Improving accessibility on a Windows PC by adapting the pointer settings is very easy by following these steps
Table of contents:
Many of us don&39;t realize it, but there is a broad community of technology users who require small adaptations and improvements for that device to that they use on a day-to-day basis is more comfortable for them. It is commonplace now that screens are part of our daily lives."
It happens on telephones, where for example our elders sometimes need greater contrast or a larger size to see the letters... well, bigger and not that much. The same happens if you use a computer, it does not matter if it is under Windows 10 or with macOS.And in this case, one of the biggest complaints is the one referring to the size, the speed of the cursor and the mouse pointer factors that we can modify at will easy and simple.
Adaptable to any user
And it's not the first time I've heard complaints about it, with cursors moving too fast or tiny mouse pointers. In the case of Windows 10 it's as easy as accessing accessibility improvements.
"To change those parameters that sometimes give us a headache, simply access the Windows Settings menu, either with the key combination of Windows + I or entering the lower area of the screen and pressing the cogwheel."
Once in Settings we must look for and select the section Accessibility . In the left bar we will see a section called Cursor and pointer and we click on it."
The menu offers us access to different possibilities, the first being related to size and the one that allows us to increase its size up to 15 timesrelative to the original. It is a matter of adapting it to the taste and needs of each one.
Same as color, where we can ditch the normal white and choose to use a black cursor, a pointer with custom color, one that switches between black and white depending on the background or even change the shape.
"We have accessed through the section Accessibility, but be careful, because we can also access the same destination within Settings and entering the option Adjust the mouse and cursor size on the right of the screen "
We have already changed and adapted the way it is displayed and now we are going to play with the speed of the pointer, which sometimes may be too fast or too slow.
"In this case we return to the Settings menu and now we look at the Devices section . Here we will see all the devices and peripherals that we have connected by cable and Bluetooth."
"Once inside, look in the left column for the section dedicated to Mouse and click on it. Here we must click on the option Additional configuration options located on the right of the configuration page."
We will see a new window and click on the Pointer Options tab. The window displays a bar with the legend Select pointer speed."
"In which we must choose between one of the levels that it offers, being the right zone the one that offers the fastest while the left slows down movement. Once we choose the one that interests us, we only have to press Accept>"
It is one of the modifications that we can carry out in this section, because we can also add a trail to the movement of the putero, make that it moves automatically to each dialog box... it is about adjusting the operation of the mouse and the pointer to the needs of each user.
