The Microsoft Adaptive Mouse lets you adjust how far the mouse cursor moves when you move your mouse. When you adjust this setting, you’re adjusting the DPI (dots per inch) of your mouse. The higher the DPI is, the faster your cursor moves across the screen.
Before you begin, you need to install the Microsoft Accessory Center.
