Default Change of keyboard

Amazing the number of mistakes I am making in posts just because of a different keyboard---so much lighter touch and because of this missing letters out,and slightly differnt set up
Do any of you others experience the same problems when you change from your regular keyboard?

Default Re: Change of keyboard

I don't have the sensitivity of the keys problem so much as location. My home keyboard has the home/end/delete/page-up/-down/insert keys vertically - on my work one they're horizontal, and if I'm away from my desk using the lappie keys I cannot find a thing...

I changed the keys around on our lead DBA's keyboard so the top line read ITSALLGOOD but he didn't notice for a while...

Smart **** can touchtype.....

I wouldn't be worried about that mate, after 32 years I'm only only just wearing through the fingerprints on one hand.... An entire finger would take a lifetime
