Windows mouse registry settings

This post explains how to change Mouse Keys speed or acceleration in Windows 11. Both speed and acceleration play an important role in controlling how the pointer moves on screen while using the Mouse Keys feature to perform basic mouse functions. Speed determines how quickly the pointer moves across the screen, and acceleration determines how quickly it reaches its maximum speed once a key is pressed.

Change Mouse Keys Speed or Acceleration in Windows

In Windows 11, the speed and acceleration settings for Mouse Keys can be customized to suit user preferences. This post will show you how to use these settings to tailor the behavior of the pointer when using the numeric keypad on your keyboard instead of the mouse.

To change Mouse Keys speed or acceleration in Windows 11, you may follow one of these methods:

  1. Use Windows Settings
  2. Use Control Panel
  3. Use Registry Editor

Let us see this in detail.

1] Use Windows Settings to change Mouse Keys speed or acceleration

Change Mouse Keys Speed or Acceleration in Settings

Press Win+I to open the Settings window. Navigate to Accessibility > Mouse. Click the down arrow next to the Mouse keys option to expand the section. You will see two options at the bottom:

  • Mouse keys speed
  • Mouse keys acceleration

(To access these settings, make sure the Mouse keys feature is enabled on your Windows 11 PC. If the feature is disabled, the settings will be grayed out.)

Use the slider next to the ‘Mouse keys speed’ option to adjust the speed of the mouse pointer. Move it towards the right to increase the speed and towards the left to decrease the speed of the pointer.

Use the slider next to the ‘Mouse keys acceleration’ option to increase or decrease the acceleration of the mouse pointer. Higher values accelerate the pointer faster, while lower values result in smoother movement of the pointer.

Close the Settings app when you’re done with the changes.

2] Use Control Panel to change Mouse Keys speed or acceleration

Change Mouse Keys Speed or Acceleration using Control Panel

Use the Top speed slider to increase or decrease the speed of the mouse pointer (low or high). Use the Acceleration slider to increase or decrease the acceleration of the mouse pointer (slow or fast).

Click Apply and then OK to save changes to the system.

3] Use Registry Editor to change Mouse Keys speed or acceleration

Change Mouse Keys Speed or Acceleration using Registry

Advanced users can adjust the Mouse Keys’ speed or acceleration on their Windows 11 PC by modifying specific registry keys.

We recommend backing up the Windows registry before making any changes to it to avoid system instability and other potential issues.

Press Win+R, type ‘regedit‘ in the Run dialogue, and press the Enter key. A User Account Control prompt will appear. Click Yes to open the Registry Editor.

Navigate to the following key in the Registry Editor window:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\MouseKeys

Double-click the TimeToMaximumSpeed string value in the right pane. Edit String dialogue will appear. In the Value data field, enter a value between 100 and 5000 to modify the Mouse Keys acceleration. The value determines the time it takes (in milliseconds) to reach the pointer’s maximum speed.

Next, double-click the MaximumSpeed string value. In the Edit String dialogue, enter a value between 1 and 359 in the ‘Value data’ field to modify the Mouse Keys speed. This value controls the maximum speed of the mouse pointer when Mouse Keys is enabled.

Close the Registry Editor and reboot your PC to apply changes.

That’s all! I hope you find this useful.

How To Customize Mouse Acceleration in Windows 11, 10, SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve

by Yaron Elharar (@YaronElharar)

This is a powerful mouse customization tool. Back up your Registry keys. As with extreme customization, use at your own risk.
Comments? Questions? Go to this X post 

* The graph starts zoomed in to the first four points. These are the most relevant for fine-tuning.
* When you start customizing your curve, you’ll see a gray line, which is a reference of the default mouse acceleration curve built into Windows 10 and 11.


Or check out SpeedCursor Pro, a software I created for accurate mouse control using shortcuts.

Please click the generate button to generate your new mouse curve.

Have you ever wanted to have extreme and accurate control over your mouse? Have you wondered how pro gamers and professionals are so accurate with their mouse movements? One of the less known secrets to this extreme mouse accuracy lies within two little-known registry keys: SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve. With the help of the tool on this page and a thorough explanation we will go through how to customize your own mouse acceleration curve and fine-tune it to your exact preferences. This is going to be a level of mouse precision that goes far beyond any standard mouse settings. Let’s get into it.

What are the SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve, and what do they do?

SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve are Windows Registry keys that contain crucial data for your mouse acceleration. This data is used by Windows to determine how far your pointer should move on the screen based on how fast you’re moving your physical mouse. In essence, these keys define the mouse acceleration curve.
These registry keys allow Windows to translate the speed of your physical mouse movement into the distance the on-screen pointer travels. By modifying the data in these keys, you can customize this relationship, giving you fine-grained control over your mouse’s speed while the mouse accelerates.

What is the mouse acceleration curve?

The mouse acceleration curve is fundamental to understanding how your computer translates physical mouse movement into on-screen cursor motion. Simply put, it’s a mathematical formula that determines how fast the mouse cursor should move on the screen in reaction to the speed at which you physically move your mouse. This curve is not just about position or velocity at a single moment, but primarily concerned with the translation of the physical movement to on-screen cursor movement.

