I don't know why this is still being brought up.  It's more 
intuative to have to push down for larger movements since you are 
turning harder.  Try doing fine adjustments while pushing down.  
What I like to do is run my finger along the top corner for the 
small movements.  It moves quite fast.  It's really not that 
difficult and don't know why it's an issue.  JMO.
