Touchtyping

A few days ago I noticed how fast my typing has become, and that I can now write entire sentences without looking down at my keyboard. I’ve been using an extended keyboard for over a decade now – closer to two, in fact – and I reckon I do something approaching touch-typing on it. While it may not be quite as fast as a ‘normal’ typist, I’ve reached the point where I know my keyboard so well that typing on it is second nature. I suppose this is only to be expected, given how much I’ve used it and it’s predecessor over the years, but I thought it noteworthy. I frankly find it pretty cool, and now have fun seeing how long I can type for without looking at my keyboard or making a mistake.
