How many of you can type without looking at the keyboard?

[The Punisher]

Title says it all. :o

[WeaponZ2]

I can, and very well mit add.

[Mee]

I DON;T THIJKNK I CAN


Heh, that wasn't too bad.

[tzarinna]

Not with making a huge number of typos :csad:

[unknownuser]

this line should attest for the fact that i can :)

[hippy fascist]

I can. i just typed this without looking down once, had to delete and go back twice but managed it in the end :yay:

[WeaponZ2]

Well I can do it and I really enjoy it when bored.

Damn I'm good. lol

[The Punisher]

That's cool. I can type without looking as well, have been for a while now. :D

[Dew k. Mosi]

I can usually do it until I think about it and then I start messing up

[jaguarr]

I usually look to see that I've got my fingers planted in the correct position initially, and then type without looking at them unless I need to hit an odd key or the number-pad.

[Equint77]

back in HS I had to take typing and the teacher told us that if we kept looking at the keyboard as we typed that we'd all end up working at mcdonalds...

that *****ucking ***** is dead now... but man did she have huge knockers.

Ha, that happens to me too. I start typing so fast, and then i think i'm not gonna mess up. Then I do. :o

[Kable24]

That's how I am too.

[Dew k. Mosi]

Ever fall asleep while typing? So it comes out like...


Anyway, I think that bushf id fomnsd...fsdfmmmmmmmmmmm

[Fenrir]

I can do it just fine. :up:

[lordofthenerds]

I can do maybe half looking and half not...I'm purely self-taught. :cool:

[Joker]

I can do it really easily, cause I've been typing since I was like, 5 :o

[The Riddler]

i can do it somewhat well.

i should put more effort into doing it.

[The Amazing Lee]

I can pretty well but I do sometimes make mistakes. But that is mainly because of the fact that I have really stubby fingers.

I have used the internet for over 6 years now...So I have got quite a skill on the computer.

I am quite fast as well when i want/need to be.

[Majik1387]

I can, I just feel more comfortable looking at the keyboard.

[The Kid]

I can... been doing it since I had my old c64, though as I just did, I do look for the numbers.

[Lord Valumart]

if i want to i can

hell i was forced to for 4 years at school, fastest typer in my class:D

i do sometimes make the odd mistake when going really fast, like pressing a key twice or hitting one next to the one i'm aiming for cause of the angle i'm typing or something like that. i know that was added on extra info but i wanted to share:)

[Sabretooth]

pretty good if i say so mself.





Meh. :o :up:

I rule at 85 WPM!


:thing: :doom: :thing:

[kingman]

I can type pretty well on the laptop but when I use my office computer I have to look

[Helghast]

123 WPM without looking, but I average maybe 115. People ask me to type things up for them, I should start asking for payment. Especially since they don't ask it as a favor. I'm such a sucker.

Numbers are a whole other story though.

[Arcturus]

I can type without looking at the keyboard, but i'll make a mistake every now and then.

[C. Lee]

I used to be able to...but with the shape my hands are in now adays...I have to look.

[Badger]

Yes (Did that without looking :yay:; for this, sadly :csad: , I had to look)

[theShape]

I have the ability, I just don't really do it...

[Helghast]

Everyone can say that about anything. Looking at the keyboard is a pain in the ass, especially if your desktop lighting situations are poor.

BTW, I found out my WPM doing this test, my higest was 123, that's why I stick with 123 but I usually get between 110 and 120.

[JLBats]

Ever since I started coming here I can do it perfectly.

[Spider-Bite]

I can do it, but i on and off look at the board depending on how often I am making mistakes. If I keep making typos sometimes I'll look down.

sorry I don't believe that. I took several keyboarding lcasses in high school, and the names of the fastest students were always on display, and I was always the fastest except for one or two weeks, and I was at 60. My one teacher was at 80, and the other at 70, and he often told us the world record, and I don't remember what it was, but it sure as hell wasn't that high.

[black_dust]

i do it all the time :D have to when multi tasking (watching the tv with my eyes)

[Immortalfire]

Title says it all. :o *raises hand*

[Sugarculted]

Yeah, I can type without looking at the keyboard. I just did now.

Yay for me.

[GarudA]

I can type without looking, but I do sometimes do a lot of typ-o's.

[webhead731]

A few years ago in school we had stupid worthless typing programs that really sucked. They taught me home row...that was it.

Then, last summer I learned how to type fast without looking at the keyboard. You know how? Being here. Getting hyped over these superhero movies talking to you guys.

Yep, I'm dead serious.:o

Now, I can look at the TV and type at the same time!:) Tell me that's not freakin' awesome!:D

The test probably isn't accurate but for three minutes and maybe a few mistakes (never more than nine) due to hesitation and losing finger placing resulting in typos (I only use three fingers. I don't count my thumb.) that's usually my score. Typing class seems like a waste of time, but ah well, easy credit. And according to Wikipedia...

