The first step in changing your mouse and touchpad settings in the control panel is to open the Control Panel in Windows. To do this, you can either search directly for “Control Panel” from the Start Menu, or you can use the Windows+R shortcut to open a Run dialog box and type “control” into the box. Either way, opening the Control Panel should bring you to the hardware and sound section.
Once you are in the hardware and sound section, you will find several options for adjusting your mouse and touchpad settings. Click on “Mouse” to access all of the mouse-specific settings. From here, you can adjust the pointer speed, double-click speed, and other settings related to your mouse.
If you’d like to change the way your cursor looks (for example, whether it’s an arrow, a hand, a pointer, etc.), click on the “Pointers” tab. Here, you can choose a new pointer and customize it with animations and colors if desired.
In order to change touchpad settings, click on the “Touchpad” option in the hardware and sound section of the Control Panel. This should bring you to a window with a variety of touchpad settings that you can adjust, such as enabling or disabling gestures, changing scrolling speed, and more.
Once you’ve made changes to the settings within the Control Panel, be sure to click “Apply” or “OK” to save them. After this, you should immediately be able to test out the touchpad and mouse settings to see if they suit your needs.
Changing mouse and touchpad settings in the Control Panel is easy! With these steps, you should be able to customize your devices to better suit your needs.
