    Was just curious if there was any way to change how much the volume knob turns down/up the volume.

    I find that if I go slow, it seems to work good...but the faster I go, the slower it adjusts the volume. Is there any way to configure it?

    Also, the media buttons above the keyboard, is there any way to configure those as well? Like if I press the "e" for the Internet, can I have it open Firefox instead of Explorer?

    1. The volume knob on the M9750 is not the best. Unfortunately you will have to go slow on it and that is really the only way to do it.
    2. In the M9750 downloads sticky there is a program that you can see to reset all of the media buttons. For example I have firefox / itunes / windows media player / etc.

    The internet browser selection is easy-just manually bring up FireFox and set it as your default internet browser. As Stone825 stated, there is a thread on this forum -don't have the name right off hand-that provides an app. that allows reconfiguring some of the FinngerTouch buttons on the m9750 (except for e-mail).
