Fix Mouse Scaling | Multi-Monitor, Different Size or Resolution FIX

If you have multiple monitors with different resolutions, you might have noticed that moving your mouse between them can be jarring. The cursor jumps between the monitors, and the size of the cursor may appear different on each monitor. This can be a headache, especially if you’re trying to work efficiently with multiple windows open.

The issue is caused by the fact that Windows takes the exact pixel values of each monitor and sticks them next to each other, without taking into account the different resolutions. As a result, the cursor may appear larger or smaller on different monitors, and the mouse movement may feel disconnected.

On Mac, this issue is not present, but unfortunately, Windows does not have a built-in solution for it.

To you, this is how multiple monitors are seen, when they are the same size:
