如何在Windows 11/10鼠标设置(Mouse Settings)
我们将探索的第一个鼠标设置是关于按钮的。在本节中，我将向您展示如何修改鼠标按钮的工作方式。以下是我们将在本节中探讨的鼠标按钮设置：
- 切换鼠标左右键的功能。
- 更改双击速度。
- 在不按住鼠标按钮的情况下选择或拖放项目。
在“鼠标属性(Mouse Properties )”窗口中，切换到“按钮”(Buttons )选项卡并继续阅读以了解如何进行上面列出的鼠标按钮修改。
1]切换(Switch)鼠标左右键的功能
鼠标左键主要用于在Windows系统中选择项目。单击一次选择项目，然后双击将其打开。鼠标右键会调出所选或单击项目的上下文菜单。
要将鼠标左键的功能归因于鼠标右键(left mouse button’s functions to the right mouse button)，反之亦然，请 按照上述步骤导航到“鼠标属性”窗口。(Mouse Properties)
在Buttons选项卡中，转到 Button 配置(Button configuration)区域，然后选中Switch primary and secondary buttons复选框。点击 OK按钮保存修改。
2]更改双击速度
双击计算机上的某个项目将其打开。这适用于快捷方式、文件夹、文件等。Windows(Windows)中默认的双击速度是 半秒 (half a second )（500 毫秒）((500 ms))(half a second (500 ms))。
如果这对您来说太快或太慢，您还可以从“ 鼠标属性 (Mouse Properties )”屏幕修改速度。在这里，进入 双击速度 (Double-click speed )区域并拖动滑块来调整双击速度。
3]在不按住鼠标按钮的情况下选择(Select)或拖放项目
要选择或拖放图标(drag-and-drop icons)和其他项目，您需要按住鼠标左键。如果这太不方便了，有一个更好的方法可以使用ClickLock功能。
使用ClickLock，您只需单击项目并按住几秒钟。在此之后，您可以放开该项目并选择更多或拖动该项目。
要启用 ClickLock(enable ClickLock) ，请按照上述指南 导航到 鼠标属性窗口并选中(Mouse Properties)打开 ClickLock(Turn on ClickLock)复选框。
要减少或增加按住单击的时间，请单击“设置”(Settings)按钮，然后将滑块向左（降低速度）或向右（提高速度）移动。
点击 OK按钮保存ClickLock设置，然后点击 OK按钮保存并退出 鼠标属性(Mouse Properties)窗口。
更改(Change)鼠标指针的工作方式和外观
鼠标指针是计算机的主要指向功能，您可能希望自定义其外观或功能。我们将在本节中探索以下设置：
- 更改鼠标指针的外观。
- 调整鼠标指针的速度和精度。
- 显示鼠标指针轨迹。
- 键入时隐藏鼠标指针
按照上述步骤导航到鼠标属性窗口。(Mouse Properties)在这里，切换到指针(Pointers)选项卡并使用下面的指南来调整鼠标指针。
1]更改(Change)鼠标指针的外观
要更改指针的外观，请查看方案(Scheme)下拉列表并选择一个新的。我们发布了有关更改鼠标和指针配色方案的详细指南。
如果您希望更改特定方案中指针的外观，请选择一个方案并从“自定义(Customize)”下的列表中选择要修改的图形，点击“ 浏览(Browse)”并选择一个。
单击 确定(OK)按钮以保存您的更改。
2]调整(Adjust)鼠标指针的速度和精度
导航到 鼠标(Mouse)属性(Properties)窗口中的指针选项选项(Pointer Options)卡。您可以通过向右或向左拖动滑块来增加运动(Motion)区域中的鼠标指针速度。左(Left)降低速度，右提高速度。
如果指针速度太快或太慢，可能很难准确地指向项目。标记(Mark)增强指针精度 (Enhance pointer precision )复选框以提高指针的准确性。
要更快地执行鼠标指针操作，请转到“ 对齐” (Snap To )区域并选中“ 自动将指针移动到对话框中的默认按钮”旁边的复选框(Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box)。
3]显示鼠标指针轨迹
您可能会遇到鼠标指针移动缓慢(mouse pointer moves erratically slowly)的问题。此外，当您移动指针时，指针可能太快且难以定位。在这些情况下，箭头后面有一条小径会有所帮助。
选中显示指针轨迹(Display pointer trails )复选框，该复选框仍在鼠标(Mouse)属性(Properties)窗口的指针选项选项(Pointer Options)卡下。
最后，点击确定(OK)按钮完成。您可能还想调整指针轨迹的长度。通过将滑块拖向 long或 short来执行此操作。
4]键入时隐藏(Hide)鼠标指针
鼠标指针可能会阻碍您的输入并阻止某些文本。如果您在 PC 上键入很多内容，则可以从“ 指针选项(Pointer Options)”选项卡中隐藏指针。在“可见性(Visibility)”部分，单击“键入时隐藏指针(Hide pointer while typing)”复选框， 然后 单击“确定(OK)” 。
如果您忘记了指针所在的位置，您始终可以通过按 CTRL键找到它。为此，您必须首先启用 当我按下 CTRL 键(Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key)选项时显示指针位置。

更改鼠标滚轮的工作方式
鼠标滚轮的主要功能是在 PC 上上下滚动页面。它也可用作第三个鼠标按钮，但我们将在此重点介绍滚动功能。
以下是我将向您展示的内容：
- 调整每个垂直滚动的行数。
- 调整每个水平滚动的字符数。
与上述部分类似，您可以在“ 鼠标属性(Mouse Properties)”屏幕上找到鼠标滚轮设置，方法是转到“ 控制面板(Control Panel)”并搜索“ 鼠标”( Mouse)。单击“ 轮 (Wheel )”选项卡并按照以下指南进行操作。
1]调整(Adjust)每次垂直滚动的行数
在 滚轮(Wheel)选项卡上，您会找到 垂直滚动(Vertical Scrolling)设置。您可以将滚轮设置为每行滚动，也可以通过一次滚动进入下一个屏幕。
要按行滚动，请单击“垂直滚动(Vertical Scrolling)”下的第一个选项并选择行数。

To modify how the mouse or touchpad works, you start bу openіng the Control Panel. The quickest way to get there is by pressing the Windows key and searching for Control Panel in the Start menu. Click on Control Panel from the results to launch it.
In the Control Panel applet, search for mouse in the box in the top right-hand corner of your screen and click on Mouse from the results. This takes you to the Mouse Properties window, where you make all the settings.
How to change Mouse Settings in Windows 11/10
The first mouse settings we’ll explore are regarding the buttons. In this section, I’ll show you how to modify the way the mouse buttons work. Below are the mouse button settings we’ll explore in this section:
- Switch the functionalities of the left and right mouse buttons.
- Change the double-click speed.
- Select or drag-and-drop items without holding the mouse button.
In the Mouse Properties window, switch to the Buttons tab and continue reading to learn how to go about the mouse button modifications listed above.
1] Switch the functionalities of the left and right mouse buttons
The left mouse button is primarily used to select items in the Windows system. Clicking once picks the item, and double-clicking opens it. The right mouse button brings up the context menu for items selected or clicked.
To attribute the left mouse button’s functions to the right mouse button and vice versa, navigate to the Mouse Properties window following the above steps.
In the Buttons tab, go to the Button configuration area, and mark the Switch primary and secondary buttons checkbox. Hit the OK button to save the modification.
2] Change the double-click speed
Double-clicking on an item on your computer opens it up. This applies to shortcuts, folders, files, etc. The default double-click speed in Windows is half a second (500 ms).
If this is too quick or slow for you, you can also modify the speed from the Mouse Properties screen. Here, go to the Double-click speed area and drag the slider to adjust the double-click speed.
