Edge keys seem to miss keys more often then central keys
When typing I tend to have to re-press edge buttons (or so it appeared) every so often. So I did a simple/crude test of repeating a key quickly 3 times, then doing a separate key 3 times. I did this on Chestnut and Birch seems similar results.
The most accurate reproduction steps I could find was comparing two inner keys like f
and h
where I would get 100% tap to character occurring to the farthest keys 1
and 0
where it would miss some sometimes.
I did this by opening up 'Text Editor' and repeating as shown below.

Fs and Hs get 100% accuracy,
0s and 1s get ~ 90% on average:
