Mouse Use
Pointers and Cursors too Small
Windows has many pointers and cursors on offer other than the standard ones. These can be found in the Control Panel under Mouse Pointers. There are also more freely available from Dolphin and the Ace Centre, with larger icons and bars to increase visibility. Philip Henderson also offers some left handed ones with bright colours.
- Left Handed
You can change the buttons on the mouse to make it easier to control with the left hand. The settings are found in the same section as the pointers - Control panel - Mouse and Buttons tab. See Microsoft guides for other mouse changes.
