I can touch type, but you still have to find the home keys, particularly<br>
if the room lighting is somewhat dim. Sometimes, when I'm at the pc<br>
briefly, I have only a light on the other side of the room on besides<br>
the computer monitors. The brilliant planners for the house put the<br>
light switch on the far side of the room from where the door is.<br>
<br>
If I'm spending any period of time at the keyboard, I turn all the room<br>
lights on.<br>

You don't need the lights to find the home keys. :) All modern keyboards have raised index marks on the F and J keys (unless you're Apple and then it's the D and K keys for whatever crazy reason).<br>

As for your wall switch placement, get one of these (many similar ones from different brands) (watch out for the line wrap):<br>
