- flyingfences 8y agoOr just use blank keycaps... the legends shouldn't matter because you shouldn't be looking down at the board while you type.

- flyingfences 8y agoStill, you shouldn't be looking down. In addition to taking your eyes off the screen, it also builds a dependence on seeing your finger positions instead of building muscle memory. The recommended method (if you aren't willing to go cold-turkey trial-and-error) is to print out a map of the layout and tape it on the _top_ of your monitor for a few days.
