Does ur space button click twice when pressed in the center?

[T-Haris]

Hi all,

I need some urgent feedback from you good folks as I have been given until tomorrow to decide whether to send back my T-Mobile MDA Vario.

On the slide out keyboard, if I press the space/sym button lightly in the center it clicks once and if i press slightly harder it clicks a second time...

Is this meant to happen? Does anybody elses do this?

PS. If I press the button on either side there is only one click

Mine makes a sound like it's clicking twice but actually only does one click.

Thanks for the prompt reply sunseaker!

When you say 'does' one click, do you mean in the software? So you only get 1 space in Word even though you're hearing/feeling 2 clicks?

Yeah,so do I.I feel it was twice.But actually,it's only one space appeared in word.

That's what's happening with me, you can feel two clicks in the center but one if you press on either side, just one is showing in word.

So all Wizard Keyboards behave like this? At first I thought it may be something like a two function button ie. light press for normal space harder press for something else.

I looked in the manual for some kind of explanation but there's no mention of it...

If they really are all like this (keep the feedback coming pls) don't people find it really annoying to feel a double click happening on a frequently used button when all the other buttons function normally? (ie. click once)

The reason you get two clicks is because there's two of those little contacts below the space key - the reason for that, in turn, is that the key is pretty wide. These two contacts are on the same 'paths', though, so there's no differentiating a spacebar press on the left from one on the right.

The reason you only get 1 space is because, normally, if you press in the center in such a way that you happen to 'click' both left and right, it will be in such a short interval that the repeat is ignored. Try pressing any other key, such as a letter key, really fast (so not 'click click', but rather 'c-click') twice - it will also only enter the letter once.

It's not too annoying for me, as I either press it on the left or on the right, depending on which thumb happens to be nearest the key :)

Cheers Ze!

I thought it might be something to do with 2 contacts under the space bar.

Since this is not a fault (design fault maybe :D ) I'm happy to aim my thumbs to the corners and will rest assured that I don't have a dodgy Vario :P

Thanks to all that replied - I can keep my new toy! :wink:
