TABLE 2.

Sense of control scale (SCS) including scale step descriptions.

SCS rating Scale description
1 No control Unintended direction
2 Almost no control Cursor sometimes still Heavy resistance
3 Little control Cursor jittery
4 Some control Can sometimes reach target
5 Almost full control Right direction Cursor imprecise
6 Full control

Note that the primary, most frequent descriptions (the first column of scale descriptions) appear to be somewhat general and directly related to the experience of control whereas the secondary, less common descriptions (the latter two column) appear to be more task specific and more often related to cursor accuracy.
