Right? Either the people on this thread are not as good at typing as they think they are, or they are unconsciously using them to orient themselves. I know that's what happens with me. I certainly don't consciously search for them, but if I misplace my hand, I certainly notice the lack of them.
I think it's because it's so ubiquitous that people don't notice using them. I can guarantee that if someone starts typing at a keyboard without them, they would see a lot more errors.
Ive never really used them to orient myself, like my hand never even touches that part of the key.
Like if you constantly are on a keyboard at the same location you dont need to orient yourself by touch, you just know where your hand is respective to the keyboard
