2. Configuring the mouse

User's are able to set the following parameters for the bell:

For threshold gives the distance the pointer must move (in a small amount of time) before accelerated movement occurs. In this mode, the pointer moves some factor faster than normal, relative to the amount the user actually moves the pointing device. The factor is the accelerated movement rate. These settings allow for slow, precise pointer motion over small distances and rapid motion across the screen with a short but quick motion. Large acceleration values and small threshold values may make the pointer too jumpy to be useful, as it will always move very quickly.

The button mapping will, if switched to left-handed, swap the meaning of the mouse buttons.
