  1. Mouse sensitivity messed up if display scale is not 100%


    I'm using a 3840x2160 monitor, with display scale set to 200%.



    My mouse sensitivity become twice faster as before compare to 100% scaling. I simply check some settings, and I found that if I set display scale to 100%, my mouse speed was normal as before.


    I found that when under 200% scale, my cursor move at least 2 pixel per move. Which is not right. By not right I mean this is not the intention of me. I want to have the ability to move my pointer with accuracy.


    Is there a way to disable this feature? I want pixel accuracy for my mouse under 200% scaling.

    :)

    Mouse sensitivity issue with display scaled monitor after windows 10 1709 update

    Windows 10 1709 64

    mouse: benq ec2-a (driver less mouse)

    monitor dell p2415q

    I'm using a 24' 4k(3840x2160) monitor, with display scale set to 200%.

    after upgrade to windows 10 1709, my mouse sensitivity become twice faster as before. I simply check some settings, and I found that if I set display scale to 100%, my mouse speed was normal as before, but things were too little to see.

    and I found that when under 200% scale, my cursor move at least 2 pixel per move, which I thought this might be a feature of windows 10 upgrade that if someone has 2 monitors with different display scale, can get a relative same mouse speed on both monitor
    by applying a mouse sensitivity multiplier relative to display scale setting.
    But I only have one monitor, the mouse speed is also doubled as my display scale setting. which I have to half my mouse dpi and I get pixel skipped when moving mouse.

    is there a way to disable this feature? or any thing of make the mouse sensitivity is base on the highest scaled monitor not the constant 100% scale?
