THIS. I got a Das Keyboard with no markings just to finish learning touch-typing (I had done half a course at one point, so I sort of knew what to do..)

Speed is secondary to not breaking your focus/train of thought mid-sentence.

Me too.

I recently also noticed that if I close my eyes while typing, my accuracy is very very close to 100% (ie in every typing test I've taken to try it, I got 100%, but in real-life typing, I do make the occasional mistake) while with my eyes open, its anywhere between 80% and 99%, depending on how tired I am.
