 |
|
So i just got myself a corded mouse m500. So i installed their software since i thought they might have a possibility for a hotkey that does that, but they did not.
So, does anyone know about some piece of software that would allow me to use *mouse button x* to toggle sensitivity/speed on the go?

The "mouse speed" is actually called mouse DPI (Dots per inch).
If you can run macros,
This program:
http://nd.snackbox.org/pages/apps/mousespeed.html
Using this script:
| Code: | Check_Current_Mouse_Speed_DPI:
Default_Mouse_Speed_DPI = 12
; Report the current mouse speed:
SPI_GETMOUSESPEED = 0x70
DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", UInt, SPI_GETMOUSESPEED, UInt, 0, UIntP, CurrentMouseSpeed, UInt, 0)
;%CurrentMouseSpeed%
If %CurrentMouseSpeed% != %Default_Mouse_Speed_DPI%
{
Runwait, %comspec% /c "SetMouseSpeed.exe %Default_Mouse_Speed_DPI%",, Hide
}
Return |
Thanks to Deep-Silence from http://www.autohotkey.com for the above.
Specifically this:
SetMouseSpeed.exe %Default_Mouse_Speed_DPI%
"C:\Users\UserAccount\Desktop\MouseSpeed\SetMouseSpeed.exe DPI number"
I suggest around 2000 for fast, 1300 for normal and maybe 800 for slow?

Logitech mice that can perform that function do it directly on the mouse, they require no driver to do so.
Look at the MX518
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/4259
See the plus and minus buttons? They increase and decrease the sensitivity (only 3 levels, but it's useful in some instances).
But they also usually let you assign a macro to them, in which case Zac's method should work.

Seems a bit clumsy way to do it, weird that Logitech does not have this as a part of their software.
And Zac do you by any chance know how to assign a mouse key as an hotkey in autoit/AHK?
