I wanted to be typist who types fast without seeing the keyboard (remembering the layout was point. Also, feeling of keyboard as another part of body was joy). So,back in March,i finally decided to start Touch typing. First thing was about layout. I read that QWERTY is not good layout (it was not made for computer era), so i searched alternatives. I finally settled with Dvorak. First rule to learn touch typing is that you should never ever look at the keyboard. Gist of Article too says the same. One advantage for me was that even if i looked at my keyboard, keyboard layout was different, so it was not much use. So,i started learning touch typing. I used gtypist and typingclub to practice. Some keys were tricky to remember. I used relative positioning to help me sometimes too. References were needed sometimes. So,i printed layout and kept it to refer if i felt it was necessary. So,after typing for a month,i learned touch typing. I think that rather than taping your keyboard, make determination not to see keyboard. You could also choose better layout if it could matter with your typing.
