We have the blank or “skins” keyboard cover that blocks out the letters on the keys. What makes the Touch-Key Guide more efficient in stopping “hunt & peck” typing?
The blank cover allows the student to view all movements of his fingers, an action prevented by the Touch-Key Guide. “Hunt & peck” performers do not visually search for a key, but rather visually guide an incorrect finger to that key. Thus, if unable to see his fingers, a “hunt & peck” typist cannot perform and is forced to employ the correct fingers, the basis of touch typing.
