I want to slow down my mouse.

This section explains how to adjust the mouse speed to make it easier for you to use.
Many people think they cannot use a computer because they cannot use a mouse. For many the cause of difficulty is the speed the pointer travels on the screen when the mouse is moved. This speed can easily be reduced and suddenly the mouse is often far more manageable. This section shows you how to slow down your mouse.
