Hi,
what I really would like to have is a tiny program which would stay in tray and after clicking on it, it would change speed of mouse (so that I can switch between usb mouse and touchpad). Two predefined speeds of mouse would be fine. Also ability to assign some key to it would be great. Is that possible with autohotkey? If so, just tell me pls the function which changes mouse speed and I will code it by myself. There exists already mouseswitcher, but it is paid.
Thanks for any ideas ;)

I have found:

So I will play a little with it and see :up:

I have found following:

It would be even better if anyone could add option to switch mouse/touchpad manualy through program menu. Unfortunately I do not know autohotkey to do it by myself.
