Hi there,
As Don said, this is related to what kind of
braille display you have.
If you have a brand new mPower or a Classic
purchased after 2005, you'll have KGS cells,
which has the plastic, curved cursor buttons.
If you have the mPower "transplant" or if
your Classic was purchased prior to 2005,
you'll have Tieman cells, which has rubber
cursor buttons. The braille intensity item
allows the power supply to change the voltage
that is passed to the display module. If you
set the intensity to 3 or lower, the voltage
will be reduced. If you set it to 7 or
above, the display will feel firm. This
setting does affect Tieman cells, but there
is no significant benefit for those who has
KGS cells (although I've noticed some
difference on my unit). On the KGS cells,
however, it does allow the cell to be more
"smooth" when you set the intensity to 3 or
lower, but if you set the same value on an
mPower with the Tieman cells, you'll find
that it is more smooth and spongy.
HTH,
Joseph pddness. I've got this information
directly from Andy (I think he posted about
this a couple months back).

Subject: [Braillenote] Braille intensity
I have tried to reduce the intensity of
braille on the display by
going into the options menu and choosing a
less-than maximal value
for intensity, but to zero effect. Is there
some issue in Keysoft
that has broken the braille intensity
setting, or is there something
I'm missing?
