That's true. You'll just have to practice homing in the keys, usually by putting your thumbs on top of the shift keys or spacebar, then moving the thumbs upwards from there. Put both thumbs on the spacebar, slide thumbs two key rows up so that your thumbs are on top of G and H ... then spread apart so your thumbs are on F and J.

I've never had a problem homing without looking, but this may be a good training aid. In no time, you'll be aiming directly at the F and J home keys without needing to hunt for the home keys.

Another way is that, at first, you can "cheat" temporarily by glancing in order to initially aim the thumbs at the home keys, before you stop looking while typing...
