How to smoothly move the cursor between different monitors

If you plan to get a second monitor for your workstation , it's always a good idea to have one that supports the same resolution as the other monitor you have. When you have multiple monitors set up in Windows 10, you need to line them up so that their edges are next to each other. This will allow the mouse cursor to move easily between them.

Unfortunately, if the monitors are not the same resolution, the edge of one will be below the other. And you won't be able to move the cursor between different resolution monitors along the unaligned edge. It will be more visible in the corners.

Unfortunately, if the monitors are not the same resolution, the edge of one will be below the other. You will not be able to move the cursor between different resolution monitors along the unaligned edge. It will be more visible in the corners.

Also, to fix this problem you need an app called MouseUnSnag. He does two things; allows you to move the cursor between monitors of different resolution, as if your edges are perfectly aligned. And that disables Windows 10 sticky border between monitors.

Move the cursor between different resolution monitors

First, download and run MouseUnSnag. It cannot be minimized in the system tray, but you can minimize the application window. If you leave it open, it will show you the coordinates of the mouse movement.

Once the application is running, you can move the cursor between your different monitors. It's as if they both have the same resolution and their edges are laid out corner to corner.

Since you are working with two or more monitors, you can move the MouseUnSnag window to your monitor to your secondary monitor to move it away.

Additionally, Windows 10 offers great support for multiple monitors, but it should provide something that allows users to work more comfortably with monitors that don't have the same resolution.

In addition, it may be a good idea to purchase a second monitor with the same resolution as the first. But a user may wish to upgrade to a UHD or even 4k monitor. Working with a high resolution monitor and a low resolution monitor shouldn't be a problem.

Likewise, the way the cursor refuses to move between a blank area on the edge of a screen where the second is missing is how it's supposed to work. However, this is intentional, there must be a kill switch.

Likewise, the behavior is not difficult to "fix" and Windows 10 could easily add an option to activate something like "MouseUnSnag".

Also, it might help users to turn off the sticky border, which makes moving the cursor between monitors of the same resolution a little inconvenient.
