You can adjust the settings of your keyboard to make typing much more convenient for you. Some of these option settings can be a great help to those people who have joint and dexterity limitations.
Step 1
Select Start, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound. When the Hardware and Sound Window appears select the keyboard option.
The Keyboard Properties dialog box will appear. Select the Speed tab at the top left corner. You will then see three sliding adjusters. The first two are the character repeat adjusters.
Adjusting these sliders will do the following:
Repeat delay: Controls the time it takes before a typed character is typed again when the key is held down.
Repeat Rate: This regulates the repetitiveness speed when a key is held down after the initial repeat character appears on the screen.
Step 2
The third slider controls the blink rate. This can have an effect on the insertion line. Again, move the arrow to select the blink rate.
Step 3
Finally select the OK button and apply the changes and close.
