    <desc>Change how quickly the pointer moves when you use your mouse or
    touchpad.</desc>

  <title>Adjust the speed of the mouse and touchpad</title>

  <p>If your pointer moves too fast or slow when you move your mouse or use
  your touchpad, you can adjust the pointer speed for these devices.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> 
      overview and start typing <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Adjust the <gui>Mouse Speed</gui> or <gui>Touchpad Speed</gui> slider
      until the pointer motion is comfortable for you. Sometimes the most
      comfortable settings for one type of device are not the best for
      the other.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note>
    <p>The <gui>Touchpad</gui> section only appears if your system has a
    touchpad, while the <gui>Mouse</gui> section is only visible when a mouse
    is connected.</p>
