What do you mean? Do you mean that you make more typos using the Apple Pro Keyboard, or there are typos on the keys or something?

I used to find that I couldn't type as fast with the old Apple small keyboard that came with my G4, but now with the Pro Keyboard I can type very fast like I could with a PC keyboard.

i think it's the short keys that allow for more typos. fingers slipping and all that jazz... however, i still prefer it to PC keyboards because it is the quietest and most comfortable keyboard i've used. a lot of 'ultra quiet' PC keyboards (dell for one) are pretty quiet, but the keys are all mushy and you don't feel the keys click.
i've used the pro keyboard for a year now and i love it. i'm used to the short keys so my fingers are more precise. maybe it's training me better ^_~

I make alot of typos , might be because I use American, Italian and Swedish keyboards
Not recomended, it's at times very confusing

I'm glad I don't have to use french keyboards, man they're different..

Man I've been noticing the same thing for a very long time. It's like the keystrokes need to be tapped harder than a typical PC keyboard. Although I think those MacAlly keyboards might be better I haven't bought one to really test out. Don't know about the white Pro keyboard.
