I have found that watching me type is disturbing to good
typists. It is rather like watching a person with severe
cerebral palsy walk across a street. It does not bother me
much. I have always dealt with the problem. But it bothers
the watcher. They often want to fix me. Sigh. They have a
hard time understanding that "meatball does not work that way."
Hi Bob,
Don't rule out practice just yet. Dyslexia and pour hand eye coordination
will make it harder yes, but in the end they will have little effect when
learning touch typing since you mustn't look at the keys or your hands
anyways. I have M.S. so my hands and arms shake quite a bit some times or
my right eye starts screwing with my depth perception and to make maters
worse I have *fat* fingers.
What really helped me out was the use of a large keyboard, with heavy
separated keys like in the days of old; sadly my work calls for use a my
laptop most of the time and the keys are quite small and stuck together.
There are several keyboards available with key guards. My wife uses one
at home, as well as an analog joystick ("Trax-sys Infogrip Joystick
Plus") rather than a mouse).
