Evaluation and conclusion

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 properlyToo 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.
