Turning off this feature can improve the pointer&#8217;s accuracy and let you place it exactly where you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">What is Mouse Acceleration?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The mouse-accelerating feature increases the pointer&#8217;s distance and speed on the screen in proportion to the mouse&#8217;s speed. If mouse acceleration is active and you move the mouse 6 cm, the pointer can travel from one side of the screen to the other. But if you move the mouse the same, but much slower, the pointer will only scroll half the screen.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is enabled by default to increase the accuracy of the pointer on Windows 10 devices. For many Windows users, especially gamers, enabling mouse acceleration can have the opposite effect, confusing users by reducing pointer accuracy. If you have ever encountered this or accidentally sat behind a system whose mouse pointer was challenging to control.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Disable Mouse Acceleration<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Type <strong>Mouse Settings<\/strong> in the Windows search bar, then click the result to turn on the acceleration feature.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13554 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/type-mouse-settings-in-windows-search-and-click-the-mouse-settings-option..png\" alt=\"Type Mouse Settings in the Windows search bar and click on the result to turn on the acceleration feature.\" width=\"427\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/type-mouse-settings-in-windows-search-and-click-the-mouse-settings-option..png 427w, https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/type-mouse-settings-in-windows-search-and-click-the-mouse-settings-option.-300x275.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The mouse settings window will open.
