Changing the mouse settings is not a thing most people are interested in doing at all. For those who want to traverse down this road, we can say for certain that several tools are out on the web designed for this purpose. WinMouse lets you quickly change and manage Mouse settings on your Windows 11 and Windows 10 PC. You can easily change cursor speed, enable acceleration, Sonar function, change the speed and size of the double-click area, change the number of lines to scroll after turning the mouse wheel, swap the primary and secondary mouse buttons, etc.
Change Mouse settings with WinMouse
WinMouse is a cool little program that is easy to use and doesn’t go out of its way to give us features we do not need. The user interface is bland, but that shouldn’t be a huge issue because you won’t look at it daily.
Yes, we know Windows has its settings for the mouse, but from our point of view, WinMouse is the better option, especially for those who deep themselves as advanced users. Furthermore, this tool allows for changing the mouse settings much faster than what Microsoft offers, so that’s nice.
Let’s discuss this in more detail
1] ScreenWrap
OK, so the first thing users will encounter is the ScreenWrap feature. When it is activated, users can move the cursor without it being blocked by borders. So, for example, when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen, it will appear at the top. The same goes if it drifts to the left; it will appear on the right.
A useful feature, but a problem if your taskbar goes hidden automatically because there is no way to use the cursor to make the taskbar reappear again.
The good news is, we can easily make some changes to ScreenWrap. OK, so when it is activated, you can select when to use the feature after pressing a particular button. With this on, ScreenWrap does not work automatically.
Interestingly, this can be done for both straight and diagonal lines, so choose which one you want to run automatically.
2] Pointer Options
This section comes with a few features we like, but don’t expect to change the design of your pointer. From here, the user can change the speed of the pointer, enable mouse trails, sonar, and automatically snap the pointer to the default button on a dialog box.
3] Wheel
Next, we want to look at the tab with everything to do with the scroll wheel on your mouse. From here, the user can change settings about vertical and horizontal scrolling. It’s nothing impressive really, but for those who want to, they can.
When it comes to the mouse buttons, ScreenWrap offers more options than the Wheel tab. The user can change the double-click speed and the size of the double-click area.
Additionally, folks can switch primary and secondary buttons, which means the left-click becomes the right-click and vice versa.
4] Statistics
The Stats tab is the best place to find out how many times the left-click and right-click buttons have been clicked during a session. It also shows the distance traveled by the mouse cursor.
For those who feel the need, the option is to reset the counter for the session and begin from scratch. Another way to reset everything is to close the tool and start it up again.
Download the tool from the official website.
