typing error. Typo if you are being informal. The others aren't used.

Oops. I've used #4 myself. But I use "typo" most often.

I do hear 'typographical error' in the States.

 The only one that would really strike anyone as clearly wrong is number 5. Typo error, all the others are fairly common or at least not clearly wrong.
