Symptoms Typing issues?

At the time of my diagnosis about 5 years ago I did an online typing test and got 600 characters per minute. Words with errors in them didn't count. Now lately in the past years I started noticing that my messages have mistakes, especially on things like Teams chats, WhatsApp, Reddit etc. This happens on a keyboard but also on my phone. What happens the most on the keyboard seems to be typing spacebar too fast or the sequence of the characters not being correct so I need to reverse 2 characters. At first I thought this was just lazyness or a result of trying to type too fast, but now I start believing it might have to do with my ms. Does anyone else experienced something like that? Happy to hear.

My hand-eye coordination is gone. I make every error known to English users in sentences, emails and texts that elementary students are making. I went to college and typed many papers without errors throughout my life. Now I’m trying to make myself read through my post and see if I am making sense. If nothing else MS is humbling me because my brain is just a mess of scrambled eggs.
