Changing the X,Y resolution Softmouse 3D allows to change the X,Y movement resolution expressed in Counts Per Inch, or CPI. With a large CPI a small mouse movement translates into a large cursor displacement on the screen. The CPI of Softmouse can be changed to 400, 800, 1200 and 1600 CPI. The factory default is 1600 CPI. To change the CPI: 1. Unplug the mouse momentarily from the computer. 2. Press one of the key combinations depicted below. 3. While keeping the keys pressed plug the mouse again in the USB port of the computer. The key combination is the right white button plus one of the side buttons as indicated in the diagram below. The new CPI will be memorized by Softmouse and will remain in effect until you change it again, even if you disconnect the mouse from the computer. Plug the mouse pressing the key combinations above to change the mouse resolution Note that cursor displacement is also affected by the scaling factor applied by your application software. If you find that your software can’t adjust to an adequate cursor displacement you may need to reduce the CPI of the mouse with the method above. Page 3 ...
