hunt-and-peck method

Inefficient keyboard technique

The hunt-and-peck method is a style of typing where you search for each key visually and strike it with one or two fingers, rather than using touch-typing with all ten fingers on the home row.

It's slower but requires no training: He never learned proper typing—still uses the hunt-and-peck method after thirty years.
