Must admit, I'd need a mirror to see the keys and watching the little end bits pop in and out is harder than just learning where the darn keys are (and distracting). Until mentioned here, I'd never have dreamed of watching them and, erm, it's also rather difficult to do when reading from music which restricts you a little :) That, of course, applies to most instruments and, if you also play something like a clarinet, makes you cross-eyed as well.
