 WHat woul dbe helpful would be more specific feedback as to where you are
 having trouble with your typing: perhaps there are some details of the
 keyboard we can change to fix some systemic problems.

 The interkey spacing is too large, and the keys too small. The enter and
 backspace key are freakishly large, despite by no means being the most
 frequently used keys on the keyboard.

 Barry has a single early demo keyboard at the office which is bigger than
 the actual laptop keyboards by 1-2mm, but is tremendously more usable for
 normal typing.
