A question about mouse settings:

[hedgehog]

I tend to have a little jerkiness to my hand motions. I do a lot of drafting, and it's a pain to see a little line in the wrong place because the mouse picked up a tremor. If I adjust the pointer speed, everything moves too slowly. Is there a way to adjust the mouse so it doesn't pick up very fine movements?

1. Not with a standard mouse using built in windows drivers

You may be able to find this capability in a specialised mouse or trackball that comes with its own software.

I know exactly what you mean. I had a really flash laser mouse that I love but for design and illustration it's way too touchy and I've reverted back to a battered old optical. Even so, I need to zoom right in for tricky bits and periodically 'select all' to see if there are any unwelcome little stray lines.

2. If you have XP, here's a couple of drivers to try:

There's also a widget you can buy, from http://www.montrosesecam.com/

Hope this helps...
