How to make mouse even faster?

[Al]

Hi,

I`ve found that the maximum mouse speed isn`t fast enough for me. Is there a utility which can set the speed faster
than NT4`s own mouse control panel can?

I`ve tried TWEAK UI but there is no settings for mouse speed. Is the setting somewhere in the registry?

Thanks for any kind of tip,
Al

Using regedit, I noticed that three settings in the registry correlated to changes in the speed setting of mouse control panel:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouseMouseSpeed
HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouseMouseThreshold1
HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouseMouseThreshold2

The MouseSpeed key maxes at 2 from control panel, and increasing this above 2 will cause the mouse to slow down (doesn`t accept values above 2). The mouse speed is really a multiplier for MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2, which correlate to acceleration.

do this for maximum speed:
1) Use regedit to set MouseSpeed equal to 2
2) set MouseThreshold1 to 0
3) set MouseThreshold2 to 0

You may want to set MouseThreshold1 and 2 a little higher than 0 if your pointer becomes a little too jumpy on the screen, but make sure that MouseThreshold2 is greater or equal to MouseThreshold1, and all three of these are integer values.

for more info on acceleration, read this URL: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q149/2/28.asp
