SlowMousion

SlowMousion is a tiny and simple-to-use software application that you can use to decrease the speed of your mouse cursor when pressing and holding down a keyboard or mouse button. It runs in the system tray and gives you quick access to the Mouse Properties dialog in Windows.

This type of tool can be of assistance to CAD and graphic designers for sensitive operations which require precision and finesse to draw shapes.

The whole installation procedure is a fast task that needs minimal user attention. At launch, SlowMousion creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area and becomes active.

The default button for mouse slowdown is the Windows key. However, it can be swapped for the Apps key, F4 or F8, any mouse buttons, or the scrollwheel. You can access the Mouse Properties dialog to customize settings for the horizontal and vertical scrolling, adjust the pointer speed, and so on.

SlowMousion can be asked to automatically run at every Windows startup until further notice. It's also possible to disable it instead of exiting the program.

There were no stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software utility didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. As we expected, it left a small footprint on system resources consumption, as it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly

Too bad that it doesn't implement an option for setting a custom keyboard. On the other hand, we must also take into account that it hasn't been updated for a long while.

Nevertheless, SlowMousion offers an intuitive and effective solution for temporarily reducing your mouse's speed on any axis, and it can handled by type of user with ease.
