What is enhance pointer precision?

Enhance pointer precision is a feature found in the Windows operating system that is designed to improve the accuracy and responsiveness of the mouse cursor. When this feature is enabled, the mouse cursor will move more smoothly and predictably across the screen, making it easier to select and interact with objects on the screen.

Enhance pointer precision adjusts the sensitivity of the mouse based on how quickly you move the mouse. This means that small, precise movements will be more accurate, while larger, quicker movements will still allow the cursor to move across the screen without losing accuracy.

Some users may find that enhance pointer precision makes the mouse cursor feel more “floaty” or that it doesn’t accurately track their movements. In this case, it is recommended to disable the feature and adjust the mouse sensitivity to find the settings that work best for you.

To enable or disable enhance pointer precision in Windows, you can go to the Control Panel, click on “Hardware and Sound,” then click on “Mouse.” In the Mouse Properties window, navigate to the “Pointer Options” tab and check or uncheck the box next to “Enhance pointer precision” to enable or disable the feature.
