Mouse pad is too sensitive.

I have a HP G72-c55DX Notebook PC. I can't find an option anywhere on mouse properties to adjusts the senstivitiy of my mousepad. When I type letters, emails, etc., my hand must brush up against the mouse pad and change positions on the page I'm writing creating typing mistakes. Very frustrating. My previous HP models,or Windows had that option. I have Windows 7 and can't find it.

Try this Freeware, touchpad pal. It automatically disables the touchpad while you are typing:

Apple mouse scrolling is too sensitive in Yosemite

I've use a wired USB Apple mouse with scroll ball (A1152) on my iMac 27", and since upgrading to Yosemite, the mouse scrolling has been way too sensitive and doesn't allow any fine adjustment of scrolling speed/acceleration in system preferences. In the Mouse preference pane, the 1st position on the Scrolling slider is way too slow–a full scroll of the bar down moves about 1/4 of a full webpage at native resolution with very slow acceleration. The 2nd slider position is not any faster than the 1st. The 3rd slider position accelerates way, way faster, and scrolls a distance of about 8 full pages using a moderate flick of the scroll ball. At this high sensitivity, I need to scroll fairly carefully to move only one page. In a finder window with 500 items, it accelerates fast enough to move from top of the list to the bottom with less than one full finger swipe of the ball at moderate speed. Any setting from 3-8 on the Scrolling slider is the same speed and acceleration and is way too fast to use in a well-controlled manner. The behavior system-wide and is the same in any browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). This is nothing like how it behaved in OS X Lion through Mavericks over the past four years. Also, I can set the scrolling slide to the 3rd position, close system preferences, and go back in to find that it has set itself to the 2nd position, but the scrolling behavior is that of the 3rd position until I move the slider again.
I've trashed some .plist files from ~/Library/Preferences/ that I thought would reset things (com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist and others) upon logout/login, but the behavior persists. I've tried a few pieces of software to try to override mouse settings, and while they will affect the mouse tracking speed and acceleration, they don't work well at controlling the scroll speed. I've reset the PRAM and SMC. I've created a new user account. Nothing has allowed usable adjustment of scroll speed/acceleration of the Apple mouse.
Any suggestions on how I can regain in Yosemite the usable adjustment of scroll speed/acceleration that were in all previous OS versions would be appreciated.

Try setting the scroll wheel scaling manually, by running the following command in the Terminal and then logging out and then back in to re-load the settings:
defaults write -g com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling -float VALUE
In this case, try values of 1, 0.5, 0.25, etc, decreasing in half each time to see how the scroll wheel sensitivity responds, and then use the one that works best. Alternatively, you can use the system preferences to set the sensitivity to the two values you have used so far, followed by running the following command between each to see what the value is for each:
defaults read -g com.apple.scrollwheel.scaling
Then you can determine some intermediate value to use, and use the first command above to set it to that value (again followed by logging out and then back in so the value will load).

Zen MP3 Micro.........Touch pad WAAAAYYYYY too sensitive !!!!! HE

Hi!
I just bought the above and, even with the sensitivity set to "LOW", it it STILL way too sensiti've for me to go thru the menus.
The hardest part is to reply YES or NO when deleting a playlist....sometimes, it's takeen 0 MINS of repeated tries!!!!!!!!!
(I touching it as lightly as i CAN!).
Is there any way to make it even LESS sensiti've?
Thank you,

Maybe I was lucky, but I've updated the firmware a few times and still have tracks that I loaded the first day I got my Zen Micro.
Note: I've only updated to the ..0 firmware; not the 2.x versions.
To update your firmware, go to the top of the page where it says Support, go to Downloads, click Mp3 Players, ZEN, Zen Micro, Select Your Language, Select Your Operating System, File Type (firmware), hit Go and select Creative Zen Micro Firmware ..0 (2.03 MB), unless you need features that version 2.20.05 has.

