usually I am "at one" with my mouse. The mouse moves via the familiar movement of my hand to the position required. Since a few years mice have now a scroll button which help endlessly when scrolling up and down a page "underneath" the mouse.
Depending on my mood and the stress or excitement, however, the mouse pointer sometimes feels too slow when flicking through the pages. Eventually, I reduce the mouse resolution to be faster. Then I notice that the mouse tends to overshoots the target position or pages too fast.
My request is to install a pressure pad on the side of the mouse that works as a speed dial. Harder squeeze translates into a lower resolution of the mouse pointer and thus faster movement. Holding it lighter translates into a higher resolution of the mouse pointer and more precise movement. Apple has gone some ways with this mouse [1] but their 'squeeze' button is a button rather than a speed dial.
An interesting variation is to use the downward pressure of the hand palm on the mouse for the same purpose. Low pressure for low resolution and high pressure for high resolution.
