Symptoms: Mouse movements are erratic, haphazard, and may never stop. Mouse may circle constantly around certain portions of the screen. Prospects turn away from the screen and reach for Dramamine, Bonine, or other motion-sickness remedy.
Examples: The mouse circles and circles and circles around an element of the screen.
Mouse flies back and forth wildly as the presenter searches for a command or location.
Record and watch your own demos or watch other presenters’ demos and time how long it takes before you get dizzy or sick trying to follow the mouse zipping around the screen:
- Uncomfortable after three-five minutes: mild, but needs treatment
- Painful after two minutes: moderate, treat right away
- Really sick within a minute: severe, emergency measures required
Cure: Consciously slow your mouse down.
Sloooowwwww
Yourrrrr
Mouuuuuse
doooooownnnnnnnn…!
Move your mouse smoothly and deliberately to the location you want, then take your hand OFF your mouse while you talk. This is called “Move and stop; move and stop.” Repeat as necessary until affliction disappears.
In severe cases, change the mouse speed setting in your Control Panel or Preferences from “Normal” to “Painfully Slow.” This will compensate and appear more comfortable to your audience. Apply treatment right away.
