I have built a new version of the dragsens utility, which allows one to change the mouse sensitivity for detecting mouse drag actions in Windows.
This new version fulfills a request by Zach to add the capability to set the horizontal and vertical sensitivity independently. This is accomplished through two new command-line parameters, /X and /Y. Specifying just one of these parameters will change the sensitivity in only that axis:
dragsens /x 8
dragsens /y 6
It is also possible to provide both parameters at once:
dragsens /x 8 /y 6
Providing only a number on the command line will change both the horizontal and vertical axes to the same number of pixels.
dragsens 8
You may download the version 1.2 executable here:

If you’d like to examine or modify the source code or build your own executable rather than relying on the executable above, you may download the Visual Studio 2012 project and source here:

Please let me know if you encounter any problems or have any questions.

Anyone else not able to download the file when you click on the link? Just refreshes the page..
Sorry, and thanks for letting me know! The first link was indeed messed up. I’ve fixed it now. I’d have gotten to it sooner, but my comment notifications were getting sent to my spam folder for some reason.
Just wanted to thank you for this little app–I used the earlier version and it has made my life in Win7 much easier…’-}}
I appreciate your having taken the time to update it to allow each value to be set differently–it’s nice that you kept the original single-set format too–and that you added a bit of documentation on how it works.
