TypingMaster 7 SpeedSkin Edition for Windows Includes PC/Desktop Keyboard Cover

I bought this software at Best Buy but it did not come with the key skin. This is a great product, I have tried many typing programs, 4 in total, because typing is very difficult 4 me (and I'm picky!) & this is the best I've tried so far. It is also reasonably priced, but cheaper at Best Buy, maybe b/c it didn't come with the key skin? The only thing I'm upset about is that I wish mine had come with a key skin! Unlike most programs I've found, this one starts from the beginning 2 the end. A lot of programs don't follow a specific plan, they just have you do a typing test in the beginning & then introduce letters with out showing you which fingers 2 use, that's the whole point of these programs, 2 teach you! And like another review stated, it does let you go back & redo a lesson, it also lets you know what keys you need 2 review. The only thing I would change is 2 make the letters bigger 2 read because when you are a beginner it is hard 2 follow along with the text.

The cover 4 the keys is great. My daughter practices often & can't cheat. Nice program.

The skin is useful. I could type as much as 40 wpm without it (as a self-taught typist), but was slowing myself down by "cheating." The skin forces me 2 follow the correct patterns, which are more efficient than my old way, & I no longer go back & forth from the copy 2 2 the keyboard 2 watch my fingers.

I bought it 4 my kids 9 & 11. My 11 year old liked it but my 9 year old thought that the exercies were too hard & activities are not fun. He likes his sponge bob typing cd better.

Can't cheat with this one. I am bad about searching 4 keys by looking, but the skin prevents that (and aggravates everyone in my family who still uses the hunt & peck method.) This program gives you plenty of feedback & advice. I think the drills are well done. I would recommend this 2 anyone looking 4 a typing tutor.
