Tapping getting less consistent, what should I do?

Been playing a crapton of stream-maps recently and just a day or 2 ago, I noticed I occasionally miss notes due to a certain motorics error, that being my middle finger stopping completely halfway through a tap, which basically causes a big error in the rhythm, due to me missing a note. (<--- longest single sentence ever?) So what should I do, take a break? Am rather bad with taking breaks though so I might not manage a whole week... but I could mouse only for a week and then go back to the sense making left handed tapping... Thanks in advance, I really need some help due to knowing nothing of human biology, anatomy, etc.

Would have posted a picture of the keyboard if I had anything I could show the shining-ness of my zx,sd,we with.

If you're having issues with stopping completely halfway through a tap, what I would do is keep trying until I get it right. Practice makes perfect is just what I'm going with :P

I didn't mention in the first post, but I at a point could do 210 bpm 1/4 (for about 50 or so notes, consisently) and now can fail a song at 185 bpm 1/4 due to this error which really bugs me

Have you been excessively popping your fingers or not at all?
Popping my fingers usually can help with things like that, but I'm not a doctor at all. :?
Have you tried switching which fingers you use?

Can't really play with anything else than middle finger + index finger combo....
I did once try ring finger + middle finger but quit the song due to messing up easy notes...
As for popping, I play with either a separate keyboard that has rather "deep" keys so I need to pop or my laptop's keys so tapping becomes impossible at fast speeds if I pop (try it XD)
