Yeah I can. However, I do look at the keyboard when typing my password to make sure it's right. Other times, I just look at the keyboard to find one key, then type out the rest of the sentence without looking at it. Every start of a sentence, I look at the keyboard for the first letter I'm looking for, then I type the rest looking at the screen...

Why would I need to look at the keyboard to type? If you can type correctly you don't need to see the keyboard to type. That's the hole point in learning how to type on a keyboard... =|

i consider it very sad if people have to look at the keyboard to type. cuz then in wow you cant use macro's and have to click all your spells, which makes you a clicker. which makes you lower than dirt.

I'll try to type "I like puppies" without looking:

All hail to me, the dark lord of the netherworld! This fool is but an unwilling and unknowing vessel to spread my message of destruction across the physical realm! Bow to me! You will all die at my hands!!!

EDIT: Woah, what the hell happened there? :?

Yeah. I'm a pretty good typist. Peeking down isn't really necessary at all unless I'm typing numbers. They're tricky for me.

Of course I can. If fact, sometimes I can type correctly without even looking at the monitor. That's just how skilled I am.

Yes I can, and I nearly learned the Ten Finger system, which was a great advantage during exams that were written on computer. I'm a very slow writer by hand, so I could leave a three-hour test after 30 mins, thanks to the keyboard magic :P

looking at the Poll, I should take typing lessons. I type properly with my left hand, and I peck with my right hand. How silly is that.

We spent a lot of time in IT learning how to do this in High School and I was never really good at it...now I am really good at doing it when it doesn't count toward a grade >_< Internet has been the best learning tool taught me how to do something school couldn't lol :D If im going to use symbols or numerals I will have to look though.

I prefer to that way. Otherwise, if I am not looking at the computer screen, I do not know for sure what I am typing is correct.

Yeah. I sometimes hit two keys at the same time though. I kinda mix it up between looking at the keyboard and not looking at it when I type.
