Mouse Settings

Post by rodrigo_rmartins »

Hey... I'm new to Linux... sorry if the question is really stupid.

I installed Linux Mint and I just changed my mouse, but the sensitivity is very high. I'm trying to open the Mouse and Touchpad settings but it's not opening. I tried rebooting my pc and nothing.

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? I googled a lot and I couldn't find any answer to this issue.

Thank you,
Rodrigo.

As HELvdH has stated we need info off you with regards to the system and desktop you are using.
I will go on on a limb and assume you are using Cinnamon 20.2
To adjust the mouse sensitivity go to..
Menu-->preferences-->mouse and touchpad-->mouse tab-->pointer size and speed-->enable the Custom sensitivity slide then adjust the sensitivity on it
