Keyboard questions! Can you type without looking at the keys? Do you have a preferred format or make of keyboard?

Got tendonitis, so I used Kinesis Advantage for many years. Then the Glove80 came out, which I consider even better than any of the Kinesis Advantage, and I've had all models. And yes, I type without looking.

Yes, I can touch-type.
I prefer colemak but abandoned it due to the prevalence of QWERTY.
I quite like 60% boards with tactile and clicky switches.
I've only used a few makes so i couldn't say if i preferred one over another. -

QWERTY at about 130-140 wpm, but not 10 finger. 10 finger ortholinear about 100 wpm, and about 90 wpm on staggered. As I was trying workman, I managed to type at about 50-60 wpm.

I feel you. I'm 'this' close to making my own trackball. Just uhh... as soon as I finish up some other non-computer projects first... damn time always doing the time thing.
Well, the ploopy trackballs keep getting better

Ahh very neat. Though those prices are insanely steep... I also kinda' want a different button arrangement, button mechanisms, and ergonomics than any of their offerings.
Still a worthy suggestion for most, though!

- Yes.
- I really enjoy my Ducky One 3 with Cherry MX brown switches.

Yes, I touch-type, and use a kinesis advantage keyboard that makes touch typing "almost unavoidable" (as one blogger wrote). I also use the Dvorak layout, and get nearly 100 wpm without really trying (and using low-effort brain-to-keyboard data transfer is the way to go, imho).

Been a touch typist for a while now, but I prefer my IBM Model M as a daily driver. I have a new modern take on the IBM Model F coming in in a few weeks that I'm very stoked about. Buckling spring switches are the best keyboard types ever made.

- HP DC7700 office desktop accessory keyboard. I had a stockpile of them but sadly I'm down to my last one
