I think its pretty neat! I’m still trying to get used to it. The mouse cursor movement is a bit too fast for my taste, but that can be probably customized in the firmware. The concept of teleporting the cursor to different quadrants of the screen is even better (albeit stranger). My main gripe is th…

[image] jesse: that could definitely use tuning Maybe in the future, this could be added to the gui program. I think it would be good to allow users to shape this to their individual needs as well. For inspiration: the Kensington Expert Mouse comes with a gui programm for Mac and Windows tha…

@squence That screenshot reminds me so much of Windows 95®

After one day I love the mouse keys, huge potential, but the learning curve with acceleration is demanding. I want to tweak! This may be a n00b question, but how does one modify the settings? I’m very new to C. I was looking at the documentation but I’m not sure where to set the values. I tried Mou…

The documentation could use some clarity (sorry about that!) and a better example. You set these properties in the setup() function of your sketch, usually somewhere after the Kaleidoscope.use(...) line. The MouseKey settings are properties, not functions (the docs aren’t clear on this at the moment…

[image] andrewg: I found the mouse acceleration prohibitive - but I find that’s the case for nipple mice also. In the past when I’ve tried devices like that, I find the mouse acceleration seems to “kick in” at the worse moment… just as I’m approaching my target… and then I zoom past it. […

[image] Javaru: I’m mot sure if that would work, or would be hard to get use to. It’s doable, I had such a setup on my sketch for a while, and it worked reasonably well. I just couldn’t get used to using the speed modifiers, so I’m back to using a single speed + acceleration profile. I tend t…

I can’t really see an instance where I’ll be moving the cursor around with my keyboard, but I can see instances where I need to switch back and forth between keyboard and mouse in order to click a static target. In such a case, “clicking” from the keyboard would be a time saver.

I suspect this is the paper we want to read to find out about what we should be doing: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=725310
