Frequently Asked Questions

How to test if mouse drag function is working properly?

Use our drag test tool to click and drag in the test area. Normal drag function should show smooth trajectory lines, accurate distance calculations, and responsive feedback. If dragging feels jerky, unresponsive, or inaccurate, there might be hardware or driver issues.

What is drag accuracy and how is it measured?

Drag accuracy refers to how closely your actual drag path matches an ideal straight line between start and end points. It's measured as a percentage - higher values indicate more precise, linear movement. Professional users typically achieve 80-95% accuracy.

Why is my mouse drag function inconsistent or jumpy?

Common causes include: dirty mouse sensor, worn mouse pad surface, low battery (wireless mice), interference, outdated drivers, or system performance issues. Clean your mouse, update drivers, and ensure proper surface conditions.

How to improve mouse drag precision?

Use a high-quality mouse pad, clean the optical sensor regularly, adjust DPI settings appropriately, disable mouse acceleration, maintain consistent hand position, and practice smooth movement techniques. Gaming mice typically offer better precision control.

What drag speed is considered normal?

Normal drag speeds vary by user preference and application. For general use: 100-500 pixels/second is typical. Gaming may require higher speeds (500-1500 px/s), while precision work often uses slower speeds (50-200 px/s) for better control.