Logitech bluetooth mouse too sensitive

Hello!
Well, I have a bluetooth, Logitech Notebook mouse. I'm not sure of the exact model number, but I believe it's the V270, as in this mouse:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/US/EN,crid=1792,contentid=1 1016,osid=9
I linked to the driver "download" page - that is, if there was one. True, it works just fine with OS X's built in drivers, but it's way too fast. I have moved the mouse sensitivity to the second-to-lowest point in the OS X mouse prefs pane, but it's far too fast and imprecise. If I move it to the lowest point, it's far far too slow. WIthout a logitech driver, I'm kinda stuck between having a bluetooth mouse that's too sensitive, and a Microsoft USB mouse that's a bit uncomfortable (a bit too big). My Powerbook didn't come with a mouse.
Speaking of which, I have a PowerBook 15" 1.67 G4 model, running OS 10.4.8, with built in bluetooth. I have it sitting on top of my 3/4" inch thick desk - made out of particleboard - and the mouse on the tray just below. the mouse is less than a foot from the PowerBook's optical drive, to the lower right, so's probably not an issue with bad reception.
Does anyone have an idea of how to lower sensitivity? A third-party plugin? A terminal command? Automator? Something?
Thanks a bunch,
-Dan

Woah, that was fast!
Yes, I've tried that download. It seems to be looking for a USB connection, such as one of those mice with a USB transmitter. It says "No Logitech Device Found"
That's the problem.
Both Macupdate and the logitech site link to the same program, BTW.
I'll look into Steermouse and USB overdrive, but again, No USB connection at all, since it connects directly to the built-in-USB card.
Thanks for the fast response,
-Dan
Oooh! Look at that! It's snowing! Again! (sigh....)
I'm ready for spring now....

Mouse Too Sensitive in Fullscreen Apps

Normally on the XFCE4 desktop my mouse is perfect (using Synaptics driver on my Lenovo Ideapad S205) but if I open any fullscreen apps such as ScummVM, the mouse suddenly becomes incredibly sensitive and moves far too fast (and quite inaccurately too, making it hard to select some things as if the mouse is suddenly operating as a very low DPI).
This is just inside the app, if I leave the fullscreen program then the mouse if fine again.
Has anyone else experienced this before and does anyone know of a fix?

I would guess that it's a bug in SDL, and check the SDL bugzilla.
Also check the xorg bugzilla re synaptics bugs, 'cos Arch uses bleeding-edge xorg (I'm still on xorg-server 1.9.5 with patches pinched from Fedora and Mageia, because I found 1.10.x unstable).

Mouse too sensitive

My Apple wireless mouse is way too sensitve on scrolling, it always scroll when it is not mean to be. How can I disable it or make it less sensitive?
OS: Windows 7 on Boot Camp (running on iMAC)
Thanks

I don't know about windows, but in OSX in system preferences/settings/mouse untick one finger scrolling. Two finger scrolling is much less sensitive - use that if you want to scroll from the mouse. Don't actually see the need - it's a mouse after all!

Mac mouse is too sensitive. Anyone know how to relax it?

Mac wireless mouse is too sensitive and jumps around ahead of me. Anyone know how to slow it down?

I had the same problem, with a new iMac: I was getting a lot of random scrolling, in the middle of editing work, and it was very annoying.
Contacted Apple and they told me to do an SMC (?) reset, which changed nothing.
I then realized that the problem was from an over-sensitive Magic Mouse. Many users seem to complain about this over-sensitivity, especially for newer computers.
So, a while ago, I took the following advice the website at the end of this post.
Control the touch-sensitive area of this mouse with the free app MagicPrefs (not clear why Apple does not provide something this useful):
download it from http://magicprefs.com/ and install
then go to its Preferences
in the new window that opens, click on Configure Scrolling, at the bottom right
you will then see the sensitive area of your mouse
click and drag to reduce that area
I had found that especially touching the edges of the mouse start the random scrolling
so, I made the touch-sensitive area for scrolling very small, and in the top-middle of the mouse, about where the scroll-wheel would be on a normal mouse.
Hope this saves you all a lot of frustration.
P.S. I learned about MagicPrefs from one of these frustrated people

Mouse too sensitive or driver problem?

I've noticed that for the past half year, my mouse buttons have been too sensitive. I'll attempt to singleclick, but it will register as a doubleclick.
Does it sound like my mouse is too sensitive (maybe because the contacts are dirty) or is something xorg wrong with the input drivers that would cause this to occur? I do know that there was a problem a while ago with jumpy/jittery mouse control, but that never happened to me.

Hi people. I'have this problem too with my Synaptics Touchpad. I've installed gsynaptics tool (Preferences->Touchpad) and selected "Tapping Time" to the shortest value with no effect apparently, it is still too damn sensitive.
Also, my xorg.conf is completely commented out! So I think everything is HAL-detected. Any ideas ?

