Do you have very large hands or a narrow keyboard? On a normal 85-key "75% keyboard", I cannot reach the up-arrow key with my pinky while the rest of my fingers are on the home keys.

I've had similar cursor problems with those keyboards that have page-up and page-dn next to the up-arrow key. Just a little finger displacement when trying to left-arrow and the cursor is suddenly inserting my subsequent typed text far from the intended location.

The keyboard I'm referring to was small, like htpc use. My desktop uses a full keyboard and I've brought one with me for laptop use before.

And my hands are a little big. Not crazy big though.
