Note: This option is available for Windows 8 and later. Select Enable swipe from edges to enable edge swipe gestures, for example, swiping from the right edge of the touchpad to show the Charm Bar, when working with Windows. To move past the edge, just move the mouse quickly. The Mouse pointer sticks at window edges option makes the mouse pointer pause for a while at the edges of the virtual machine window and you won't move the mouse outside of the virtual machine window by mistake. When working with a virtual machine in Window view mode, you may often need to move the mouse pointer to the edges of the virtual machine window to display various guest OS items: for example, to display the Start menu in Windows 8, hidden taskbar in Windows XP, or macOS menu bar when any of the guest macOS applications is running in full screen. Note: You're not recommended to optimize keyboard for games when not playing games.

If you choose this option, signals from these keys will be processed faster. If you have this problem, choose Don't optimize for games.Ĭhoose Optimize for games from the Keyboard menu if you actively use the modifier keys Option (Alt), Ctrl, and Shift in action games. In some rare cases, SmartMouse may detect an application as a game and the mouse starts working incorrectly with the application.

If your mouse accidentally moves to macOS when you're playing a game, select this option to make the mouse work in the virtual machine only. However, when you start a game, SmartMouse automatically captures the mouse input in the virtual machine so that you couldn't move the mouse to macOS by mistake and automatically releases the mouse when you quit the game. If you're working with a guest OS application, the mouse moves freely between the guest operating system and macOS. If you play games in a virtual machine, the Mouse menu allows you to set how to use a mouse: Click Hardware and select Mouse & Keyboard in the sidebar.If the Parallels Desktop menu bar is visible at the top of the screen, choose Actions > Configure.Click the Parallels icon in the menu bar and choose Configure.
