I am older and have not noticed any (greater) problems, though I did notice that about 15 years ago the standard microsoft type keyboards that were everywhere and low travel membrane type were messing with my typing timing - a lot of moves that timed out right normaly were going wrong, eg swapped letters mainly.
I was taught to type by my mother, who was faculty secratary for the physics department at the local university and a professional typist typing things like PhDs for physics students, on golfball typewriters.
She sat me at an IBM golf ball typewriter, with a towel over my hands so I could not see them, and a keyboard layout cheat sheet to help me feel my way - at age 6 onwards. So I was used to feeling my way with tactile full click and decent travel.
So I adapted, I only need to type as fast as I can think, so mostly I can get by with 3-8 fingers anyway, but at the moment I type on a Zero gaming keyboard which is the old full click style.
So my point is it might not be just you.
My favorite keyboard is from the old NEC APC II computers, best combo of travel and click. I have one but need to get together the convertor for it.
- bdavis__ 4y agoStarting about 5 years ago, I noticed that when i type letters show up out of order. seems to be more prevalent on newer keyboards. also, the interaction with automatic spelling correction / word completion can make mistakes show up that were not from the typist.
