I learned touch typing with the help of a cardboard box instead of a fancy mechanical keyboard with custom key caps. I think this is a more economical way to learn, unless you really like mechanical keyboards and want an excuse to buy one (or another).
Get a box that covers your keyboard and leaves room for your hands. Cut a hole for your hands. Place the box over your keyboard, insert your hands, and start typing without being able to see the keyboard.
Of course this is more difficult if you only have a laptop because the screen is also obstructed.
I type around 100 WPM today with the same touch typing technique I learned as a child. I still have labeled key caps, even on my own fancy mechanical boards.
