Sensitivity

I don't see any mention of how the sensitivity affects the output. The nintendulator source seems to treat sensitivity as a multiplier on the returned value (specifically 1.25x, 1.5x, 2.0x). Is this representative of what the original hardware does? - Rainwarrior (talk) 23:14, 22 April 2016 (MDT)