3] Select or drag-and-drop items without holding the mouse button
To select or drag-and-drop icons and other items, you need to hold down the left mouse button. If that’s too much of an inconvenience, there’s a better way to do it using the ClickLock function.
With ClickLock, you only have to click the item(s) and hold it down for a few seconds. After this, you can let go of the item and select more or drag the item.
To enable ClickLock, navigate to the Mouse Properties window following the above guide and mark the Turn on ClickLock checkbox.
To reduce or increase the time you hold down the click, click on the Settings button, and move the slider to the left (reduce the speed) or right (increase the speed).
Hit the OK button to save the ClickLock settings, and click on the OK button to save and exit the Mouse Properties window.
Change how the mouse pointer works & looks
The mouse pointer is the primary pointing feature of your computer, and you may want to customize its looks or functionalities. We’ll explore the following settings in this section:
- Change the mouse pointer’s appearance.
- Adjust the speed and precision of the mouse pointer.
- Show mouse pointer trails.
- Hide the mouse pointer when typing
Navigate to the Mouse Properties window by following the steps above. Here, switch to the Pointers tab and use the guides below to tweak your mouse pointer.
1] Change the mouse pointer’s appearance
To change the look of the pointers, look through the Scheme dropdown list and pick a new one. We published a detailed guide on changing the mouse and pointer color scheme.
If you wish to change the look of the pointer in a specific scheme, select a scheme and select a figure you want to modify from the list under Customize, hit Browse and pick one.
Click on the OK button to save your changes.
2] Adjust the speed and precision of the mouse pointer
Navigate to the Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties window. You can increase the mouse pointer speed in the Motion area by dragging the slider to the right or left. Left reduces the speed and right increases it.
If the pointer speed is too fast or slow, it may be tough to point at items accurately. Mark the Enhance pointer precision checkbox to improve the pointer’s accuracy.
For even quicker mouse pointer action, go to the Snap To area and select the checkbox beside Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box.
3] Show mouse pointer trails
You may experience the issue where your mouse pointer moves erratically slowly. Also, the pointer may be too fast and hard to locate when you move it. Having a trail behind the arrow helps in these situations.
Check the Display pointer trails checkbox, which is still under the Pointer Options tab of the Mouse Properties window.
Finally, Click on the OK button to finish. You may also want to adjust the length of the pointer trails. Do this by dragging the slider towards long or short.
4] Hide the mouse pointer when typing
The mouse pointer can obstruct your typing and block some texts. If you type a lot on your PC, you can hide the pointer from the Pointer Options tab. In the Visibility section, click on the checkbox for Hide pointer while typing and hit OK.
If you lose track of where your pointer is, you can always find it by pressing the CTRL key. For this, you must first enable the Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key option.

Change how the mouse wheel works
The main function of the mouse wheel is to scroll up and down a page on your PC. It also acts as a third mouse button, but we’ll focus on the scrolling function here.
Here’s what I’ll show you:
- Adjust the number of lines per vertical scroll.
- Adjust the number of characters per horizontal scroll.
Similar to the above sections, you can find the mouse wheel settings on the Mouse Properties screen by going to Control Panel and searching for Mouse. Click on the Wheel tab and follow the guides below.
1] Adjust the number of lines per vertical scroll
On the Wheel tab, you’ll find the Vertical Scrolling settings. You can either set the wheel to scroll per line or go to the next screen with one scroll.
To scroll per line, click on the first option under Vertical Scrolling and select the number of lines.

2] Adjust the number of characters per horizontal scroll
Horizontal scrolling moves the cursor across characters on your screen, and it’s especially useful when you type. If your mouse doesn’t support horizontal scrolling, but you need this feature, here’s how to change the mouse wheel from scrolling vertically to horizontally.
Below the Vertical Scrolling settings is that for Horizontal Scrolling. It’s set to 3 characters by default, but you can change it to any number you want.
