How To Make Mouse Speed Faster

[Rachelle Kun]

Ive got a notebook with 4k display. Unfortunately, now it takes at least two full diagonals on the trackpoint to move the mouse from one corner of the screen to the other diagonal. I already set the mouse courser speed to the highest value, but it is by far not enough. Is there any way to increase the mouse speed or modify the maximum value in the mouse dialoge. It is a Lenovo X1 Yoga.

Open registry editor. Then find the registry key HKCU\Control Panel\Mouse. Now set MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2 values to 0. Then set MouseSpeed to 2 (Quadraple current speed) or 1 (Double current speed). MouseSpeed value can't be more than 2. Then reboot. Mouse will now be more faster.

I went to registry editor as suggested on the most voted answer, except for the part "MouseSpeed value can't be more than 2", the default was already "3" on mine. Changed it to 10 and it feels a little better than before, nothing broke.

In the Mouse preferences dialog I've set the acceleration to max and the sensitivity to min and the mouse pointer is not exactly sluggish, but I'd like to make it even faster. Is it possible to be done by setting some value in the procfs or something?

The first number is the acceleration, the second is threshold. So, in the example I provided, the mouse will go 2X as fast once it's traveled 1px across the screen. Zero has some special connotations, so I'd stick with 1.

I guess it depends on the mouses DPI.The Steelseries Sensei has the most DPI: 16000 DPI.A higher DPI is always better once you know it, but it isn't really that fast when you have one or more 4k monitors.

After that, I needed to start it with sudo solaar because otherwise my mouse was not detected. Finally, I just increased the Sensitivity settings in the GUI and had a much faster mouse speed than with the system settings limit.Probably not the best way to do it, but it worked for me.

I increased the mouse speed, but it is choppy and I would like to go back to having MacOS manage the speed. I've tried the button "Reset ALL settings", but things didn't improve. I also tried to look for other discussions on the topic here, but didn't find advice that helped with the issue.

I hope this is clearer. I'm might be wrong with my assessment, but I definitely see BTT having an impact on speed above the fastest system speed. When that happens, the mouse scrolling becomes choppy and harder to use.

thank you. I just did that: "BTT" speed = 0 and "System" tracking speed = fastest and the mouse has slowed down to a crawl. It seems like BTT is still impacting the "system" mouse speed.

Is there any way to reset that coupling?

the maximum available speed for mouse is not very comfortable. i want to increase it.. how to do that?? is there an app to customize these sort of stuffs (preferable since I am new to ubuntu).thanks in advance

The last number (0.1) is the important value. The smaller the number the faster your cursor moves (default value is 1.0). Play around with the values till you find one that works for you and then add the command to the startup applications GUI.

Hey guys. I have my tracking speed completely turned but, but I would like for it to move much faster. Is there anything I can do to speed it up other than download third-party software? Thanks in advance!

Yeah that works sometimes, but not in this instance. I am also having the same issues, my mouse's sensitivity is fine everywhere but in the drawing space. the toolbars, the desktop, other applications and software its fine. in the drawing space in ACAD Arch, insanely sensitive. some of the other ideas in here seem to have made it somewhat more bearable, but still not correct. this is an insanely annoying side effect that has inhibited my productivity immensely.

Just curious, do you have a double-resolution / Retina display where the pixel count is doubled in the same area from a traditional display (e.g. a 3840x2160 resolution appears as 1920x1080)? AutoCAD has had a lot of problems with those displays in the past, although from what I understand the newer releases supposedly address many of those issues.

It certainly seems like that is what's going on. AutoCAD thinks the resolution in the drawing area is double what you actually see, meaning the cursor would move twice as fast.

So it turned out being a problem with the remote connection, and i believe it was because of the resolution. I was running at one resolution on my desktop at work and a different one at home on my laptop/monitor. Sorry it took me so long to respond and thank you for the information.

