Hi Jed, Do you normally use touch typing or standard typing? If you are used to touch typing and accidently switched to standard typing it may appear like what you described. In standard typing you have to find a character and then either do a double tap or split tap to type it. Your very hard tap may register as a double tap some of the time and then the letter would get typed. Go into an edit field and turn the rotor to Typing Mode, then make sure it's set to the typing style you prefer, you switch between the typing modes by flicking up or down with one finer when the rotor is on typing mode. After you have it where you want it make sure to turn the rotor back to characters or words because otherwise it gets changed again.
