Smoothing
Smooths the recorded path. Higher is calmer but lags more. 0 replays it exactly.
Sway with movement
The pointer trails behind a move, more the faster it goes, and swings back upright when it stops. Sway amount sets how far it leans.
Motion blur
The pointer streaks along its travel when it moves fast. Blur strength sets how far.
Shape change
Instant swaps on the frame, Fade dissolves the new shape in, Pop shrinks the old shape away as the new one springs in. Change length sets how long it takes.

Sway, under your own mouse.
