I've been touch typing since high school, but I did switch to blank key caps and 60/80% mechanical formats about 15 years ago. The benefits I saw were: I'd still occasionally glance at Function/Number keys, that was fixed within a week or two. Switching keyboard languages/layouts was easier, no longer had incorrect labels to glance at (and generally annoy me that they were "wrong"). I remove as much clutter from my workspace as possible - blank key caps just look tidier to me. 60% keyboards reduce the distance my hand travels to use the mouse by a lot. I find that much more comfortable.
