I'd agree with going with blank keycaps or similar. I learned to touch type in Jr HS, so my typing wasn't terrible. But I definitely had some bad habits. One that I particularly wanted to unlearn was I always looked at keys when typing numbers and somewhat less the corresponding symbols. Plus a few other small ones.

My beloved thinkpad keyboard died one day, and I decided to finally try a fancy-schmancy mechanical keyboard. I spent a long time working on a laptop as my primary box, and didn't want to carry another keyboard, so I just stuck with ThinkPad.

I spent a couple weeks feeling like I couldn't type, to varying, diminishing degrees. But I really focused on doing the right thing rather than the fast thing.

Now I'm super happy I did spend that time on it. I love my mechanical keyboard, but it wasn't necessary to improve my typing. Though there are a number of benefits I do see because of it's ability to be programmed. I have a bunch of custom settings on it just for my workflows.
