Way back in my old typing class (using manual typewriters), we were told that the qwerty keyboards were made so that the most common words would use an equal combination of left and right keystrokes. One letter from the left or right, the next from the other hand. This would speed up typing. Typing two letters from the same hand simultaneously would slow the typist down. This made perfect business sense. The more typing that could be done in the least amount of time meant more money for the business. (And, this goes back many generations.) [My first typewriter was an Underwood.]

I thought I am the only one having this weird issue. 
It happens 8 out 10 times when typing for me.
.AK.

What's really weird is that, apart from misplaced spaces, this is the only common typo I do.

That's a common one of mine, too.
Not so much a typo as a failure between brain and finger, it really annoys me when I type the wrong word ... For example, their is know way I can tolerate this. I hate it when I read that sort of drivel, so it really upsets me when my fingers type it! They're doing it more and more as well, when I'm typing at speed.

Luck, l or f depending on my attitude not because they're close together.

I can handle typos. What drives me up the wall is keyboards that have narrow Shift keys at either end so some manufacturer could add an extra key (or even two) that doesn't belong there.

Wait a sec, c and x are very close together.

For whatever reason I often miss the second "o" when I type SET NOCOUNT ON.
All other errors I blame on a faulty keyboard driver which cannot read my sloppy typing.

Yeah, that has been getting to a frequent problem - then I went to the neurologist and was told I have 'essential tremors' in my left hand ( only the left one though  ). And why it is called 'essential' I do not understand - I certainly don't want or need it. I have to spend more time rereading what I type to make sure I didn't double a letter or miss one....

I always press the correct keys. The order of the keys is the problem. For eaxmple.

I have dyslexic fingers, I can read and spell words fine but I cannot type them
The most common one is that I work for a Compnay
but other appear at intervals and sometimes letters randomly move along a word such as when I fill my car with perotl
For some reason this is never a problem when writing

In an odd coincidence, I tweeted this yesterday:
Quote: The next generation of auto-correct must have grammatical context checking in the choice engine. Look at preceding words to determine if the choice would ever appear. Also scan backwards from subsequent words to correct invalid insertion choices.
Just a random thought.

'serach'. It's a good thing app developers hardly ever have a need to use the term 'search'.

If I had a dollar for every time I typed "flase," I could stop programming for a living.

When I want to type "from" it comes out as "form", and when I want "form" I type "from".

I think English got it reversed. It should be form and from.
