Keyboard Settings
The majority of Diamante users successfully adjust their keyboard accuracy using the depth of stroke
and the tension control adjustment wheels. See
Keyboard Depth and Tension Controls
on page 24.
Occasionally, when a very short depth of stroke is used or after adjusting the tension control and depth
of stroke, you may continue to experience stacking or splitting. The Keyboard Settings allow you to
further customize the keystroke interaction to your writing style.
You can save changed Keyboard Settings to a keyboard profile. You can load the saved profile at
another time to quickly apply the settings. You may want to create different profiles for situations when
your writing varies. For example, you are in a situation where several people are using the Diamante or
you write differently first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon. You make adjustments to the
Keyboard Settings and save them to a profile. The next time you write, you load the desired profile to
have the Diamante automatically apply the saved Keyboard Settings with your personalized
adjustments.
