I use my left index finger and my right middle finger to type and yes, I do have to look at the keyboard all the time. Except for the backspace key. I don't look for that!

Kayleigh types without looking at the keyboard but she does use the backspace key a fair bit.

  I use my right index finger and left middle finger, and I look at the keyboard almost the entire time.  :tard:

I can type fast without looking, on a proper keyboard.

On a stupid touchpad keyboard, hmm, I don't look either. But I make mistakes more often.

I voted assuming it was when dating. Oops. But when typing on a keyboard, the only time I have to look is when the keyboard accidentally gets shifted over to the side a bit so the keys aren't where my fingers expect them to be, so I have to briefly look to position the keyboard back again and then go back to touch typing. I didn't have to look to type this for instance. I can sort of see my fingers moving in my peripheral vision but only that there are fingers and there is motion going on.

With modern offices, you have to look when you type so you don't hit the wrong keyboard. :P

Most of the guys in my class put me to shame because they are so fast at typing. It's almost embarrassing for me to type in front of the teachers.

I am older than all the other students and the only female in my class. :-\

Which means your the most gorgeous one in the class ren, so take that as a comforting factor. None of the rest are sexy as hell or presumably have that  stare that sends shivers up and down my spine :P

Even if there were other females in your class, I'm pretty sure you'd outclass them all by a million miles :) *squeezes teh renster*

Last summer PA looked astonished as he realized I was typing without looking.  The C (Average) in that class, Office Machines, kept me off the Deans List by .048 of a grade point.  Damn right I'm going to type in revenge.

Thanks Lestat. So far I am doing ok. I want Certificate III!

And speaking of my stare, I managed to scare one of the teachers with it. She said it looked as though I was staring through the computer. I said not to worry, it's my resting bitch face. :D

Some of my colleagues are ridiculously fast at typing.

The teacher was female. She's a substitute for another teacher and she doesn't know much about the advanced features of Excel, which is what she is meant to be teaching us. Quite funny.

When I touch type I do it pretty damn fast. Nobody has ever commented on it but thats probably because I'm generally in another room when I'm using the/a computer. The one I am using now is in a nice closely confined soundproofed room.

Although this is using a standard PC keyboard. I HATE the keyboards   built into laptops, and the mousepads. Everything is in the wrong damn place.
