Muscle Memory - kevin3g - 02-08-2019 03:05 PM

I know muscle memory requires practice but is it possible without a physical bump to tell where your fingers are like on a keyboard? I'm asking because I want to be faster without having to look at the keys.

You know that muscle memory requires practice. What practice?

I mean just getting familiar with the keyboard.

You could use a match to put a tiny droplet of glue into a key top.
Anyway, after about a year of using it daily you should be able to use it blindly.
I did master HP-25, HP-41CX, and a few others simply by using them.
I can key in programs with my hands behind me. (not on Prime).
