It's worth pointing out that Microsoft will be adding a slew of new options for precision touchpads, and the Mouse & touchpad will split into two sections.

Often, these other options are only configurable through software only available through your mouse manufacturer. Keep in mind that these are basic settings, and while they apply to most devices, there are a lot of mice and touchpad in the market that offer additional functionalities. You can also enhance the functionality of this feature by turning on the "Hold down Ctrl to speed up and Shift to slow down" and "Use mouse keys when Num Lock is on" options. You can also click the Settings button to select how long you have to hold down the mouse before the click is locked and you can move the window to any location.Īnd under Mouse keys, you can also turn your numeric keypad into a mouse by enabling the "Use numeric keypad to move the mouse around the screen" option. When enabled, you can simply click on an element briefly and drag, and to release click the mouse button again. Under Double-click speeds, you can change the speed when you double-click anything on the screen.ĬlickLock is an interesting option that allows you to drag and drop without having to hold down the mouse button. Under Button configuration, the option Switch primary and secondary button is the same option found in the Settings app to configure the mouse for a left-handed person.

On the Buttons tab, you'll find a number of options.

If you want to customize your mouse pointer size, style, and other advanced settings, you'll have to click the Additional mouse options link to open the Mouse Properties from Control Panel. You can change this setting to No delay (always on), Short delay, Medium delay, or Long delay. If you're using a laptop, you will also get a section to change the touchpad settings on this page, which only includes an option to prevent the pointer from accidentally moving as you type.
