564 mph...
One of my co-workers with an optical mouse got up to 675mph...
I think there is a special way of "snapping" your wrist.

I can't even get 100mph...I think my cordless mouse must be inhibiting things somehow.

i discovered this on accident last week.. if you leave on one of the tracks from johncoltrane.com (greensleeves), and then let the spank the monkey music come in, if it's synced somewhat right, you can get a pretty dope mix.

I've got my secrets.
In all honesty, I discovered a glitch, and I'm exploiting it.
I'm willing to e-mail, if anyone wants to know, so as not to spoil everyone else's fun.

Heh, I played with this throughout the weekend, thanks to someone posting the .swf onto Filepile.
716 is my record so far, and I have the screenshot to prove it.

Share the knowledge, man =)
273 is the best I could do... Didn't try much, though...
The rest of the VectorLounge/Amsterdam stuff is not bad either. Check out the Wireframe piece...

Hm, I found a glitch, not sure if it's the same. But I can't get much above 700 mph with it.

945... M$ Intellimouse Explorer Optical, tweaked windows for top mouse speed w/ full acceleration, and used the Intellimouse software to speed it up even more. The REAL trick was slowing it back down afterward.

Phalkin: My trick's a lot less convoluted. And doesn't involve whiplash trying to follow your pointer *grin*
Whatnot: E-mail me with what you figured out, and if it's the same, I'll tell you the other part of it to get full speed.

Yes, and it lives on a page next to a screenshot of your high score in Bejeweled.
Take those personal victories where you can get 'em, I suppose.

Gosh, my mouse feels so lethargic after tweaking it for mega-spanking and then reverting to normal...

Well, here's my non-hardware version:
Click the hand and drag it to the right side of the Flash frame. Keep going with the pointer, and then swing around to the opposite side of the window. Slowly bring the pointer back into the frame, and the hand will be drawn to it. It seems that the slower you go, the faster the hand does.
Have fun spanking your monkey.
(It had to be said)
