<title>Adjust speed of the mouse and touchpad</title>
<p>If your pointer moves too fast or slow when you move your mouse
or use your touchpad, you can adjust the pointer sensitivity and
acceleration for these devices.</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select
<gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Open <gui>Mouse and Touchpad</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Under <gui>Pointer Speed</gui>, adjust the <gui>Acceleration</gui>
and <gui>Sensitivity</gui> sliders until the pointer motion is comfortable
for you.</p></item>
</steps>
<p>Sensitivity is how much your pointer initially moves when you move your mouse.</p>
<p>The farther you move your mouse, the faster and faster the pointer moves
relative to your movement. This helps you get the pointer across the screen
without lifting your hand, while still letting you point and click accurately.
Acceleration controls this behavior.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>You can set the sensitivity and acceleration differently for your mouse
and touchpad. Sometimes the most comfortable settings for one type of
device aren't the most comfortable for another. Just set the sliders on
both the <gui>Mouse</gui> and <gui>Touchpad</gui> tabs.</p>
