[Elecraft] K3 Keyer speed adjustment feature request

It's pretty normal for me to make keyer speed adjustments while I'm sending
to match my sending speed to the other guy's. What I'm finding is that while
my right hand is sending dits and dahs my left hand loses some of its fine
motor skill dexterity. So although my intention was to go from 24 to 22, I
find that I actually changed from 24 to 20. This is followed by some bad
characters and a further back and forth speed correction.
It seems as though one increment of the encoder results in a 1 WPM change in
speed. I propose that each WPM change require 2 or 3 encoder increments. Or
possibly have it as a CONFIG option.
(I must agree, however, that the K3 adjustment is vastly improved over my
FT1000D which had a skinny knob that was extremely touchy).
73,
