[X4U] Sticky Shift key?

[John Erdman]

I have both a G5 and an Intel iMac. Both have OS 10.4.10.

The problem:  Both of them are plagued with a sticky shift key. What  
I mean by that is that at the beginning of a sentence, the first two  
letters will be capitalized. It happens about 25% of the time. ONe  
machine is equipped with a Matias TActile pro keyboard and the other  
with the KB that was sent with the machine.

I haven't yet found which KB preference setting controls this  
behavior, but playing with the repeat keystroke controls doesn't seem  
to do anything.

And Oh yes, I've turned off the Caps Lock key to solve my problem of  
a wild pinky.

THis is about driving me up a tree. Any suggestions for how to  
eliminate or minimize the frequency of double capitals?

	It mostly happens when I type fast. But I don't believe that my  
finger is residing unnecessarily long on the shift key.... It's just  
that the return to un-shifted condition does not appear to be  
instantaneous. I've lived with this for a while now and just  
discovered that my wife has the same problem.... and she's a much  
better typist than me. There must be some sorta control that I'm  
missing.   Can anybody steer me in the right direction?


The work around I use is going back and fixing typos.... but that's a  
real p.i.t.a.

Thanks,
John
