While you are correct on not looking at keyboard, trying to type as fast as possible is wrong way to learn it. Just as with any instrument, you don't want to learn to play it as fast as possible, but rather first you learn it slow and correct and only then ramp up speed but only as long as that speed still feels almost effortless. I have first learned QWERTY at school (yea, fun school...) but learned it the way you presented. Then couple of years later I decided to learn typing properly and re-learned with Dvorak. I used metronome initially and dropped it after couple of days.
