Если текущая скорость перемещения указателя мыши или, иначе — чувствительность мыши в Windows отличается от удобной для вас, её можно настроить, используя встроенные параметры системы, а для некоторых устройств — сторонние программы.
В этой пошаговой инструкции для начинающих подробно о том, как настроить чувствительность мыши в Windows 11 и Windows 10 в Параметрах и Панели управления, а также кратко о фирменных утилитах от производителей, которые также позволяют уменьшить или увеличить её.
Как изменить чувствительность мыши в Параметрах
Первый способ настройки чувствительности мыши — использования интерфейса «Параметры». В Windows 11 шаги будут следующими:
- Откройте Параметры (можно нажать клавиши Win+I), а в них — раздел «Bluetooth и устройства».
- Откройте пункт «Мышь».
- Измените «Скорость указателя мыши», передвигая ползунок мышью. При желании ниже вы также можете изменить скорость прокрутки страниц колесиком.
В Windows 10 действия очень похожи:
- Откройте «Параметры» и перейдите в раздел «Устройства».
- В списке слева выберите пункт «Мышь».
- Измените значение «Скорость курсора», передвигая его вправо для увеличения скорости или влево для её уменьшения.
Настройка скорости указателя мыши в Панели управления
Второй способ — настройка чувствительности мыши в Панели управления:
- Откройте Панель управления. Для этого можно использовать поиск на панели задач. Подробнее: Как открыть панель управления Windows 11, Как открыть панель управления Windows 10.
- Убедитесь, что в поле «Просмотр» панели управления установлено «Значки» и откройте пункт «Мышь».
- В следующем окне перейдите на вкладку «Параметры указателя» и задайте скорость движения указателя — ниже или выше.
- Примените настройки
Выполняемые изменения применяются сразу, то есть после каждого изменения чувствительности, ещё до их применения, вы можете проверить, подходят ли они вам.
Программы с возможностью изменения чувствительности мыши
Описанные выше методы изменения чувствительности мыши — это всё, что может предложить Windows 11 и Windows 10, если говорить о встроенных средствах системы.
Однако, для многих «продвинутых» мышей, особенно игровых, производители выпускают собственные бесплатные программы для настройки, позволяющие настраивать чувствительность и другие параметры мыши, например:
- Logitech G Hub для игровых мышей Logitech, или Logitech Options для «обычных» мышек
- Razer Synapse
- SteelSeries Engine
- Corsair iCUE
- Центр управления мышью и клавиатурой для устройств Microsoft
Обычно такое ПО доступно на официальном сайте производителя вашей мыши в разделе «Поддержка», а в некоторых случаях скачивается и устанавливается Windows автоматически.
Все способы:
- Способ 1: Штатные «Параметры»
- Способ 2: «Панель управления»
- Способ 3: Кнопка DPI
- Способ 4: Сторонний софт
- Вопросы и ответы: 0
Способ 1: Штатные «Параметры»
Наиболее популярный способ у пользователей Windows 11 изменения чувствительности мыши – это возможности штатных «Параметров». Здесь располагаются все важные настройки, касающиеся указателя.
- Нажмите на кнопку «Пуск» и выберите значок в виде шестерни, чтобы запустить «Параметры».
- Переключитесь на вкладку «Bluetooth и устройства», затем выберите раздел «Мышь», располагающийся в центральной части окна.
- Далее с помощью ползунка можно выставить значение чувствительности мыши – его перетаскивание влево замедляет курсор, а вправо – увеличивает скорость. Настройки применяются мгновенно, то есть вы сразу поймете, достаточная ли чувствительность у указателя.
Еще в этом окне можно выставить значение для колесика мыши, а также здесь есть ряд дополнительных настроек, в том числе параметры прокрутки и указателя мыши (цвет, размер и другое).
