Kierax2016 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hi all. I run a 3x 24inch screen setup on my computer, when moving the mouse from 3 across 2 ( middle ) and onto 1, or the other way, the cursor gets "stuck" at the edges of each monitor, Unless I move the mouse quite firmly this always occurs. Is their a setting I have missed to stop this happening? Using Windows 8.1 Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If you go into your display properties, are your monitors showing on the screen lined up properly? Also are you using Ultramon or Display Fusion, or any other 3rd party app? Kierax2016 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhangm Supervisor Posted October 13, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted October 13, 2014 They do show lined up yes. I am using DisplayFusion at the minute but only to set unique wallpapers to each screen. You can tweak the built-in stickiness in regedit: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\MouseCornerClipLengthTry reducing the above between 6 (default) and 0. This affects the distance from the edge at which stickiness is triggered.I guess another key is: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\MouseMonitorEscapeSpeedSetting this to 0 should eliminate the stickiness at any distance from the edge.

Kierax2016 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not sure if I should edit or double post... I have two of my three monitors connected by DVi and the final one, is connected by HDMi from my GPU, to DVi to the monitor, I then have a smaller monitor connected via VGA on my onboard GPU, this worked fine in Windows 7. However upon your comment about screen position, I removed the VGA lead and the problem weirdly went away. Many thanks however, I've been out of the PC game for too long.

Kierax2016 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Another post here on this: It happened again! today when relaxing online, I had the same issue. I took some time this evening, to have a Google about and found this article http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/mouse-stickiness-change-with-multiple-monitors/a4eb4cc9-def1-4e80-b823-83460339afb8 Which details the issue perfectly, thought I would post here to help any others who may come to Neowin with the same issue.
