Why does mouse behavior differ in Windows 8?

0

Why do the default mouse driver and settings feel different in Windows 8, as compared to Windows 7. Is there is a way to make the mouse behave more like it did in Windows 7?

Others have also noticed this problem.

The mouse settings are identical between the windows 7 and windows 8 installations since they are both clean installs but the mouse feels different. I'm guessing there was some change to the default mouse driver to have better touch support or something. – keyoh – 2012-10-28T18:31:21.083

You can change the pointer speed in mouse properties->pointer options and adjust there. Also, try turning off "Enhance Pointer Precision"
