I noticed that after updating Windows 10 to Insider Preview build 16273, my pointer was way faster than before. After closing down DpiGonzales, I noticed that pointer speed was consistent across all my monitors.

This probably means that DpiGonzales can retire or at least become superfluous for most of us as soon as the final version of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is released.

If you are on Windows 10 Insider Preview build 16273 or newer, please let us know if you can confirm this or not.

As I described here #21 , it isn't working for me at all, however I have noticed one thing that I think should be customizable.

My default speed that I use with my main display is 5.
I would like to use a different speed for my other display.

Gonzales does it the other way around, keeping my default 5 for my other display and changing the value for my main display.

This is my default for my main screen without other displays attached and gonzales running.

This happens after I run Gonzales

I have Windows 10, .NET version 4.7.02046, two displays (1920x1200 and 3840x2160).

When I run DpiGonzales.exe, it appears in the task manager for maybe 1 second then vanishes.
If I run it from commandline the same thing happens, no errors.

For example:

• are the required Win32 APIs available on the host OS?
• are there multiple monitors detected?

see bottom for update

My problem may not be valid, since I have precision touchpad. See at the bottom.

original report

My setup (touchpad)
1: DELL XPS 13.3", 16:9, 3840x2160 px, scaling 150%
2: Lenovo Yoga Tablet 3 10.1", 16:10, 2560x1600 px, scaling 125%

If my understanding of windows scaling is correct, when interpolated to 1:1 scaling, the displays feel like
1: 13.3", 2560x1440 px
2: 10.1", 2048x1280 px

which then, with the smaller screen extrapolated to the size of larger should feel more/less the same for the values of my initial setup.
2: 10.1" 16:10 -> 13.3" 16:9 = 2696x1516 px
only a 5% difference to perceived resolution 2560x1440 px of the main display (1)

My setup

Screenshot from OS' perspective

That window in the middle is ScreenToGif and here comes the output with no perceived difference with the gonzales app on or off.

The gonzolas indeed changes the mouse speed

However, my computer has a different setting for touchpad speed.

Is it possible for your app to handle this or am I out of luck?

Currently the refresh rate is set to 60, which is a bit low for folks that are using those fancy high-FPS gaming monitors.

Maybe we could detect the current frame rate and adjust accordingly.

I'm on the latest version (v1.0.32). When I run the .exe, it briefly starts (appears in task manager) and then disappears. I checked the Event Viewer and found the following errors:

I Have a 27" 16:9 4k 60Hz side by side with an 19" 5:4 1280x1024 60Hz.
And sadly the cursor speed is still much faster on the 19" with your new app running.
With the old application i could dial it in perfectly.. sadly there was no save or auto start function!

For example:

• configure the pointer speed to DPI ratio

Hi,
thanks for the app, it helps a lot when using Windows 10 on both 4K laptop screen and FullHD 24" LCD.
Here's an idea how to distribute the app - using the Windows Desktop Bridge. It solves lots of issues like installer, updates, autostart, uninstall, etc.:

The coarseness of the slider is confusing.

Thanks for the awesome tool! this should really be something windows natively fixes

Unfortunately, on my high-dpi display, this tool causes the cursor to become "laggy", or "jump" from point to point instead of going much smoother. At first, I thought it might be the refresh rate but it seems much lower than that, maybe 10-20 "fps".

Setting the refresh rate to 120 makes this a bit better, but it is still noticeably laggier than on my normal-dpi display. Manually altering the config file to set it to 400 is even better (might be placebo), but unfortunately not a total fix.

Is there anything that can be done to alleviate this?
