Keyboard Depth and Tension Controls
There are two thumbwheels on the Diamante, one on each side of the keyboard, that control the
keyboard depth and keyboard tension.
The depth of stroke adjustment wheel, on the left, determines the height of the number bar and all the
steno keys. This affects how far the keys go down when you press them.
The keyboard tension adjustment wheel, on the right, controls how soft or firm the keys feel. The
extensive range, between the top and bottom stopping positions on the wheel, allows you to customize
the tension to your particular writing touch. Do not force the wheel past either stopping position.
