Typing Question
I'm able to type OK but being a Man, my fingers and hands are larger than the Average woman and I CONSTANTLY have to go back and correct my errors due to "finger-hangover"...I mean if I type (very Fast) "The quick fox jumped over the lazy dog" often it comes out:

"trhe quyickl fgox jumnpedf....."

SO...Is there a keyboard made for larger hands??

1. I type 100-140 words a minute and I still make mistakes..
I have rather large hands for a female and having nails dont help matters either. What I tend to do is usually slow down a bit. Warming up also helps, I notice when I first start typing in the am I make a mess, as I warm up my typing improves and I can type 99% error free at 120wam.

I also had to adjust from a regular keyboard to my laptop which is much much much smaller and I'm an error machine on here. I think my backspace is going to be worn out before my warranty is up :)

Just slow down a little and DONT CONCENTRATE. I find that if I concentrate on my typing I make waaaaaaaaay more errors than if I just let things flow.

3. I agree with your last sentence.
Sometimes I type better if I'm having a conversation with someone else!
