I don't use asdfjkl; but I'm pretty quick...I just hover my hands above the keyboard and dart whatever finger is above the key down to it.

Can you type?
SHHH!!!!

I can type at a decent pace, though most 7th graders in keyboarding class could beat me. I don't use the "homerow" , but I do use all 17 of my fingers.

I don't have to look. I just kinda do like Tripper does and press the button with whatever is the closest finger.

Like Buttocks, i "freestyle" it. Sometimes i'll even resort to kicking the keyboard when i can't find a particular letter.
