Mouse Speed

Auto mouse speed

Use this option if the mouse settings on the host use an additional acceleration setting. The B050-000 tries to detect the acceleration and speed of the mouse during the mouse sync process.

Fixed mouse speed

Use a direct translation of mouse movements between the local and the remote pointer.

You may also set a fixed scaling which determines the amount the remote mouse pointer is moved when the local mouse pointer is moved by one pixel. This option only works when the mouse settings on the host are linear. This means that there is no mouse acceleration involved.

To set the options click on the button “Apply”.
