Sensitivity and Mouse - fe-art/Toolscreen GitHub Wiki

Mouse Sensitivity

Under Advanced > Inputs > Mouse, there are two sensitivity settings:

  • Mouse Sensitivity - How fast your mouse moves in normal modes like full screen.
  • Windows Mouse Speed - How fast your cursor moves in menus (inventory, pause menu, etc.).

Important: Neither of these settings affects your boat eye sensitivity or eye measurements. Toolscreen always has raw input enabled, so your in-game sensitivity value stays untouched.

Eye Zoom Sensitivity Override

To automatically apply a low sensitivity when entering zoom mode:

  1. Go to Advanced > Modes > Eye Zoom > Sensitivity Override.
  2. Enable it.
  3. Drag the slider to a low value (e.g., 0.001).

Now when you enter eye zoom mode, your cursor moves very slowly. When you leave, sensitivity returns to normal.

Using Preemptive Mode Instead of Eye Zoom

If you want to use the eye zoom pie chart for preemptive in the stronghold but with normal sensitivity, use the dedicated Preemptive mode instead of eye zoom:

  1. Go to Advanced > Hotkeys > Add New.
  2. Pick a key.
  3. Set the Target Mode to Preemptive.

Preemptive mode has the same resolution as eye zoom and includes the pie chart and entity counter, but it does not have the eye zoom section on the left and sensitivity stays normal.

This way, you can use eye zoom with low sensitivity for eye measurements and preemptive mode with normal sensitivity for stronghold navigation.

Alternatively, you can stay in zoom mode for preemptive but set a sensitivity hotkey to toggle sensitivity without switching modes (see Hotkeys).

Custom Cursors

Toolscreen can display custom cursors that change depending on the game state. Go to Advanced > Inputs > Mouse and enable Custom Cursors.

By default:

  • Title screen / Wall screen: Arrow cursor
  • In a world: Crosshair cursor

You can adjust the size of the crosshair, but note that on OBS it may not look correct unless the size is a multiple of 16 (this is an OBS bug).

Custom cursor settings

Using Custom Cursor Files

You can use your own cursor files:

  1. In the cursor settings, click Open Cursor Folder. This opens a folder in File Explorer.
  2. Drag in a .cur or .ico file.
  3. Tab back into the game.
  4. The custom cursor will appear as an option in the dropdown.

Custom cursor files are more likely to scale properly in OBS than the built-in ones.

Check out the community cursors section on the Toolscreen Discord server for ready-to-use cursor files shared by other users.