So, in simple terms, you can think about SmoothMouseXCurve as the X-axis representing the physical speed you are moving the mouse on the desk or mousepad, while the SmoothMouseYCurve (Y-axis) values indicate how fast the cursor should move in response to the physical mouse movement.

By customizing the SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve registry keys, you’re reshaping the relationship between physical movement of the mouse and screen movement of the mouse. This allows for fine-tuned control over how your mouse behaves at different movement speeds.

Where can you find these registry keys?

To access these keys, you’ll need to dive into the Windows Registry. Here’s how you can find them:

Method 1: Direct navigation

  1. Click on the Start menu and type “Registry Editor” (without quotes).
  2. Click on the “Registry Editor” app in the search results to open it.
  3. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path by expanding the folders in the left pane:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
  4. Look for the keys named “SmoothMouseXCurve” and “SmoothMouseYCurve” in the right pane.

Method 2: Search from root

  1. Open the Registry Editor as described in steps 1-2 above.
  2. Click on “Computer” at the very top of the left pane to ensure you’re at the root.
  3. Press Ctrl+F or click Edit > Find from the menu.
  4. Type “SmoothMouseXCurve” or “SmoothMouseYCurve” (without quotes) in the search box and click “Find Next”.
  5. Once found, you can see the full path to the key in the address bar at the top of the Registry Editor window.

What are the SmoothMouseXCurve, SmoothMouseYCurve Registry keys?

Each key contains five pairs of values, and each pair is made up of two 32-bit values stored in little-endian format. This means the bytes are arranged in reverse order, which can look confusing at first glance. Here’s what each pair represents:

  1. SmoothMouseXCurve – mouse movement speed (input).
  2. SmoothMouseYCurve – the corresponding pointer movement speed (output).

The default registry keys for Windows 10, 11 mouse acceleration are

"SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,15,6e,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,40,01,00,00,00,00,00,29,dc,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,28,00,00,00,00,00
"SmoothMouseYCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,fd,11,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,24,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,fc,12,00,00,00,00,00,00,c0,bb,01,00,00,00,00

Let’s break down the SmoothMouseXCurve registry, and put each point on its own line.

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
15,6e,00,00,00,00,00,00
00,40,01,00,00,00,00,00
29,dc,03,00,00,00,00,00
00,00,28,00,00,00,00,00

As you can see, same as in the tool above we have five points on the x-axis of the acceleration curve graph. remember, the x-axis corresponds to the physical movement of the mouse. The first 4 bits represent the decimal portion of the number, and the second 4 bits represent the integer.

Hex of Decimal Hex of Integer Decimal Integer Point Value
00,00,00,00 00,00,00,00 0 0 0.0
15,6e,00,00 00,00,00,00 43 0 0.43
00,40,01,00 00,00,00,00 25 1 1.25
29,dc,03,00 00,00,00,00 86 3 3.86
00,00,28,00 00,00,00,00 0 40 40.0

Now, to get the point value, we will need to transform the hexadecimal value into a decimal value and combine it into a curve point. The tool above starts from the default Windows 10 values and lets you set your own custom values for the mouse acceleration curve and test them out on your own machine. Note that this registry key is exactly the same for Windows 11 as well.

Let’s start preparing to assign a custom mouse acceleration curve to our mouse.

Backing Up the Registry Keys

Before making any changes to your registry, it’s crucial to back up the original SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve registry values. This allows you to restore the original settings if something goes wrong. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open the Registry Editor as described in the “Where can you find them?” section,
    and get to the SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve registry keys as described there.
  2. To back up the entire “Mouse” key, which includes both SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve:
    • Right-click on the “Mouse” folder in the left pane.
    • Select “Export”.
    • Choose a location on your computer to save the file.
    • Name it something like “Mouse_Settings_Backup.reg” and click “Save”.

Now, if something goes wrong, restoring the original keys is easy, all you need to do is double-click this file and approve it to restore your original settings.

Applying Your Custom Mouse Acceleration Curve

Now that you’ve created a custom mouse acceleration curve using the tool, it’s time to apply it to your system. The tool will output two registry keys that represent your custom curve. They will look something like this:

"SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,15,6e,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,40,01,00,00,00,00,00,29,dc,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,28,00,00,00,00,00
"SmoothMouseYCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,fd,11,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,24,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,fc,12,00,00,00,00,00,00,c0,bb,01,00,00,00,00

Follow these steps to apply your new custom curve:

  1. Create a duplicate of your backup file: Copy the “Mouse_Settings_Backup.reg” file you created earlier and rename the copy to “my_new_mouse_curve.reg”.
  2. Edit the new file:
    • Right-click on “my_new_mouse_curve.reg” and select “Edit”.
    • Remove all unnecessary keys from the file, leaving only the SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve entries.
    • Replace these entries with the ones generated by the tool.
    • Save the file.
  3. After performing these edits, your “my_new_mouse_curve.reg” file should look something like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse]
"SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,80,00,00,00,00,00,00,cc,cc,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,99,19,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,80,01,00,00,00,00,00
"SmoothMouseYCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,33,33,01,00,00,00,00,00,66,e6,\
01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,80,09,00,00,00,00,00

Apply the new curve:

    1. Double-click the “my_new_mouse_curve.reg” file.
    2. Confirm any security prompts that appear.
    3. Click “Yes” to add the information to the registry.

