Click Pointer Options . This tab displays at the top of the Mouse window.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/31/Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-6-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Change-the- Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-6-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/31/Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-6- Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-6-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Adjust the speed of the pointer. In the “Motion” section near the top of the window, you’ll click and drag the slider left to slow down your mouse, or right to speed it up.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/11/Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-7-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Change-the- Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-7-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/11/Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-7- Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-7-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Disable pointer precision to reduce mouse speed. If you feel the mouse is moving too fast, uncheck the “Enhance pointer precision” box below the “Motion” slider. This setting causes the pointer to move to different lengths depending on how you move the mouse or operate on the trackpad; so disabling will prevent the cursor from running too fast even if you suddenly change the way you move the mouse.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/50/Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-8-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Change-the- Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-8-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/50/Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-8- Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Change-the-Mouse-Sensitivity-Step-8-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check the cursor movement speed. You need to move the mouse and observe the speed of the pointer. If the pointer moves too fast, you will slow down on the “Motion” slider. Conversely, increase the speed on the “Motion” slider if the cursor moves too slowly. [2] X Research Source
- It may take you a few minutes to set the right speed for your computer mouse.

Check the mouse’s response. You need to move the mouse around the screen. If the cursor moves too fast, you will drag the “Tracking speed” slider to the left, and vice versa, drag to the right.

Advice
- If you want to adjust the DPI (dots per inch) setting of a gaming mouse, you usually have to do this in the mouse’s spec settings. Please check the user manual for specific operation. Some gaming mice also have physical buttons that you can press to increase or decrease the DPI.
- If you’re still having trouble with the mouse after adjusting the sensitivity, it’s probably because the underside of the mouse is dirty. You can fix this problem by cleaning the mouse.
Warning
- Using the mouse on a glass, mirror, or uneven surface will cause you to have trouble moving the mouse.
