Fine Tuning Your Mouse For Better Performance
Adjusting the speed of your mouse pointer and buttons can help with overall performance of your mouse.
In today’s Daily Tip, I will explain how to make a couple of simple adjustments that will give you better mouse performance.
Open your Mouse Properties in the Control Panel ( Start, Control Panel and then Mouse ).
Note: I currently use a Microsoft Laser Mouse 5000, so my Mouse Properties may differ from your current displayed Mouse Settings.
Under Buttons ( In my case the Double Click Speed Settings are located under Activities ) , you can adjust the double-click speed to your preference. Just slide the Speed setting left or right to adjust.
Note: Once you make your adjustment you can test your new settings by double clicking the folder located in the Test Area.
On the Pointer Options tab, under Motion , drag the slider to make the mouse faster or slower.
Note: Typically a Laser Mouse is more responsive than the typical Optical Mouse so therefore an Optical Mouse may need the pointer speed set a little faster to achieve the performance you’re looking for.
While you’re in Mouse Properties, look around at the other settings that might be available to personalize your mousing experience.
