Although the sales figures for Mac say they are going down, around me I see more and more colleagues with a Mac in their hands and the proof of this is that they do not stop asking me questions regarding the management of the system. For many of our followers it may be trivial what we are going to talk about today, but we are having many new users who demand these things and that is Soy de Mac It is for both the less expert and the more experienced.
In this case we are going to remind you where we have to enter so that you can adjust the operating speed of both the mouse and the trackpad on a Mac. As you already know, if you have a MacBook what you are going to have as standard is a great Multi-touch trackpad And if what you bought is an iMac, what you will have as standard is the Magic Keyboard and the Magic Mouse 2, having to buy the Magic Trackpad 2 as an accessory if you want it.
When we get to the apple operating system it seems that everything is very difficult and that everything is a real chaos, but nothing is further from reality and that is that in macOS Sierra, which is the current Mac system, everything is very simple and a Once you get hold of the controls, it is easy to use an Apple computer. Today a friend who has come to this world asked me where he could adjust the speed of the cursor when using the trackpad of his laptop. I have quickly commented to him what I am going to share with you below.
As you may already know, one of the nerve centers of the Mac operating system is System preferencesYes, that gray icon in the form of a gear in which all the items that allow us to configure the basic operation of the system are stored. If you enter into System Preferences you will see that in the second line of items is the Mouse and Trackpad. In this case, I am writing the article from an iMac that does not have a Trackpad, so if I clicked on that icon, the only thing that would appear to me is that I have none within the range of the computer's signal.
However, if I click on the Mouse, what is shown are some basic settings of the mouse as well as a slider bar with which we will be able to control the speed of the cursor, which is what my colleague had asked me. However, there are other options to configure both the mouse and the trackpad that instead of being in the items that we have mentioned are somewhat hidden in the Accessibility item configuration options which you can also find in the System Preferences panel. As you can see in the screenshot, you can control the inertia of the movement of the sliding windows, the speed of the click or the delay of automatic opening.
So if you are new or want to fiddle with all the options for both the mouse and the trackpad on Mac, we encourage you to take a few minutes to put into practice what I have told you in this article today.
