8 is about 0.2 degrees on a 3.4 m wide 3440-pixel screen 2 m away, so a
trigger press turned into a drag unless the hand was very still. 32
(about 0.9 degrees) felt much better in the headset (2026-10-03).

The 3D mouse drives SteamVR's laser through the ft_pointer virtual
controller, so its events reach the screens the same way a controller's
do. The filter held every press, which turned the mouse's short drags
(selecting a character or two, nudging a slider) into clicks. Mark
button events from hand controllers and start the filter only on those.
