"Slow" mode works to some degree. In that mode, I have some control over the 
mouse, but it is is finicky to an unusable degree. I find it hard to describe 
exactly what it is doing. Sometimes it seems as if I move the mouse down, the 
ball moves up, I move the mouse up, the ball moves up, I move the mouse right, 
the ball moves right, I move the mouse left the ball moves right. But it isn't 
that clear-cut, if I move the mouse quickly, down, for example, the ball might 
move down. Mostly it seems like the ball responds erratically to the mouse 
movement. I can get the mouse outside of the Enigma window, in which case I 
get mouse events showing again in the log, this time with numbers in the minus 
to plus 300 range.

With all that, if I set the mouse speed to anything higher than 1, the mouse 
moves too quickly and erratically for me to do anything at all with it.
