Lazy Mouse
From ZBrush Info
The Lazy Mouse gives the artist more control over their brush stroke. It allows the artist to work with a greater degree of refinement than by hand alone. Using the Lazy Mouse artists can create very precise and controlled brush strokes with ease!
When using lazy mouse, you are effectively dragging the paint cursor behind the mouse cursor, with a piece of digital string (shown in red) connecting the two. Jitter in the mouse cursor will be greatly reduced at the other end of the string, and the line of the string indicates exactly the direction the paint cursor will travel in.

Lazy Mouse Controls
LazyMouse: When LazyMouse is on, drawing will take place not under the mouse cursor, but under a brush point that is being 'dragged behind' the mouse cursor by a virtual string (shown onscreen as a red line.) This allows for very precise control of the brush point, and is ideal for drawing smooth, predictable curves, or any sort of detail work.
LazyRadius: When the LazyMouse feature is on, LazyRadius sets the length of the 'string' connecting the mouse cursor to the drawing point. The longer the string, the more precise the stroke, but the further you'll have to move your hand to make it.
LazyStep: Allows lazy mousing to be applied in discrete steps. As you pull the brush around, the brush effect will be applied at intervals determined by LazyStep.
LazySmooth: Makes the lazy mouse effect stronger or weaker.
