1.3 Working with the keyboard and trackpad
Writing with IC Keys requires a certain familiarisation phase as
the response characteristics differ fundamentally from a standard
keyboard. With a conventional keyboard, the fingers rest on the keys
and do not initiate any process until a key is pressed. With IC-Keys,
an impact is triggered with every touch (approach) of the glass
surface. The touch characteristics are therefore more comparable to
a smartphone or tablet PC: The sensitivity of the glass surface can
be individually set. Please note that unnecessarily high sensitivity can
result in erroneous input.
The trackpad works precisely in the way familiar from a laptop. It
has three fields, the cursor field and a right-hand and left-hand key.
On the left-hand side of the cursor field there is also a vertical slider,
discernible by the horizontal bars. With this slider, it is possible to
quickly slide documents or pages horizontally, comparably to the
wheel of a computer mouse.
