Because of the light action of the keys, where they don't require much travel, combined with a large trackpad right below your hands and thumbs, if you are typing and you hit the trackpad, which is easy to do, the cursor will jump and place text in the wrong places. It took me about a month of adjusting my hands and finding the right distance for me.


The spacebar issue may or may not be related.
