Abstract
In one or more embodiments, a mouse for an information handling system has a plurality of force or tilt sensors. When a sensor detects a force or tilt value above a threshold value, a microcontroller unit (MCU) determines how fast the mouse is moving. If the mouse is moving above a threshold rate, the MCU determines the user is making a coarse movement and the MCU sends the mouse output to a processor for normal cursor adjustment. If the mouse is moving slower than a mouse speed threshold value, the MCU determines the user is trying to make a fine adjustment and the MCU adjusts the mouse sensitivity and sends the mouse output to the processor for fine cursor adjustment. The sensors may be in the bottom, sides or skirt of the mouse or a mousepad associated with the mouse.
