===Mouse Sensitivity===

You can change the sensor sensitivity of our Logitech mice to change how fast the pointer moves across the screen with every inch traveled. This is measured in dots per inch (DPI).
 +
Press the DPI button below the scroll wheel to cycle through presets. A notification will pop up on screen telling you the current DPI level. Warning: notification may be delayed if you press the button multiple times!

 +
Note: this is completely independent from the pointer speed setting in Windows Settings. That slider should ALWAYS be set to 6 (the middle position), as any other value may introduce pointer acceleration, which is almost never wanted. "Enhance pointer precision" should be off for the same reason.

Mouse Sensitivity

You can change the sensor sensitivity of our Logitech mice to change how fast the pointer moves across the screen with every inch traveled. This is measured in dots per inch (DPI). Press the DPI button below the scroll wheel to cycle through presets. A notification will pop up on screen telling you the current DPI level. Warning: notification may be delayed if you press the button multiple times!

If you want to set the mouse sensitivity at a custom DPI value, or if you wish to prevent participants from changing the sensitivity (accidentally or otherwise), please contact the TSG.

Note: this is completely independent from the pointer speed setting in Windows Settings. That slider should ALWAYS be set to 6 (the middle position), as any other value may introduce pointer acceleration, which is almost never wanted. "Enhance pointer precision" should be off for the same reason.
