Well, I do believe that erroneous clicks will decrease usability rather than increase it, as users have to correct mistakes instead of just clicking the same button for the second time, with better aim. But let us try your approach, just to see how it works.

If it would make it easier, I can prepare all of the rectangle coordinates. I would only need the number of units width and height of the skin (lets try ATI86) and I'll do the rest!

Ok. Here is the current rectangle data:

Code:

/** TouchMap[] ***********************************************/
/** This map translates on-screen rectangles into keys.     **/
/*************************************************************/
struct
{
  byte KeyCode;
  int X,Y,W,H;
} TouchMap[] =
{
  { KBD_RIGHT,  380,45,43,28 },

Change it the way you see fit. Also attaching the calculator image to this post.
