Or do you end up misspelling words all the time while trying to type well in the dark?

i can type without looking if i need to. just did this sentence without looking.

but for the most part, i end up using the light from my screen(laptop) to see the keys.

actually i kinda do both. i glance from the screen to the keys and so forth.

Yea, I don't look at the keyboard at all when I type so... in the dark is no different than in the light.

Would also be pretty pointless to look at my keyboard in the first place, a lot of the letters are rubbed off. :D

Well my keyboard glows in the dark, so that makes it pretty easy.

I don't even look at my keyboard when I type, so yeah, very easily. All I need to do is feel for the mark on the F and J keys and I'm good to go.

I type really fast and really accurately without looking at the keyboard so i could probably do it blindfolded. Also my keyboard glows in the dark anyway so thats redundant.

I've never bothered with touch-typing. So that would be a no. Though I have a generally good idea of where the keys are when I'm not looking >_>

Can never be 100% with commas, but letters and numbers are all by memory, so I rarely look down.

Well if you can type really well without looking at the keyboard then you can type really well in the dark. It's hard for me to remember a time when I had to look at the keyboard just to get anything typed. I sometimes forget where some of the symbols are, so it's nice have an illuminated keyboard when typing in low light, but other than that, no need to look at all.

Sadly I've grown up in a world with electrical lighting so I've never had a chance to learn such basic skills.

I can type without looking but I can't type in the dark. Funny but it's truth.

Can I type with my eyes closed? Sure, I'm typing this with my eyes closed right now. If you never learned to touch type, I don't know why you'd even bother using a computer. Typing without being able to touch type is like trying to read, with only one letter per page.

In order to show how well I can type in the dark I figured I'd just type this entire post with my eyes closed. Certainly I cannot prove it but I figured I would make the attempt regardless. I suppose I will at the very least look when pressing the submit button.
