I made a few tests, for me there are no issues related to the distance, but it's that unusual just using the left hand, that it's like I've never have seen a QWERTZ keyboard (de) before. If I type with both hands I know where the chars are, but as soon as I'm using the left hand only, I need to search the chars. Searching chars is very time consuming. I needed 4 minutes to type the OPs initial sentence. The OP needed 5 minutes, IOW both of us are more or less equal slow in typing this ridiculous short sentence. IMO the problem is the orientation. I'm really confused and disoriented when using just the left hand. Regards, Ralf
