You can try calibration through trial and error. Just move the control one way
and if it seems less responsive than before, move it the other way. :)
Seems crude but you can definitely do it without sighted assistance.

Yes, and I think I've discovered something, and it's really weird.
I have found two ways around this. One is as I said earlier; lock the control
and option keys with control option semicolon. Then you don't have to press the
control and option keys, and you press the same command to get out.
You think that's cool? Check out the new improved weather widget in Dashboard!
