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

Yes, I do it always when at the computer. Never on the mobile.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I edited the title for clarity. Touch typing is typing without looking at the keys. By layout, I meant the size/arrangement.

I can touch-type but only in Dvorak.

The definition of editing includes making changes or corrections, and clicking on the pencil logo beside my post will display a message of the time it was “Edited”.
But since it’s very important to you, sure, we can call it whatever you like

Wait what? Why would you add such absurd context? What’s next? You use Dvorak but only on columnar staggered split layouts?

I can. Never properly learned it, but spent so much time on my computer that it became second nature I guess. Can even do it on my phone with maybe about 90% accuracy.
I like full-size mechanical keyboards with red switches. Currently using a Ducky One 3.

I use a cursed variant of dvorak so looking at the keys won't help.
I'll use any keyboard with a properly sized and shaped enter and backspace key. Fuck those laptops that halve the size of backspace or mangle the enter key.

I can, until i realize that I'm doing it, then it just all goes to shit and i have to switch back to hunt and peck.
I can ten-key like a mother fucker though, used to work at a bank doing data entry...

Yes, and full sized Keychron for me. I enjoy being able to put in what ever switches and keycaps I want on a keyboard that's infinitely better than any trashheap in waiting that any Corsair or Razer keyboard is.

You can replace the key caps.

Keychron? Which one? Don’t leave me hanging like that.

Yes. I only used QWERTZ, so QWERTZ is my preferred format.

Absurd? It's literally what OP asked.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It’s absurd because one does not learn Dvorak without taking effort to do so. You usually have to be already proficient before you switch to Dvorak. I’d expect you to be a touch typist in another layout before Dvorak.
It would be different if you didn’t say “only in”

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yep, I'm a touch typist. QWERTY on a compact 1800 format keyboard (an old TX-CP).

100%. On the other hand, when it comes to musical instruments, cooking, driving and anything that requires dexterity/hand-to-eye coordination I'm just awful, lol.
