Actually, I *am* a touch-typist (about 100wpm, give or take) but I find the
hand positioning to use one of those damn things to be somewhat
uncomfortable and turns me into hunt-and-peck because if I try to touch-type
on them, my fingers miss the keys. If they work for you, great, but please
don't think they're perfect.
