In this screen, users can adjust the Accelerated mode settings for
the mouse, and adjust the mappings of the mouse buttons for
right-handed or left-handed use.
- In the accelerated mode,
the distance on the screen moved by the pointer for a given movement of the
pointing device (e.g., the mouse) is increased by a factor
called the
Acceleration, which is set by the first slider control.
- The mouse will go into accelerated mode
if the pointer is made to make a rapid movement on the screen
larger than
the Threshold distance set with the second slider control.
This acceleration feature allows for slow,
precise pointer motion over small distances and rapid motion across
the screen with a short but quick motion of the mouse.
Large acceleration
values and small threshold values may make the pointer motion
too jerky
to be useful, as it will always move very quickly.
- The button mapping selection allows the functions of the right
and left mouse buttons to be swapped, for the convenience of left-handed
users.
