1. A system for adjusting a cursor speed, comprising:
a sensor with at least one capacitance sense electrode;
a controller in communication with the sensor;
memory in communication with the controller; and
programmed instructions stored in the memory and configured, when executed, to cause the capacitance controller to:
detect movement of an object moving proximate the sensor at an object speed;
apply a cursor speed to a cursor depicted in a display based at least in part on a cursor-to-object speed relationship;
detect a trigger event in the detected object movement; and
change the cursor-to-object speed relationship in response to detecting the trigger event;
wherein the trigger event includes detecting the object in a predefined region of the sensor.
