Guys,
Thanks for all you comments.
The solution lies in the CH control manager. At first, I didn't fiddle
with it because I thought MS knew what they were doing but I guess CH
knew better. What did the trick for me was not only the sensitivity
but also being able to control the curves. It took a lot of iterations
until I got to something I can use - I am sure I will have to play
with it more in the future.
