    I did something on my keyboard accidentally and now my mouse is moving in very short strokes. I have to lift it and move it many times just to get it across the screen. I went to the mouse settings and moved cursor speed all the way to fast but it hasn't changed. I'm not sure what I did wrong. I am using Windows 10 with a GeForce mouse and keyboard. Please let me know if you need anymore information.

    :)
