Mighty mouse

Some years ago, a motor mechanic gave me a simple car tune-up tip - just fit a weaker accelerator pedal return spring. The subjective result is that the car’s throttle response is markedly improved, so the car feels nippier.

As with cars, so with computers - when did you last check your mouse response? When setting a PC up initially, most of us will feel more comfortable with conservative mouse settings. But after you’ve used your PC for a while, why not try increasing the mouse speed and acceleration parameters? Just tweaking them a little will result in less wrist movement and a PC that feels more responsive.

Thanks for an entertaining and informative magazine, keep up the good work!
