Multi-monitor Mouse

The Multi-monitor Mouse feature provides the additional abilities for using the mouse in a multi-monitor system, such as quick switching of the mouse pointer between monitors via hotkeys, ability to lock the mouse pointer within its current monitor, either in hard or soft manner, or wrapping the desktop.

Mouse Management Hotkeys

Special hotkey combinations switch the mouse pointer between monitors instantly. The operation is similar to switching between windows using <Alt+Tab>: pressing the specified hotkey (<Win+`> by default) will cycle the mouse through the monitors in ascending order (first to second to third etc., then back to the first). Another hotkey (<Ctrl+Alt+P> by default) moves the mouse pointer to the middle of the primary monitor. This can speed up navigation and reduce workload on the mouse-operating hand.

Mouse Hard Lock

Hard lock is turned on manually. When turned on, it keeps the mouse pointer within a current monitor unconditionally, until you turn it off.

You can toggle the hard mouse lock by pressing the Lock Mouse in Monitor hotkey.

Mouse Soft Lock

Soft lock works automatically. When you try to drag the mouse to another monitor, it holds the mouse pointer on a boundary between monitors for a specified amount of time. However, if you continue to drag the mouse longer than this time then it unlocks the mouse pointer and lets it cross the boundary and go to the desired monitor (that's why another name of this lock mode is "tight monitor boundaries").

Such kind of locking prevents unwanted movements of the mouse to another monitor but lets do it without any extra manipulations when it's nevertheless required. You can enable the soft lock in the Mouse page.

Desktop Wrapping

This tool makes your Windows Desktop "edgeless" for the mouse: dragging it beyond a desktop edge will warp the mouse pointer to the opposite edge (as if desktop would be wrapped and its opposite edges put together).

The following kinds of wrapping are available:

• entire - lets the mouse go freely both in horizontal and vertical direction
• horizontal - lets the mouse go freely in horizontal direction only (i.e. beyond left/right edge of the desktop)
• vertical - lets the mouse go freely in vertical direction only (i.e. beyond top/bottom edge of the desktop)

You can enable desktop wrapping in the Mouse page.
