× Yeah, these days most of the time I only type on my keyboard because I have to work on my computer every time and the only time when I write is when we are on a meeting.
✓ Yeah, these days I usually type on my keyboard because I have to work on my computer all the time, and the only time I write is during meetings.
The original uses awkward adverbs and prepositions: 'most of the time I only type' is better as 'I usually type'; 'every time' is unnatural for continuous computer use, so 'all the time' fits present-tense habitual meaning; 'when we are on a meeting' is incorrect preposition and article use—use 'during meetings' or 'in a meeting'. Also removed redundant 'most of the time' duplication.
× Uh, most of the time I use my external keyboard.
✓ Uh, most of the time I use my external keyboard.
This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Left here to show it meets the allowed list; no error from the provided problem types.
× Even though I have laptop, I use my keyboard to type most of the time.
✓ Even though I have a laptop, I use my external keyboard to type most of the time.
Missing article 'a' before 'laptop' is an article/pronoun-type error; also 'my keyboard' is slightly ambiguous, so specifying 'external keyboard' makes reference clear. The correction follows present-tense habitual context.
× This is because I really like the sound of mechanical keyboard that I have.
✓ This is because I really like the sound of the mechanical keyboard I have.
Missing definite article 'the' before 'mechanical keyboard' and awkward relative clause 'that I have' can be tightened to 'I have'. This is an article/adjective usage issue; the corrected sentence reads more naturally.
× Uh, I still remember, uh, my first experience typing on a keyboard in a grade 9, although I had been typing on my previous school days.
✓ Uh, I still remember my first experience typing on a keyboard in grade 9, although I had typed on keyboards at my previous schools.
Use 'in grade 9' not 'in a grade 9'; 'had been typing on my previous school days' mixes tense and incorrect noun phrase. Past perfect 'had typed' fits to show earlier action before grade 9; 'at my previous schools' corrects the noun phrase.
× But I do remember typing on grade 9 because when I type, uh, reflexes comes class 9.
✓ But I do remember typing in grade 9 because when I typed, my reflexes came in class 9.
Multiple issues: preposition 'in grade 9' not 'on'; tense consistency requires past tense 'when I typed'; subject-verb agreement: 'reflexes comes' is incorrect—use plural verb 'came' with plural subject 'reflexes'. Also 'class 9' becomes 'in class 9' for clarity.
× MMM, there were time when I use online typing applications like typing masters and other monkey typing.
✓ Well, there were times when I used online typing applications like TypingMaster and Monkey Typing.
'There were time' should be plural 'there were times' (singular/plural issue). Tense should be past 'used' to match 'there were times'. Proper nouns for applications capitalized and named correctly. This falls under verb + -ing and plural/tense corrections per allowed list.
× With the help of that I got to type faster and this is how I improved my typing skill.
✓ With their help I learned to type faster, and that's how I improved my typing skills.
Use past tense 'learned' or 'got to' is informal; 'learned to type faster' is clearer. 'Typing skill' should be plural 'typing skills'. Also 'With their help' refers to the applications and is more natural. Tense consistent past narrative.
