    For those that have no clue what I'm talking about, touch typing is when you can type properly without looking at any of the keys, like I'm doing right now!

    Are you able to touch type, if so how long did it take for you to get this skill?

    Also, to spice things up...try typing a full sentence with your eyes closed so we can see how good you are! Don't edit anything.

    I'll try...

    Hey guys, my name is Achromatic, and I am from England. it's pretty nice here. How are you all today? I am good. See ua!

    Yes, I can! As you know because I tried it out in my IM to you earlier baha. It's actually really easy for me and I've got a pretty strong sense of where each key sits from my years of typing away at the computer. Now if only that were a useful skill.. </3

    Here's an example:

    Woops.. extra capital letter. B-but close enough.

    I can do it and I learned because of my tech class in 8th grade. Didn't take too long for me to learn it.

    Sentence:

    Hi, I'm Raptor and I like Monster Hunter.

    That... actually went better than expected lol

    I used to, but I'm better with a keyboard than doing it on a mobile phone. (Not that my fingers are big or anything)
    I once took a typing class as a kid, it was mandatory for all students to, and I've been typing fast ever since.
    Here's a sentence for example~Heu azure edge here! I'm not good typing with a mobile phone, but I m Sti working at it!
    I'm not half bad!

    Cool, we actually talked about this in a class the other day. I used to be good at it, and I ought to practice more. Used to be able to type up whole sheets without once looking at the keyboard before. Let's see how I am now...

    hey eeveryone! reckless here! can;t wait for the weekend

    Hmm. Better than I thought. <3

    I kind of just picked it up after a while. Didn't take long to learn it.

    Here's my sentence:

    Huh.
    Now that I'm doing it, I have no idea what to type.
    So I'll just go with this; here you go.

    Well, sentences, I guess.

    When I was little I used to be amazed that my mom could type without looking at the keyboard. But then when I started using the internet more often I noticed it wasn't as hard as it seemed lol.

    Here's a sentence with my eyes closed. Dunno what else to type, but yeah. Potato.

    Ah, I remember learning to type from those programs and classes. I remember struggling at first, but now I'm a pro for the most part, after so many years. My only problem now is sometimes I type too fast and click 'enter' so I typo at least once.

    I don't really have anything to say here either so this is just me rambling and typing with out looking.

    I'm a pretty bad touch typer, haha. I routinely misspell words even when I'm looking at the keyboard, so the backspace button is my best friend. XD

    Yo, I'[m Hengar's Hrin and O suck at not looking at the keybars when typing./

    :P

    Seriously, I can't even spell my own username correctly.

    Sort of, but not really. I always look at how I'm typing to ensure I don't make any potential errors. Better safe than sorry!

    That being said, I am by no means a slow typer. I can type a large amount words per minute, with little to no errors.

    For the most part I don't need to look at the keyboard anymore, unless I think about it too much. I ended up getting this skill because of moderating sites like PokeBattle and PS, where quicker typing was required.

    Yes, I can touch type! :) I learned it by chatting with my friends. However, my new challenge is to learn dvorak keyboard layout. To do that I use one website which is a really good help for both - qwerty and alternative keyboards. What is your typing speed? I took the speedtest in that website and I got 66 words per minute.

    I'm more or less pretty good at touch-typing. I glance down at the keyboard every now and again for confirmation, but 95% of the time, I can type without looking. Lots of time spent on the computer as well as computer classes when I was younger helped a lot. Now for a sentence...

    As Raphael is walking across campus, talking to Susan on his cell phone about meeting at the student union later this afternoon, he remembers that he had left the book she had lent him at home.

    ^ The first sentence of my Cognitive Psych textbook.
