        I see them now!! Okay, that probably helps with staying centered and knowing where your hands are when typing!

        Man, the human mind is something else. Not my human mind, but other people’s minds.

        Thank you!

          Typing is probably the most useful course (elective) that I took in high school. I honestly cannot even comprehend how I’m able to type as fast as I do. I am literally doing it right now and it makes no sense.

            Despite trying to learn I STILL have to occasionally loom at the keyboard when typing. Not as much as I used to but still.

            Gaming is a different story. 100% locked in on the screen.

          The only reason most keyboards are not ortholinear is because of tradition and typewriters.

          The first few days, yes, but there’s nothing better than blank keycaps when it comes to learning how to type without looking at the keyboard all the time.

          It’s adapt or die, basically.
