![]() Mice actually output something called a ‘count’. This is misnomer, but it sorta makes sense. Often mouse ‘speed’ or ‘precision’ (ugh!) is reported in a measurement called “DPI”. To understand why we need to change the mouse instead, you need some more information… DPI? NO! Cpi. IDEALLY we want to change how the mouse reports movement. With this direct correlation between mouse movement and cursor movement, we can adjust either variable to yield a new relationship between the mouse moving and the cursor moving. ![]() This leaves us with a reliable mapping of mouse-output to cursor-behaviour. The primary variable to eliminate is the speed of the mouse movement. In order for a direct mapping of cursor behaviour to happen across systems, then we need to eliminate variables. With accelerated mouse movement, this entire post is worthless. The physical distance the mouse moves translates to an exact number of on-screen pixels that the cursor moves. Ratio control - (often called 1:1, but it can be any other ratio).Accelerated control - the speed of the mouse controls the movement of the cursor. ![]() I GOT IT! So what is the actual problem?.This is a wall-of-text with minimal pictures, but it’s worth reading if you care about your computer workflow. I’ve written a little calculator to help you translate your mouse cursor movement between devices and I explain how/why it works. This really annoys me, and maybe it annoys you. Do you have multiple computers, and use multiple mice? Then surely you’ve experienced the frustration of moving between the computers and the cursor movement feeling different.
