First, open the app by <strong>searching for it in the search bar<\/strong>. From here, type <strong>Mouse Speed<\/strong> in the search bar of the Control Panel. An option for changing the mouse pointer\u2019s display or speed should appear; click on that and <strong>adjust the slider to your preference<\/strong>. There are all sorts of other neat options here too, like showing you the location of the pointer when you press the CTRL key and hiding the pointer while typing.<\/p>\n<h2>Change Your Mouse Speed Through Settings<\/h2>\n<p>To adjust your mouse\u2019s settings, first open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> app. From here, click on <strong>Mouse<\/strong> in the left-hand column. You should then see an option for something like <strong>Mouse Speed<\/strong> or <strong>Cursor Speed<\/strong>. Adjust the speed to your liking by using the slider.<\/p>\n<p>While we think that adjusting a mouse speed or sensitivity is easy and harmless enough, if you plan on making more dramatic adjustments to your organization\u2019s settings, we recommend you contact your IT administrator before doing so. This will ensure that you don\u2019t make any adjustments that could create problems for your business.<\/p>\n<p>What are some other tips you\u2019d like to see in the future?
