Touch typing while being pretty much blind is very difficult. It can be hard to even find the keyboard.

I touch-type in the dark without seeing the keyboard just fine.

But that's on a physical keyboard that has something which virtual keyboards lack: tactile feedback.

Tactile feedback is one of the missing pieces of today's VR devices. Without it typing on a fully virtual keyboard is just not going to be nearly as accurate as on a physical keyboard, and providing visual feedback is just about the only thing you can do about it.
