I recall the serial 4000FLX drivers offered a variable gain feature which provided variable gain starting with low gain at low ball deflections gradually increasing to higher gain at higher ball deflections. The end result was the ability to make accurate small moves without being stuck to crawling ...

I realize that the new driver interface is easier for new users to comprehend and separating translate and rotate eases the learning curve, but I think a lo...
