  <title>Adjust speed of the mouse and touchpad</title>

  <p>If your pointer moves too fast or slow when you move your mouse or use
  your touchpad, you can adjust the pointer speed for these devices.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Adjust the <gui>Pointer Speed</gui> slider until the pointer motion
      is comfortable for you. You will see one slider per each pointing device,
      such as mouse or touchpad.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>You can set different pointer speed for each type of device. For example,
  you can have one scroll speed for a laptop touchpad and another for a mouse.
  Sometimes the most comfortable settings for one type of device are not the
  best for another.</p>

  <note>
    <p>The <gui>Touchpad</gui> section only appears if your system has a
    touchpad, while the <gui>Mouse</gui> section is only visible when a mouse
    is plugged in.</p>
