I am just thinking that it could act like the keyboard does, a key press
when pressed, then a timeout, then repeat the holded key. Will see if we
can apply to a Hat, like:
a motion of 1 pixel when pushed, then a configurable timeout,say one or
two seconds,  then repeated motions of 1 pixel at a configurable
interval.
