hunts and pecks
Keyboards without training
Hunts and pecks describes a slow, inefficient typing method where someone searches for each key individually before pressing it, using only one or two fingers rather than touch-typing.
The phrase evokes a chicken pecking at scattered grain.
Someone who types this way is called a hunt-and-peck typist.
My grandfather still hunts and pecks on his keyboard, but he gets the job done.