Способ 2: «Панель управления»
В Windows 11 все еще есть классическая «Панель управления», которая в ранних выпусках операционной системы была основным инструментом для управления параметрами ОС и подключенного оборудования. Если по каким-то причинам способ с «Параметрами» не подходит, можете воспользоваться инструкцией ниже:
- С помощью строки системного поиска отыщите и запустите «Панель управления».
- Выберите отображение разделов как мелкие или крупные значки – это упростит переход к настройкам указывающего устройства, поскольку в окне отобразится пункт «Мышь».
- В открывшемся окне перейдите на вкладку «Параметры указателя», затем в блоке «Перемещение» настройте чувствительность мыши с помощью ползунка. Также доступен дополнительный параметр – «Включить повышенную точность установки указателя». Он задействует специальный режим, который увеличивает точность смещения курсора, особенно при его перемещении на незначительные расстояния.
- Чтобы проверить чувствительность мыши, нажмите на кнопку «Применить». Если настройка устраивает, тогда подтвердите ее, кликнув по «ОК».
В окне со свойствами мыши также доступно большое количество настроек, которое превышает на данный момент возможности «Параметров», в частности изменение поведения кнопок мыши, указателя, колесика и оборудования в целом.
Способ 3: Кнопка DPI
Некоторые современные компьютерные мыши оснащаются специальной кнопкой – DPI. Она может располагаться на верхней части корпуса (около колесика) или сбоку. Кнопка предназначается для регулировки чувствительности устройства. Как правило, нажатие на нее увеличивает скорость курсора, а чтобы его уменьшить, придется нажимать на нее столько раз, чтобы перешагнуть максимальную чувствительность.
Изучите свою мышь и проверьте, есть ли дополнительные кнопки на ней. Также подробную информацию можно найти на официальном сайте производителя, указав модель устройства, или в техническом паспорте, который обычно поставляется в комплекте.
Способ 4: Сторонний софт
Для настройки мыши применяются и программы как от сторонних разработчиков, так и от производителей периферийных устройств (обычно это игровые мыши). Как правило, через такой софт назначаются клавиши, устанавливаются драйверы и настраиваются другие параметры, в том числе чувствительность.
Например, у компании Logitech есть несколько фирменных утилит, с помощью которых настраивается скорость перемещения курсора и сам указатель с прокруткой. Для офисных это один софт.
Подробнее: Как настроить чувствительность мыши через Logitech SetPoint
Для игровых — другой.
Набор функций зависит от производителя. Например, в драйвере для мышек SteelSeries есть более гибкая настройка ускорения и замедления. Также у приложений для игровых девайсов есть настройка DPI, позволяющая настроить на кнопку, о которой шла речь в Способе 3, свои показатели и ускорять/замедлять ее так, как нужно вам.
Также можно воспользоваться сторонними решениями, например простой утилитой Mouse Speed Switcher, которая позволяет изменить скорость курсора, причем, если настраивать периферию на ноутбуке, изменить интересующий показатель можно только для мыши, а чувствительность тачпада останется неизменной. Кроме того, через программу можно создавать до 10 пресетов и быстро переключаться между ними в зависимости от выполняемой на компьютере работы.
Скачать Mouse Speed Switcher с официального сайта
- Нажмите на кнопку выше, чтобы перейти к скачиванию утилиты. Загрузите и инсталлируйте ее, следуя инструкциям пошагового мастера.
- Интерфейс утилиты состоит из одного основного окна. С помощью ползунка выберите значение для чувствительности («Slow» — низкая, «Fast» — высокая). Затем нажмите на «Apply» для применения, и, если все в порядке, то кнопку «ОК», чтобы сохранить настройки.
Чувствительность мыши можно задавать разную в отдельных пресетах или для различных указывающих устройств – главное указать их в соответствующих полях. Стоит отметить, что Mouse Speed Switcher платная (с триальным периодом), но при этом отличается удобством, простотой и нетребовательностью к ресурсам.

3. Visibility
The visibility of your mouse is how it’s shown on your screen. With Windows 11 improvements, you have a few exciting and easily adjustable options.
