5. Changing Your Mouse

This tool enables you to set up a different mouse, which is useful if the mouse you are currently using is not the same as the one you chose at installation time.

[Note] Note

The “Synaptics Touchpad” function is automatically configured to work with almost every touch pad found on notebook computers. The same goes for Wacom® tablets.

Choosing a Different Mouse

Mice are sorted into a tree according to their connection type and model (see Figure 9.7, “Choosing a Different Mouse”). Highlight the mouse of your choice and click OK. Changes take effect immediately after the mouse test is done.

[Tip] Tip

The Any PS/2 & USB mice option works with virtually all modern mice.

[Note] Note

If you have a mouse with more than 5 buttons, and it's not automatically configured, select the Force evdev option and use the assistance provided to configure the non-working buttons.
