Hi,

is it possible to use a dual monitor setup, with one on top of the other, and move the mouse between monitors by going up (to the second) or down (to the primary)? so far the only way to move the mouse from one screen to the other, is from left to right (as with a traditional dual setup) and viceversa. I included a pic, similar to my setup, the bottom monitor is my primary, both are the same resolution, with multi-monitor task bar set ON. I guess its kind of weird trying to get the mouse to the top monitor, by moving the cursor to the right, instead of up, but not sure if this is possible.

Thanks!

I was thinking this function could be implemented, if the cursor is a the top border of a monitor for X seconds (if set to zero, the jump immediately), DF could use a ratio of the screen position (i.e. 68% from left corner to the right) to make the mouse jump to the bottom border of the second monitor, with the same ratio, and vice-versa, this way it could work for monitors with different resolutions.

Just an idea....

You should actually be able to fix this up using the Windows Screen Resolution settings, or the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration feature.

Just open either one and click the Identify button to show the monitor ID numbers on the monitors themselves. Then, you can click and drag the monitors to arrange their logical layout, then apply the settings. After that, you should be able to move the mouse vertically between monitors :)

Keith, thank you so much for pointing that out, was out of town, and just came back. I was braking my head with the side movement of the mouse. I did not know this was an adjustment that could be made in windows, and it was already available (as well for DF). Thank you so much.

Keith,
Thank you for clearing up my problem with your comment. Did not know about moving the two monitor icons in the same configuration on my desk. This fixed my problem of moving the pointer to the right to place the pointer on a second monitor, located on the left. This was real frustrating. BAM!

WOrked for me as well, but a quick question: When moving my mouse up or down to/from one monitor to the other, I need got a "running start" to avoid getting it stuck at the top or bottom of the monitor I am moveing from. Any ideas? It is very smooth when configured side by side, but top to bottom it seems to catch on the edge...

@Mark: On the Settings > Mouse Management tab, try enabling the "Prevent mouse cursor from sticking in Sticky Corners" option.

That option should be available on Windows 10 as well.
