None of you n00bz should be looking at the keyboard with how much time you spend on here.

Yeah I only look in the odd occasion that I lose home row which never happens with my left hand but rarely with my right.

Also if you want to have fun with someone with a mac change their keyboard to Dvorak watch them flip out.

That's what the plastic lifts in the 'F' and 'J' are for.

I do, but very rarely. I have never had any formal typing class (not that it matters), but for someone who does look at the key-board, I type pretty fast.

I occasionally check down at the keyboard, almost out of habit. I don't need to look down at it or anything, but I do type noticeably faster when I do. I am not a slow typer by any means, but it goes much quicker when I look down. I honestly don't even really watch to see if I'm pressing the right buttons. I personally think its more entertaining watching my hands move around than seeing my words pop up on the screen. But its a PITA to go back and fix even just one typo, so I usually don't.

It's very rare that I do but I also don't type in the proper way.

I'm a surprisingly poor typer for someone who works in IT. In general I don't look at the keyboard, but if I need to type really fast I do.

I used to find myself looking at the keyboard a lot more than I do now. When I had a laptop 3 years ago or so I looked at it far more than I do now.
Sometimes I will look at the keyboard if I get mixed up but I find that as soon as I get the feel of a new keyboard I am good to go.
