a
key that repeats, there
is a
delay before the key
begins
repeating. To increase this delay
,
drag the
arrow on
the
slider
labeled Key Repeat
Delay to the
right.
To decrease the delay
,
drag the
arrow
to the left.
Warning: Be
aware
that
it
is possible to
set
the key repeat too
fast
,
since
the
display takes
a
finite
amount of
time to update
.
Mouse Speed
The
three
settings
for mouse
speed
let you
change
how far the Pointer moves
when
you
move the mouse. The
settings
1,2,
and
4 are the number
of
inches
you
move the mouse to move the Pointer roughly
a
third
of
the
way
across
the
display
.
The larger the
number,
the more room
you
need
for
the mouse.

set
the maximum length
of
time between the
two clicks
of
a double-click. Drag the arrow down to increase the maximum
