Half of my typos are due to my right hand reacting faster than my left. Are there good ways to correct this? (lemmy.ml)

In words with left- and right-handed letters on the keyboard, like "word", sometimes I will instead type "owrd" because the command from my brain seemingly is processed faster by my right hand than my left. It rarely, if ever, happens the other way around. In recent years, I think this accounts for as many as half of my typos. Interested to see if this happens to other people and how I could try correcting this.