To adjust your mouse speed in Windows, you can follow these steps: Windows Settings: Click on the "Start" button (Windows icon) in the bottom left corner of your screen. Select "Settings" (the gear-shaped icon). Devices: In the Settings window, click on "Devices." Mouse Settings: In the Devices window, select "Mouse" from the left-hand menu. Adjust Pointer Speed: Under the "Mouse pointer speed" section, you will find a slider that allows you to adjust the speed. Move the slider to the left to decrease the mouse pointer speed, making it slower. Move the slider to the right to increase the mouse pointer speed, making it faster. Additional Mouse Options: For more advanced settings, click on "Additional mouse options" under the Related settings section. Pointer Options Tab: In the Mouse Properties window, go to the "Pointer Options" tab. You can further fine-tune your mouse speed by adjusting the "Select a pointer speed" slider. You can also choose to enhance pointer precision, which makes the mouse move more accurately across the screen. Apply and Save: After adjusting the mouse speed to your preference, click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes. Your mouse speed should now be adjusted according to your preferences. You can revisit these settings anytime to make further adjustments.

I am using a MacBook Air 11" 2011 Model with Mac OS X Lion hooked up with a Cinema Display 27" and I am getting two different mouse tracking speeds (I am using a Apple Magic Mouse) when I move between the two screens in a two screen setup.

2023 update: linearmouse might be able to help. It can already change mouse speed and acceleration for different applications. This helps if for example, you have a full-screen application on your second monitor. But they're also working on per-screen settings. Per screen settings feature may be coming soon.

many years ago as i was doing setups for many userids i run, i adjusted the mouse speed higher on 3 users i expected to be working mostly with the mouse. i was going to make all users be the same once i found the right speed for me. for various reasons i never did that. i have since forgotten how i did that.

1, i want to know how to change mouse speed (and other settings). i did a duckduckgo search and it seems the popular way involves the xinput command. i know for sure that i did not use xinput to set the mouse speed before because i first used it just a few months ago and i do remember whether i have done things that way when i see how, again. i am confident it was a GUI setting, but i cannot find

i can't find a way to get to Settings Manager > Personal Section. i cannot find any "Settings Manager" but i find "Settings" in Whisker menu. in there is no "Personal Section" so that may be the wrong place. or this is a Mint thing i don't have.

and tried running that. it popped up a little menu. it did have Acceleration and Sensitivity but they were not having any effect i could see. i did go into the "theme" tab and was able to make my pointer red and a bit larger (32). that worked although nothing was saved anywhere in the user's home directory for anything i set.

My apology for having misled you ... Sorry ... The "xfce4-settings-manager" can be called up from anywhere (terminal / panel-button / whisker menu) -- this isn't a "mint" thing afaik. Whisker's launch-button can be configuren with a whole bunch of mini-buttons that call up any command you chose, or you can just activity (on/off) any of the pre-configured mini-buttons. On my systems, the "Settings Manager" button is set to ON -- your whisker's button may be configured differently; idk.

Anyways, the settings' main window title is called "Settings". Contrary to what i said above, the mouse & keyboard settings seem to be located in that window's "Hardware" section -- but that could have been changed by your distro. The mouse & keyboard settings popup has a drop-down list of devices in its "Devices" tab; did you select your mouse from that list? Adjusting the acceleartion sure works just fine on my system(s). Note: make sure that you have the correct driver for your mouse configured (ie for logitech's wireless combo).

Remember to edit the subject of your topic to include the [SOLVED] tag once you're satisfied with the answers or have found a solution (in which case, don't forget to share it as well), so that other members of the community can quickly refer to it and save their time. Pretty please!

yeah, i did find the command. but i am very sure the first time was a GUI way to get there without having to configure it. but now that i know the command, i am set. i mostly use a bash shell command line, so a command is fine for me.

now, i am looking for which file these mouse settings get saved in, so i know what to copy when i upgrade to Xubuntu 22.04 LTS on a new laptop. so far all i did was change the theme for the mouse and nothing is changed in the user home directory.

the mentioned driver. is that for just configuring or also for using? the mouse works. it just moves the pointer slower. i just want to have it ove faster. one of my many users does. i just forget which one. the settings i get from that command don't do it.
