Never tried damping that high. Doesn't that kill all the feedback? I usually set damping to 0, and steering torque is currently up around 300. -- Pat Dotson

Religious war. :-) Some say damping should be twice as much as torque, others that it should be 0-35. The Slottweak page suggests a lot more than this. Read it, test it, and try it. I used to use 35/235 (d/t) but tried this and prefer it. Haven't tested new settings in a while actually... could be time. /Jens
