Typing with guantlets

There's a reason touch typing is called as such. You press the keys through touch, much like a guitarist positions his fingers for chords out of practice and muscle memory.

I like to think that it also refers to the mechanism you use in typing. Touching the keys to depress them. It's amazing to hear people typing from the far side of the room, even worse when you happen to be sitting next to them.

I call them Keyboard Barbarians they seem to require bashing away at the keyboard to get the letters upon screen.

"RAWR I'M TYPING, CAN YOU SEE ME TYPE RAWR"

Not only is it annoying, it's also breaking the keyboard. If you think you are a Keyboard Barbarian, please stop.
