Could you increase the range for the mouse sensitivity option? I'm finding that even maxing it out results in painfully slow look speed.

I've found that `localStorage.mouseSensivity = 4` (the default max is 1) seems to set it to about the right amount. However mouse movement is now very jumpy. It seems that individual mouse events are visible and mouse acceleration curves cause very unpleasant behaviour.

Maybe it is something to a high resolution screen, so one CSS pixel is actually quite large?

Thanks for the hint. I like 8 even better.

Somehow, the mouse is not just slow but has a hard downtrend. After swiping 5 times left to right and back again. I look at my feet. The downtrend increases with higher mouse sensitivity.

I guess it depends on your system settings. I have my Logitech set up to almost max speed/acceleration so it felt very natural to me.
On a Mac/Safari, I noticed that looking around while holding the left mouse button down made it normal
Same here! My mouse arm is getting a workout lifting and recentering 5 times per turn lol.
