Hi, I recently added a second monitor and am quite pleased with it. However, it can be a bit frustrating when trying to switch to the desktop on one monitor and the mouse ends up on the other because it’s too close to the edge. I found out that your mouse doesn’t automatically change monitors—especially near the top or bottom edges. I’m wondering if there’s a way for me to set up an area, like the taskbar, manually. I’d prefer a built-in solution from the manufacturer, but if not, another app could work too. I hope there’s a simple answer that’s easy to locate, even if I can’t phrase it well enough for a search. Thanks!
Navigate to Settings >> System >> Display and you should notice this option. When you have monitors with varying resolutions, simply drag the second one up or down, moving the cursor to the second screen only where both displays align. For instance, the arrangement shown in the screenshot allows the cursor to reach the second monitor near the center of screen number 1. This works especially well with a 4K display paired with a 1080P screen, meaning if your resolution gap is smaller, the second monitor will appear larger than in the example.
