    I don't know, lets see if I can pull it off since I usually don't pay attention when I type. This was typed without looking.

    I pretty much can type without looking 99% even the symbols and everything. just learned it myself over the years lol
    My keyboard is always under my desk but the only time I pull it out to look is for an F key :)

    It's quite strange for me, when I have to copy a code or something I can never find the keys, and I also get the odd words wrong, for example "lol" occasionally comes out as ";p;".

    I do generally type without looking though, I don't know how many words I can type per minute but copying out from a textbook for example is quite vigorous.

    I do. It's relatively easy if your used to your keyboard. I just googled a wpm counter and im at 98 wpm without posture and stuff which i believe is easiest. You should do the same. In todays world, typing and computer knowledge is really important :\

    You find it hard to type whilst looking once you've mastered not having to look, Just do some online typing tests when your bored and you'll soon get it, I average 70-80wpm just casually.

    i started playing rs about 7 years ago and didnt even know how to chat with people, i thought it was a members only feature until somebody tried to talk to me.
    Runescape taught me how to type. i get roughly 80 wpm with very few mistakes and dont have to ever look at my keys since ive been typing on the same laptop for about 3 years now.

    I have typed without looking ever since my junior year in highschool. Only thing that helped me type faster, and without looking was posting a lot on forums, and going to freetypinggame.net

    Edit: I went to www.freetypinggame.net and took the one minute typing test. This was my best score

    Wow Americans can type super fast.

    I can easily type without looking at the keyboard. It just comes with practice, for example now i'm looking at the screen, although you might slip on a key, you know where the backspace is. :D I'm a key-pro.

    Same here. My laptop has extra buttons all the way down the left hand side of the keyboard, so if I go to press 'A' I will sometimes accidentally press one of those buttons, if I try to press 'D', I might press 'S' by accident. Extremely annoying:

    OT: I always look at the monitor while typing, have done for many years.

    That's because Americans are more addicted to technology. Computers, cars, etc. In terms of Laziness.

    Yup.

    Normally in the dark so I can't really see the keys, and over the years i've learnt where the buttons are.

    :D
