Interesting. I've tried and tried to get that to control my maximum speed. I spoke with my dealer, when I actually took it in, because I was sure there was something wrong with it not with me - of course LOL. She said that in both BSR modes that slide has nothing to do with your speed. It is all in the speed of the movement of your hands. Yet other 440QE owners have told me the same thing about the speed control, that I should control it with the slide.
