13 hours ago Even in its unfinished state, the new UI looks good. It solves a big usability gripe I have with today's Chrome OS launcher when using a mouse or trackpad — this design aims to solve that. Customize mouse gestures and make your browsing more productive, and each mouse movement more effective! CrxMouse Chrome™ Gestures brings the power of the browser to your fingertips, boosting your productivity. Meet Chrome OS: the speedy, simple and secure operating system that powers every Chromebook.

It allows Chrome OS computer owners to set-up a single Logitech Unifying Receiver to be used with multiple Logitech Keyboards, Mice, and Trackballs without using a Windows or Mac OS computer. Please note that from the factory a Logitech Unifying Receiver is unpaired with any device inclusive of the device it came with. Google Chrome is preferred by two-thirds of browser users across platforms, securing that position by serving as a major platform of compatibility for web apps, and should not be confused for Chrome OS which is an operating system. Licensed as proprietary freeware, Chrome uses the Apple WebKit rendering engine for iOS versions.
This article was originally written to explain how to increase the mouse tracking speed on Chrome OS devices (Chromebook and Chromebook Pixel) but as I was writing it I discovered two other issues that I’m sure others have experienced.
The Problem
After connecting my Apple Magic Mouse to my Chromebook Pixel via Bluetooth I noticed that the tracking speed was rather slow. I navigated to the lower right hand side of my screen, clicked on my account photo and selected Settings. Then I navigated to “Touchpad and Mouse Settings” where I expected to see a tracking option, but none existed!
The Solution
Directly above the “Touchpad and Mouse Settings” option is the setting! I simply overlooked it.
The New Problem
Unfortunately, I quickly discovered two other issues though. The tracking speed option really isn’t as fast as I’d like, and Australian scrolling doesn’t work on the Apple Magic Mouse!
If I identify a solution or an update comes out I’ll update this post.
The New Solution
Sadly, I haven’t found one. This is something that will require development to the core Chrome OS. I suspect others have submitted this as a feature or bug report though.
