I see what you mean, but frankly, pressing <esc> to close a dialog and accept
the changes just feels strange to me. Of course the JMB concept is a good
opportunity to break with old traditions, but nevertheless we should not ignore
the lable on the key, and I think <esc> is commonly accepted as 'close and
forget what I did'.

Or how about using both buttons, one to accelerate mouse sensitivity, the other
to slow it down, like shifting gears.

I agree. They are there, and leaving them unused would be a waste of options.
