How to Customize Your Mouse and Touchpad via PC Settings
 

Works with: Windows 8.1

In Windows 8, you can configure your mouse and keyboard through Control Panel. Open Control Panel, and select the Hardware and Sound category. Under Devices and Printers, click on the setting for Mouse. You’ll then see the Mouse Properties window with a variety of options.

In Windows 8.1, however, you can tweak the major settings right from the PC Settings screen. To get there, launch the Charms bar, click on the Settings Charm, and then select Change PC Settings. In the PC Settings screen, click on the PC & Devices category and then select Mouse & Touchpad. You can now adjust the primary button, the distance covered by your scroll wheel, and the number of lines you scroll on a single roll. On a laptop, you can turn your touch pad on or off, enable swiping from the right or left, reverse the scrolling direction, and turn off taps to prevent the cursor from moving while you type.
