  <title>Adjust speed of the mouse and touchpad</title>

  
If your pointer moves too fast or slow when you move your mouse or use

  your touchpad, you can adjust the pointer speed for these devices.

  <steps>

    <item>

      
Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and

      start typing <gui>Mouse & Touchpad</gui>.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Click on <gui>Mouse & Touchpad</gui> to open the panel.

    </item>

    <item>

      
Adjust the <gui>Pointer Speed</gui> slider until the pointer motion

      is comfortable for you. You will see one slider per each pointing device,

      such as mouse or touchpad.

    </item>

  </steps>

  
You can set different pointer speed for each type of device. For example,

  you can have one scroll speed for a laptop touchpad and another for a mouse.

  Sometimes the most comfortable settings for one type of device are not the

  best for another.

  <note>

    
The <gui>Touchpad</gui> section only appears if your system has a

    touchpad, while the <gui>Mouse</gui> section is only visible when a mouse

    is plugged in.
