Typing Issues

So I recently got the Pixel 4a 5G and all in all I am very satisfied. However, I got the feeling that typing is unusually buggy, meaning that when I type fast, the google keyboard identifies it as swype-style and enters a blank space after the gibberish it produced. At first I thought this might be a problem of the google keyboard, so I installed other keyboards but they showed similar behaviors. If they lack swype-features, it often happens that the cursor moves back into an already written word and such. Then I thought it might be the screencover I applied, but I got rid of it and the problem persists. Now I know that I am typing fast, but not that fast that it should be problematic and also I did _not_ experience something like it on my previous phone (which was a OnePlus One).

As this behaviour starts to annoy me, I'm just curious if someone experiences similar things with their phone or if it's something I'm doing wrong. Not really expecting any suggestions or solutions here, though if someone has a suggestion/solution/fix I'm probably up for it!

i haven't had this exact issue but i'm definitely having some muscle memory ones. my 3a xl had a nav bar so i'm having trouble adapting to a lower on the screen keyboard and my typing is messy. might be part of your issue but i've seen improvement over the last few weeks.
