which type

[McGiver]

i am curious to know how many people here have to look at the keyboard as they type like i do.

[Litigious]

I have to.

[Graelwyn]

I dont really need to anymore most of the time, but then I have been a chat freak for so many years now. I know the positions of the keys by heart mostly.

[El]

Combo.  I can kinda not look when I'm not thinking about it.

I look once in a while, typing most letters without doing so.

I absolutely plan on it, although I tend to take a while to loosen up I looked in the chatroom earlier, but was empty. I talk mostly on msn these days.

our drunken chat saturdays used to be popular before the holidays.  maybe we can rekindle its popularity.
also it is a free for all like the forums; unmoderated.

I have to hunt and peck too, touch typing is too difficult for me yet.

I tend to not look mostly, but I voted for combo because sometimes I have to look when using Dunc's keyboard cos its a different size to mine and that throws me off.

Combo. I have big fingers, so tend to glance at the keyboard from time to time to correct my positioning and retype stuff when i've hit two keys at once (which is often).

I do both, probably more watching. Kind of like Dunc said, though, I get out of position too easily. Words seem to come out of my brain in pulses. I tend to pause and then blast a pulse of letter combos, not necessarily whole words. When I'm "on it", I can actually type fairly quickly that way, for an old fart. It may be from trying to play guitar.

I do both, but I probably look at the keyboard more than I look at the screen even though I don't have to--I know where the keys are. I'm pretty fast but I can sort of misplace my hands, in which case I have too take a peek.

[QuirkyCarla]

I mostly type without looking. I do look at the number keys though.

[Nomaken]

I don't know how to type.  If I was asked, I would have to say no, I don't.  I hunt and peck.  But I don't look when I hunt and peck.  I use I use my index fingers primarily, thumbs to space, right ring finger to backspace and shift and enter, and occasionally left ring finger to smack the big keys on the left.  But I go REALLY fast.
