I tried learning how to type properly but my hand joints have always been shitty so I do what I can. I also grew up PC gaming and that influenced how I type. My boss asked me if I learned to type after I started gaming and I was like "yeah." And he said, "I can tell"

The last keyboard I built, I went with blank keycaps to force myself to learn to fully use the keyboard without looking.

Or they are really old. I have an old PS2 keyboard that doesn't have them.

They were a feature on typewriter keyboards back before personal computers were even a thing, so I think it's probably just that Sony didn't bother to put them on that specific keyboard.

You know the episode of Bobs Burgers where Tina takes a typing class and does the hunt and peck but she can do it faster than the teacher can using the home row? It me.

Also if you want to type fast a keyboard layout that wasn't chosen based on its ability to prevent mechanical jams by slowing the typist is probably the way to go. eg Dvorac

I was required to take typing classes in middle school, and the teach put cardboard over our hands

It's for locating your index fingers without looking when you do ten-finger typing.

I remember learning this about 40 years ago on a fully mechanical typewriter in school...
