I suspect it is the difference between tightening up to contract a muscle versus releasing a muscle. I imagine it's like a spring, it takes more effort to compress than release. Also the paddle is spring loaded so that'll help too.hollus wrote:Is there any difference between pressing the mouse button and "releasing" the mouse button?
If I play with my finger in the air, I seem to be (I feel) faster at lifting it than at pushing down (bending it). Same way one is faster at avoiding an incoming object than at grabbing it, maybe? (instinctive reaction to hot objects and throwed weapons or fists?)
Lifting the mouse finger is the equivalent of releasing a lever in the back of the steering wheel, which is what they really do at starts, isn't it?