Barbara Blackburn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter#Typing_speed_records_and_speed_contests ) is the fastest typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guinness_Book_of_World_Records). Using the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard), she has maintained 150 wpm for 50 minutes, 170 wpm for shorter periods of time, and has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 wpm. Blackburn failed her typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_per_minute

So. Yep. The internet is awesome. I've never really tested myself other than that simple little thing but I'm probably actually in the 70-90 range. I never really have to type for ginormous periods of time. At least not fifty minutes. Or even fifteen, I procrastinate a lot or stop to give my hands a break and actually prefer pen/paper.

[Ebil Gig]

I can type without looking at the keyboard.I just prefer to look down since its faster:O

[Socrates]

Without looking at the keyboard, I can type up whatever. As for how many WPM, don't know. I can't take the test because my s key is broken and I have to keep crtl+v to use the letter. :down

[Kmack]

I don't except when I first begin to type. I look to place my two index fingers on the "F" and "J" it's clear sailing after that:o

[sassycat]

nope i suckd at tyhisd :(

[vindrow]

I can watch:




jfpoiow apfnvosid lwu soiahdofa osdh


Wow, I am impressed I did better than I thought I would.

[AndThePickles]

I never look at the keyboard when I type.

[Warhammer]

I can, not because I can feel around for it, but because my mind just knows where the keys are.

[Erzengel]

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

Didn't have to look at the keyboard once.

[thedeadite]

the little "drawer" that my keyboard is on is rarely ever pulled out...so yeah..i don't have to look at the keyboard. though will openly admit that i often have to check for "shift-#" punctuation...and sometimes numbers too but not often

[PhePhe112]

i, tu[ing wihtout looking right now. i guess i have to warm up first lol.
(I'm typing without)^^

[Dark Phantom]

epon

:o gnikool tuohtiw epyt t'nac

[Fran]

Yes I can type without looking at the keyboard.

Kapwned!

[Arkady Rossovich]

I can even type with my eyes closed.

[FRUITY]

I can even type with my eyes closed.
Take me. Take me now.

[Fran]

Take me. Take me now.

LOL!!!

True love.

[kypade]

as long as i get one finger in the right place i can type without looking at the keyboard for hours on end. which is kinda weird when you conisder i only type with three fingers.

[War Lord]

I can even type with my eyes closed as I did with this message.

I can also type about 45 to 50 words per minute.

[kaylee]

I can! And actually rather fast too.

Typing was actually the one *really* useful class I took in high school (even if it was learning on old school typewriters.)

[Clouseau]

yeah, i remember i really didn't wanna take typing when my parents told me i needed it, but now, looking back, i'm glad i did... through my typing class i got to be fairly decent at it, but then, when i went to college, my typing skills vastly improved when i discovered AIM, because one of the friends i talked to on there was an extremely fast typer, so i learned to type faster just in efforts to keep up! the last time my typing speed was tested (which was at least 3 years ago), i think they said it came out between 90 and 100 wpm... i think i may have improved still yet since then... :cool:

[Narynan]

yeah, i can manage, but i have this thing... looking at the keyboard or not, where I put way to many spaces in the text, instead of you know puncutation

[Edd Extraordinaire]

I am simply amazing with a keyboard. Faster than a speeding bullet, don't need to look at anything. In fact, I don't even look at the screen, like if I'm watching TV, I can just keep looking at the tv screen and type what I have to type like I do now.

[swifty]

yep! I sure can and no too shabby either.

[LEX]

She sells seas shells by the sea shores.

That was with my eyes closed. This is with my eyes open, but not looking at the keyboard. Not too bad. I do it all the time.

[Edd Extraordinaire]

This is me typing while looking at a television screen. No errors, and perfect punctuation.

[britrogue]

Ok, I'm going to typw this meddage without lookinf ar rhe keyboard

[The Shredder]

I manage ok without having to look.

[SpideyLad]

I can, quite easily.

[Poetic Chaos]

Cake.

[heypapajinx]

but of course!!
the only time i have problems is when i'm entering peoples names.
my favorite is the 10 key though!!
1234567890!!!
yayyyy!

[Dissonance]

I've been able to do it since I used Netscape Navigator on dial-up.

[sithgoblin]

I can do anything. Oh yeah. Look at me go, I'm sucj a... dammit.

[heypapajinx]

I can do anything. Oh yeah. Look at me go, I'm sucj a... dammit.
haaaahahaha!
GO NINJA! GO NINJA! GO!
GO! GO! GO! GO!

[Harlekin]

Yeah, I'm pretty good at typing without looking at the keyboard, as this little sentence should attest. I only need to get the position of the keyboard letters and then I can go, go, go!

[Pyro Max]

about 50 words per minute, no problem

[November Rain]

pretty much although it depends on the keyborad in question though, i have a big chunky one in my office which is good for speed typing but i can no longer use smaller ones because i feel like my fingers are too closely located to one another...

saying this, i tend to type most of the time with my head down and eyes closed, it's more comfortable to just let my fingers do all the work when trying to broadcast my thoughts while i take a break...

[Bastila]

I can do that very well someyimes I make a mistake though.

[Avalanche]

I can do it, but not continuously. I will have to glance down every now and then to find my bearings.

[Sofa]

I pretty much do.

[Space Moose]

I can do that very well someyimes I make a mistake though.

I do thit as well...:cwink:
