Description

Specifies a mouse speed that triggers accelerated cursor movement. If, within the interval between mouse interrupts, the mouse moves by more than the number of pixels specified in the value of this entry, the system can accelerate the cursor. When accelerated, the cursor moves more than one pixel for each one-pixel movement of the mouse.

The amount of acceleration depends on the value of MouseSpeed . If the value of MouseSpeed is 1 or 2, cursor speed doubles when the mouse speed reaches MouseThreshold1 . If the value of MouseSpeed is 2, cursor speed quadruples when the mouse speed reaches MouseThreshold2.