Track pad too sensitive

My track pad is unpredictably sensitive. Often it will highlight lots of items instead of the one I select the "feel" is different, not feeling like it has "clicked". Other times a selection box will appear for no apparent reason

Go to system preferences, trackpad, and turn off the "tap to click" option.
Everything else will still work the same. You now just push a little harder when you want to actuall "click" on something.
This completely resolved the issue for me.

Area Surrounding Mouse Pad-Left and Right-Suddenly Sensitive To Touch

I have a 13" White MacBook that is suddenly acting really odd. The area (left and right) surrounding the mouse pad has become almost untouchable. If I touch those areas sudden and varying input occurs.
I write code on occasion and noticed a few days ago that errors would pop up with bizarre text causing the problem. Now, even the slightest touch will cause problems...maybe a copy and or paste, a simple highlight of text, the enter key is pressed, etc....
My Mac rarely leaves the desk, so no damage has occurred to the hardware.
Another issue I noticed that started a few weeks ago is that the cursor will go away for a brief second or two.
Any ideas???
Thanks...RedRacer123

New Bluetooth Mightymouse goes crazy on certain mouse pads

I just bought a new wireless Mightmouse from Amazon UK and started using it, only to discover that it goes crazy when placed on certain mouse pads. The cursor starts moving all over the screen if I even place the mouse on the pad without moving it. I have three mouse pads here and only one can be used (it has a plastic cover). The other two, a thin one and a thicker, rubbery one (both cloth covered) cause the mouse to get a life of its own. A plain white desktop works ok, too, but in some cases I need to use a mouse pad, for example, when working on a garden table that has slits.
I tried it with all wireless stuff off (airport unplugged, etc.), but still the same. From what I have seen posted here, there seem to be some odd problems with this mouse. I wonder if I should return it? Could it be a hardware problem? Or maybe a software problem?
(This is on a new Macbook Pro 17inch.)

Hello Apple:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I would return it. There is no reason that the mouse would be +"pad sensitive."+ I have found that the optical mice do need a pad to work well.

Too sensitive

When Im using the pen tool in illustrator Im finding that its too sensitive. For example when I add or select a point quite often I will move point, or the bezier curves will move or the entire path will move slightly. It seems to be very hyper sensitive. Im using a wacom intuos and I have tried all different settings but still seems to be very fiddly. I cant get anything done because it frustrates me too much. Using the mouse is ok its only with the wacom i have this problem. Also is thee a way to set my mouse pad to zoom. I can do this in photoshop and its very handy but cant find a way in illustrator. Im using macbook pro.

It's in the selection panel of the prefs.
Have you considered that the Wacom driver may also be broken. I have a Wacom as well and mine also won't work well in certain cirsumstances.
See for instance this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4838792#4838792

Macbook touchpad too sensitive

I have a Macbook Pro running all the latest software (i.e. patches are all up to date). Since I purchased the Macbook I've noticed that the touchpad is way too sensitive. I'm often using it without a mouse so having the touch turned on is nice, but it is so sensitive it is constantly clicking when I don't want it to, no matter how soft I try to use the pad.
I can't seem to find a way to adjust the sensitivity.
Anyone know how to do this, or do I need to turn off touch-to-click options?
Thanks!
Clark

1. System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad
     Double-click speed
    Try adjusting the speed a bit lower.
2. Shutdown the computer.
    Clean the Trackpad with a dry microfiber cloth.

Clicking on touchpad too sensitive, how to change..

I recently bought a Dell XPS 15 9530. I want to change the touchpad sensibility to clicking, as it is too sensitive, but I can't find this option in control panel --> mouse --> "dell touchpad".
I'm NOT looking for a way to change the sensitivity to moving the cursor, that one I can find, but clicking to select etc on the touchpad. What happens all the time is when I want to just move the cursor the touchpad believes I'm clicking and I accidentally select files/moves them etcetc..
Sorry for not being able to explain this better, english is not my first language.

Hi,
If the machine is on windows 8,
under the Windows 8 settings app (-> PC and devices -> Mouse and touchpad). This is apparently configurable only in the settings app, and not anywhere under the Control Panel.
Regards