Important Note: The changes will only take effect after you log out and log back into your user account. You may need to restart your computer for the changes to be fully applied.

By following these steps, you’ve successfully applied your custom mouse acceleration curve. Enjoy your newly customized mouse movement!

If you buy a new mouse, you might be surprised by how quick it is. A higher DPI (dots per inch) rating for your mouse means greater accuracy in picking up the smallest of movements. This isn’t always ideal, and you may prefer to lower the sensitivity on your mouse by reducing the mouse speed.

Thankfully, it’s easy to change your mouse speed in Windows 10. You can use the built-in Windows settings for your mouse to do this, or you can use a third-party solution. Your mouse may even include an easy-access sensitivity button to switch between settings. To change your mouse speed, here’s what you’ll need to do.

If you want to tweak your mouse speed and overall mouse sensitivity, the best place to start is in your Windows 10 settings area. Windows allows you to change various settings that can impact on how you use your mouse or trackpad, including the ability to change button actions, line scrolling speeds, and cursor speeds.

  • To change any of the built-in Windows 10 mouse settings, you’ll need to access your Windows 10 settings area. To do this, right-click the Windows Start menu and click Settings.
  • In the Windows Settings menu, click the Devices option to enter that menu.

  • Click Mouse in the left-hand menu to access some of the more basic mouse settings. From here, you can change your mouse scroll speeds and line length, as well as change some basic mouse button actions.

  • For more advanced mouse settings, click the Additional Mouse Options option under the Related settings section on the right (or at the bottom if the window is too small).
  • Under the Buttons tab of the Mouse Properties window, you can change the double-click speed. This is the speed you’ll need to be able to perform a double clicking action for Windows to register it. To change this, move the slider towards the left to slow the speed down, or right to speed it up.

  • You can change the action speed of your mouse cursor under the Pointer Options tab. Move the slider under the Select a pointer speed section to do this, moving it left to slow it down, or right to speed your cursor up. If you find that your pointer isn’t as precise, click to enable the Enhance pointer precision checkbox.

  • Once you’re happy with the changes you’ve made, click OK to save and close the window. Any changes you’ve made will be applied automatically and can be quickly tweaked or reversed, if needed.

Using The Windows Registry Editor To Change Mouse Sensitivity

If you’re comfortable tweaking with the Windows Registry, then you can use the Windows Registry Editor to change some of your mouse sensitivity settings instead. This could allow you to make more precise changes to your mouse speed compared to using the Windows 10 settings menu.

  • To do this, press Ctrl+R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box. Type regedit into the box, then click OK to open it.
  • Using the registry navigation menu on the left, head to KEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouse to view the registry entries for your mouse settings.
  • You’ll see various registry entries for your mouse settings, but one of the most important is the MouseSensitivity entry. Double-click the entry to change the value to any figure up to 20.

  • You can also tweak how precise your cursor movements are using the MouseSpeed, MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2 entries. Your mouse movements will double when the value for MouseSpeed equals or is greater than the value for MouseThreshold1, and quadruples for MouseThreshold2. The values reflect distance travelled by pixels.

  • These entries have a default value of 0, but you can see their default values by enabling the Enhance pointer precision checkbox first (Windows Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional Mouse Options). If you want to set it to maximum, set MouseSpeed to 2, and set the value of MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2 to 0.

  • Once you’re done, close the Windows Registry Editor. Any changes you make should be applied automatically, but you may need to restart to see some of the changes take effect.

Using a Third-Party Mouse Settings App

While cheaper mice and keyboard combos are typically supplied without software, more advanced gaming mice will often come with manufacturer settings apps that allow you to tweak and change how they operate. They can also help to unlock additional features, supported by your mouse but not by Windows directly.

If your mouse comes with a DPI settings button (as many gaming mice do), you’ll need to install the settings software from the manufacturer to allow you to set up the different sensitivity profiles that the button supports. Popular gaming manufacturers, including Logitech and Razer, offer this feature.

One example of software that you can use to control your mouse settings is Logitech Gaming Software, designed to support Logitech-branded gaming equipment, including mice and keyboard. Installing this software will allow you to control various settings for your mouse, including the speeds.

In the first instance, check the website for your mouse manufacturer to see if this is something that is offered for your mouse model. If it isn’t, you may find that software that isn’t specifically designed for your mouse will work for some features, but this isn’t guaranteed.

Making Changes In Windows 10

Once you know how to change your mouse speed in Windows 10, you can start to look at other tweaks you can make to your settings. You may wish to change your keyboard language to help your language skills improve, or tweak your display settings to improve your Windows 10 display quality.

If you make too many changes, don’t worry, as you can reset and restore Windows to default settings pretty quickly. Be sure to back up your important files before you do this to make sure you don’t lose anything essential, however. If you’re tired of slowdowns, you could always start building a new custom PC to start afresh.
