To test click the Apply button and then try your new settings in the Test area (the jack-in-the-box) on the same page.

1. Visibility: You can adjust the visibility of the mouse cursor using several features.

1. You can add mouse trails this will display a trail of cursors behind the mouse making it easier to see the cursor while it is moved. This setting is found on the Motion tab. The slide bar allows you to adjust the length of the trail.
2. The size of the cursor and its appearance can be adjusted on the Pointers tab. You should click the down arrow on the Scheme box and select the type of cursor that will be easiest for you see and work with. Once you have the scheme selected simply click the Apply button, and the change will be made.

1. Movement.

You can adjust the pointer speed on the on the Motion tab. The slide bar under Pointer speed can be adjusted to make the mouse cursor react more or less to the movement of the mouse.

There is no right or wrong for adjusting the features for the mouse. It is a matter of personal taste and what works for you personally.
