Change the Tracking Speed for a Trackpad on Mac

When you first set it up, the built-in trackpad on the MacBook can seem a bit slow. You can increase or decrease the tracking speed of the trackpad from System Preferences.

To get started, click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen and choose the “System Preferences” option.

Next, go to the “Trackpad” section.

Here, switch to the “Point & Click” tab at the top, and then use the slider in the “Tracking Speed” section to increase or decrease the tracking speed.

By default, the tracking speed is set to level 4, but you can take it all the way up to level 10.

Here, go to the “Mouse” section.

From the “Point & Click” tab, use the slider in the “Tracking Speed” section to increase or decrease the tracking speed for the mouse.
