Cursor Behavior (How to adjust the Cursor Speed?)

This slider controls the speed of the cursor: it determines how far the pointer moves on the computer in response to how far you move the mouse. By default, Attraction Effect is selected, but you can modify this setting to your own liking.

To automatically adjust the cursor speed, please select between the following radio buttons:

1. Slow/Attract (Attraction Effect, Deceleration Sensation): Cursor will move slower if Pixel of interest are detected.
2. Normal (Normal Effect, No sensation): Cursor speed is reseted to default value (10).
3. Fast/Repel (Repulsion Effect, Acceleration Sensation): Cursor will move faster if Pixel of interest are detected.

Helpful Tips:

- For Novint Falcon owners, you can press Top Button to switch between primary effects (Attraction, Normal or Repulsion). See Novint Falcon Options for more information.

- If you wish to optimize the advanced sliders so that the sensations match the image, proceed to the Modify Speed Settings and Motion Settings page in the troubleshooting section.

Multiple users on the same desktop with MouseMux (Third party software)

Our goal is to make working together as intuitive and simple as possible. Just add some extra mice and (optionally) keyboards and MouseMux will transform your PC into a multi-user system. The program will allow each independent user to type in different windows, drag or resize windows, and even allow fully simultaneous program interaction - all at the same time on the same windows desktop.

Pair up with another coder, designer or teammate on your machine. Each gets their own mouse pointer and can simultaneously work on the same Windows desktop. Collaboration was never so easy.

Use it for pair programming, collaborative designing, in the class or meeting room (so all can interact and have a presence on the screen). Join forces on editing documents, or in the control room so each operator can see where the others are.

Concurrently interacting with different apps on the same desktop creates new and interesting ways to work together; colleborate by taking over certain actions, type together, draw together - all at the same time without interfering each other.

Multiple Mice and individual settings with EitherMouse (Third party software)

Instantly changes settings when any mouse is used (swap buttons, mirror cursor, adjust speeds and more...)

Leave multiple mice on a pc and automatically swap buttons on each mouse. Have a left-handed and a right-handed mouse always connected and ready to use.

Match speeds across different mice, ie touchpad and mouse with different speeds. Accommodate left and right handed users easily on multi-user or public workstations.

Helps prevent RSI/injury issues by allowing seemless switching between hands. Quickly change mouse settings from system tray if only one mouse is used

X-Mouse Button Control (Third party software)

XMouse Button Control (XMBC) allows you to create application and window specific profiles. This in turn, allows you to re-configure your mouse behaviour for individual applications or windows. For each profile you can also configure up to 5 'layers' of different button configurations which you can switch between using hot-keys or mouse buttons.

By default, profiles are automatically activated as the mouse moves over the defined window or application. This has many uses, for example:

. Changing the behaviour of the mouse over certain windows, such as making the mouse wheel change volume when hovering over the system tray or you-tube video.

. In games which do not natively support the extended, 4th and 5th mouse buttons, you can map keys to each button.
