Claim:
1. A computer-implementable method for controlling a force sensing keyboard to provide automatic compensation for force variation in sensitivity, comprising: detecting defining characteristics regarding a typing style of an individual user; and, automatically compensating for force variation in sensitivity over time based upon the defining characteristics regarding the typing style of the individual user to provide automatic compensation for force variation in sensitivity of the keyboard; and wherein the detecting the defining characteristics comprises detecting variations in the defining characteristics over time; the automatically compensating accounts for the variations in the defining characteristics over time the detecting the defining characteristics comprises determining a typing style of the individual user between a touch type style and a hunt and peck style; if the typing style corresponds to the touch type style then applying or making use of a force sensing keyboard sensitivity for the keyboard; and, if the typing style corresponds to the hunt and peck style then adjusting the sensitivity of the keyboard to correspond to be similar to typing on touch screen type keyboard which is different from the force sensing keyboard sensitivity.
