Hi
I have a 60w Chinese laser, does anyone know how to slow down the pantograph movement when using arrow buttons to move head to position, mine is so fierce and fast it is impossible to accurately align on a object?
Any suggestion would be welcome

I change the jog speed (see red arrows) by using the keypad on the laser
Do you have a similar keypad?

One of my favorite features in the remote for Ruida [accessory or cel phone app] is having 3 different speed available at the touch of a button- I keep the keys on the console at a high speed for getting around the bed, and a slow speed for minute movements on the remote, which toggles to a medium speed.
