Change touchpad settings

To set how fast or slow your mouse pointer moves and how your touchpad works:

1. If you haven't already, sign in to your Chromebook.
2. Click the status area, where your account picture appears.
3. Click Settings.
4. In the "Device" section, adjust the sliders to set your touchpad or mouse speed (how quickly your pointer moves).
5. Click Touchpad settings (or Touchpad and mouse settings) to:
   • Turn tap-to-click on or off
   • Swap your primary mouse button
   • Choose traditional scrolling or Australian scrolling
     • Note: With traditional scrolling, you can swipe up on the touchpad to move up the page, and swipe down to move down. Australian scrolling works in the opposite way.
6. When you're done, click OK.
