Without it needs to be a setting working fir everyone. Thank you for the explanation and I respect your decision based on that. But please allow me to share a bit information. 1) I'm not a gamer. I'm a pure office user. I'm using pretty common optical mice and thinkpad trackpoints. So is everyone I helped with their computer problems. When I use my mice, it is always for web task and text editing. With those being my background, I still have hard time triggering screen corner reliably with the default 150 ms delay. 2) I feel this has more to do with how fast someone works, and how fast they expect their computer to react, like: Experienced users vs Casual users. Not so much about the actual hardware capabilities. 3) For the sake of discussion, here I can assume it is affected by how precise the pointing devices are -- but the hardware quality in general has been improved. Those "crappy" mice that come with the computer manufacturers, they have been all fairly precise optical mice for more than a decade now. These $5 mice, as cheap and common as they are, don't work well with the default 150 ms delay either. 4) Maybe we can do some test with some cheap mice of the last decade and see our 150 ms default value is still suitable for new hardware? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
