Keyboards

I can imagine the challenge that you have to go through. I have big hands as well and I really have this difficulty when I type on small keyboards, especially netbooks that always have keyboard layouts that have keys close to each other. The tip of my fingers are usually close to each other and I end up pressing the wrong letters or numbers. For that, I resolve it by connecting an external keyboard that has the usual keyboard layout and size. That way, I won't have a hard time with the layout of the keyboard on those small netbooks, and I won't get to tarnish the printed letters or characters due to so much typing. With touch screens, I do get troubled at times. Even with Smart Phones that are quite abundant now a days. I still get words incorrectly spelled. Unlike the keyboards that have guides on the letters F and J, touch screen is definitely something that you need to look at until you get the hang of where you should press. Familiarity would help later on when one continually uses it.

Yes, I do have the same experience as what you have. I started with the use of the keyboard in the desktop and when I transferred to the laptop, it was very difficult at first. But somehow, by constant use, I was able to adjust and later on find it easy. Now, I am using and iPad and it is once avian quite difficult to type since its just the screen that you type to. I feel awkward and my typing is quite slow. But I am sure that by constant use, it will be easy later on. It is just a matter of adjusting.

Actually what happenes they keyboard of laptop and desktop is different laptop has soft buttons. When I learned typing i could typing in speed on my desktop as i learned on typewriter. The button of typewriter is too hard to type but the button of keyboard are soft same like as there is a difference between laptop's button and desktop keyboards button.

hi, i dont know why but me too,i am fast to type when i use my keyboard but when i use my laptop keyboard it keeps me slow especially in using of number and symbols.

Im used to my laptop keyboard so i have no problem typing. But im not used to other's laptop and hence would make alot of mistakes when typing on other's laptop

Even I have the same problem. I can type very fast in the Desktop bu in Laptop I will not get the speed. Moreover when I am typing the cursor will go backwars and I am finding very difficult to type fast in the Laptop

Just before computers came in I did a year of typing class on a typewriter, I could touch type but when computers came in I couldn't and still cant touch type on a computer keyboard so I can understand how a laptop could be different.

Even me, my friend. I am much faster if typing in desktop. It seems my finger did not move fast when I type in the keyboard of laptop...

It is really slightly different to type your words from a standard desktop keyboard then shifting to a laptop keyboard. The structure of the letters from the keys of the desktop and laptop, you have to practice it.

I am just the opposite. i think i am so much used to my laptop that I find it hard to type fast on desktop keyboards now. It feels new and unusual now.

yup that's true. I can type faster using a typical keyboard than using my laptop. But I'm getting used to type using my laptop and I use my laptop most of the time. I think the reason why we can't type faster using laptop because the keys are closer to each other and obviously keys are smaller compare to a keyboard.

Same here too pal.I'm using laptop at home and it is really quite different when typing at home and typing at the office.Me too type faster in the keyboard at the office than at laptop.

LoL , we are the like that have a big hand . The laptop have the smaller keys and I think this is difficult for us . But the touch screen , I do not think there are any problems becaus e we can use our nails and it really do a great job .

I agree. If you will ask me what i prefer to use in typing via personal computer I'd rather choose the desktop type. Actually, me too is having a hard time using laptop in typing. But now, I can already type fast as i could either desktop or laptop by continously using laptop. And one thing i proved to myself that saying " Practice makes perfect" is absolutely correct. Keep on practicing or using laptop for you to be skilled enough in typing using laptop.
