Type your username in backwards with your eyes closed

In summary, The conversation discusses the ease of touch typing using the QWERTY keyboard layout and the use of tactile clues on the F and J keys. Some participants found it easy while others struggled, with one person noting the difference between using all 10 fingers versus 2 thumbs. There is also mention of using "Siri" to type and a mistake in typing the word "print."

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. :biggrin:

...mmmh I wonder what "Siri" would type if you asked her to do that.
