type like that?

I look at the keyboard while I'm preparing to type something, then after that, I just watch the screen and fix any typos as I go. I know where each key is, but only when I'm actually typing. I don't need to see the keyboard, and I can feel when I've mistyped something, even if I'm not watching the screen/keyboard. I never learned how to type "properly"...this is just from having far too much practice. I:

I remember being timed once to find out how quickly I type, but it was a while back, and I can't remember what it was. Apparently it was pretty impressive, though.

Edit:
I just now seen Mac's post and realized that I type similarly to the way he described. I don't use my thumbs at all, though.
 
I type really fast. I don't even look at the keyboard when I type. I use both hands when I type, using two or three fingers on both hands to reach certain keys.
 
I type with all of my fingers except my pinky I believe. I guess I use it sometimes but I don't think often, and I type pretty fast and don't have to look at the keyboard unless I'm typing numbers. I used to have to look at the keyboard but I've been typing so much for so long that I don't need to look any more lol. I've tried just using two fingers and it is just way too slow. I get frustrated with how slow it is, haha.
 
I have an odd manner of typing, mostly a result of forgetting the so-called "proper" form, and getting into programming. I always look at the keyboard, but would still be regarded as a fast typer (although typos are commonplace). Rather than take the time to use the shift key for capitalization, I use caps lock. Call me crazy, but it saves me a lot of time.

As for my phone, I primarily use only my right thumb. Typing with two fingers, even on my large smartphone, is out of the question.

Constant programming caused you to forget the "proper" typing form? I would assume it would be the opposite because I'm just getting into programming languages myself, and I'm still typing the same way as I did before: not bothering to look at the keyboard. Could be a result of me being a beginner, but I like keeping a constant lookout on potential mistakes in the coding that could screw the entire program up.

Not at all. I simply forgot because I was lazy, and truth be told, I was never very good at typing without looking at the keyboard in the first place. My constant use of caps lock is a result of programming.
 
I am something like you rainbow, I usually type with only two fingers, although I do use my pinkie quite of often to backspace, and other fingers for etc. 50WPM! (I know, slow to those who can do 90WPM, but I had the third highest type speed in my typing class. Stupid guy with 82WPM. :( )
 
I type using the "traditional" two-hand method. I'm generally a fairly fast typist, though I've been switching keyboards a lot lately (two laptops, one of which has more widely-spaced keys than the other), which has been slowing me down a bit. I just got about 90 WPM on a typing test I pulled up quickly online.
 
My fashion? I seriously don't know. But I think it's like I just place my hands on the keyboard and they just type automatically lol. xDD

Although I semi use the asdfjkl; way because I used to learn it back at elementary. Just that I'm doing unconsciously lol. xD
 
I just sort of type by muscle memory. I don't look a the keyboard or anything. I don't use my thumbs though, I noticed. I don't use the home keys or whatever, just memory type.

I type super fast though, usually over 90 wpm.
 
I don't look at the keyboard, seriously I'm more confused if I look than if I don't. I've tested my muscle memory by thinking of words and moving my fingers without a keyboard below, as if I wanted to write the word out. My fingers remember where the buttons sit :p I think I write pretty fast, any faster and my keyboard can't really put the letters in the right order because I press them down at once.

My left thumb, I've realized, doesn't do much, if anything. My right thumb is the "space-presser". My left little finger presses "shift" but I don't think my right little finger does anything at all. Huh! My right ring finger or whatever the English term is, is the one to press '

Funny how we've learned to express ourselves through a keyboard, when you really think about it.
