You are right and I do understand that it will take more time and my speed has been increasing steadily at a rate of about 20cpm per month. I make about 10 mistypes every minute. Even if I slow down, my fingers still get confused from time to time. Are there specific exercises I can do to correct the mistakes I make?

Did you check out http://www.keybr.com/ yet? The exercises are a lot shorter than the 2-minute test at hi-games (typically about 100 characters per test), and the way it is presented makes it easier to focus on single characters - which might help increasing accuracy. Plus there's a graph for error rate and speed. The downside IMHO is the way it combines english words to make non-english words which are unusual to type.

I agree with the others that it takes time to get one's speed up (I'm only approaching my previous QWERTY speed after about a year myself).

Ryan Heise's tips for learning also make a lot of sense.

I notice the exact same thing! It would seem like upper row or maybe K would be the hard part, but I mix up R/S more than anything and flub "I" a lot too. You have a lot more experience and speed though. I don't know if I'll grow past the R/S thing naturally or have to work at it.
