Fingers on the home keys, eyes closed. Got it on the first try.
Most QWERTY keyboards have tactile clues (a raised do tor dash) on the letters F and J.
These let you know where your hands are on the keyboard without looking.

Me too!
hmmm... Perhaps "touch typing" was/is a lot easier when you use all 10 fingers vs 2 thumbs.
...mmmh I wonder what "Siri" would type if you asked her to do that.
