I use FSK as well but I find that sometimes it registers my key presses incorrectly. Maybe it has something to do with my squishy screen (mine has the "waves" problem). How do you have the options set up within the program (auto-correct, etc.)?

Do you have any problems switching to Touchpal from whatever keyboard you have set as your default? I even tried using SIP and I can't switch over to it.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem with it registering things incorrectly. But I changed my screen sensitivity by recalibrating with HARD presses and I don't seem to have the issue anymore.

Hard presses huh? That's interesting because I did the exact opposite. I guess I should try the hard presses to see if that makes a difference. Which skin have you been using?

I switched to the simple skin. Much more room for error IMO.

But yeah, I tried the opposite first and then switched... my thumbs would put pressure across multiple buttons, which would cause the problem.

The only downside is that the finger scrolling needs to be pressed harder too.

Is the simple skin the stock skin it comes with? I'm on Spb's website looking at the available skins and I don't see one called "simple". I'm using one called Standard which looks very iphone-like.

Wow - that was quick! Thanks. What happens when you install the cab though? Does it just place the skin files in the skins directory so that you can easily switch between this skin and the one I already have installed? Or would installing the cab actually overwrite the skin I have now so that I can't switch back?
