41  <p>If your pointer moves too fast or slow when you move your mouse or use
42  your touchpad, you can adjust the pointer speed for these devices.</p>
43
44  <steps>
45    <item>
46      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui>
47      overview and start typing <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui>.</p>
48    </item>
49    <item>
50      <p>Click on <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui> to open the panel.</p>
51    </item>
52    <item>
53      <p>Adjust the <gui>Mouse Speed</gui> or <gui>Touchpad Speed</gui> slider
54      until the pointer motion is comfortable for you. Sometimes the most
55      comfortable settings for one type of device are not the best for
56      the other.</p>
57    </item>
58  </steps>

60  <note>
61    <p>The <gui>Touchpad</gui> section only appears if your system has a
62    touchpad, while the <gui>Mouse</gui> section is only visible when a mouse
63    is connected.</p>
