“It’s Hard to See Your Mouse…”

“It’s hard to see your mouse…” said the customer, “It’s pretty small.”  I just heard this while doing a demo “ride-along” with a prospect of mine.

This is a very (very!) common problem, as screen resolution of computers has continued to increase – and it has a very simple solution.  Do two things:

1.     Increase your mouse cursor size

2.     Choose a mouse cursor style that is “filled-in” or high contrast.

On Mac, you’ll find mouse size adjustment in:

-       System Preferences

-       Accessibility

-       Display

-       Cursor…

-       (about 200% is good – move to the second mark on the scale)

On Windows you’ll find mouse size and fill-in choices in:

-       PC Settings

-       Ease of Access

-       Mouse…

-       (I’d recommend trying the two middle choices)

Now enjoy the improved visibility your audiences will experience…!
