A simple instruction for those who are angry with the mouse.
These settings affect the behavior of the mouse in the interface of the operating system and most programs. As for games, they mostly have their own settings available in the in-game menus.
If you have a non-standard mouse, for example a gaming mouse with many additional buttons, then you may need a separate program to configure it. Such software can usually be found on the disc that comes with the manipulator, or on the manufacturer's website. For ordinary mice, the following actions will be sufficient.
How to set up a mouse in Windows
Open "Control Panel". This section of settings can be found by right-clicking on the "Start" icon, or by searching through the system. In the panel that opens, click Hardware and Sound → Mouse. A window will appear on the screen with several tabs that contain different manipulator settings.
On the Pointer Options tab, you will find the cursor speed slider. Move the slider to the desired side and test the mouse in action.
The "Wheel" tab contains the parameters of the mouse wheel. On it, you can set the number of text lines by which the image is shifted vertically after one turn of the wheel. And also the number of characters by which the screen is shifted horizontally when the wheel is tilted to the side.
On the "Mouse Buttons" tab, you can change the button assignment so that the right one performs the actions assigned to the left by default, and vice versa. This can be useful if you are left-handed. Below is a slider for changing the double-click speed: it is better to lower it if folders do not always open after two clicks.
The "Pointers" tab is used to select the shape and size of the cursor. Using the Browse button, you can select one of the predefined or downloaded from the Web index types.
How to set up a mouse on macOS
Setting up your mouse is even easier on a Mac. Expand the Apple menu and go to System Preferences → Mouse. A window with the manipulator settings will appear.
In this section, you can adjust the speed of the cursor, scrolling the screen and double-click, as well as choose which of the mouse buttons will be the main one. Here you can also invert the direction of scrolling so that when you turn the wheel towards you, the images are lowered, if that's more convenient for you.
