miskeyed
Hit wrong key
Miskeyed means typed incorrectly, usually referring to data entry errors where the wrong key was struck: The account number was miskeyed, so the payment went to the wrong person.
The error is mechanical rather than conceptual—you knew what you meant to type but hit the wrong key.
