Apple 145 manual Adjusting the way the trackball or mouse works

Adjusting the way the trackball or mouse works

You can adjust two aspects of trackball or mouse operation in the Mouse control panel: tracking, which is the relation between trackball or mouse movement and pointer movement on the screen, and double-clicking speed.

1.Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and open the Mouse control panel.

2.Click the tracking speed you want.

The Very Slow option is useful for drawing or for a graphics tablet because the pointer moves at a constant speed relative to trackball or mouse movement.

3.Click the double-clicking speed you want.

Adjust the double-clicking speed if your computer often interprets two clicks as a double click, or a double click as two single clicks.

The space between arrows corresponds to the time between clicks.

Mouse button highlights twice at the interval selected.

4. Close the control panel.
