On my laptop I use both the trackpad and an external USB mouse.

I'd like different settings for each device.

e.g. the mouse is high resolution so I prefer to use a slow mouse settings, and for the trackpad I prefer to use the "Enhance pointer precision" option.

But I can only seem to set these option for both devices, not individually.

Can this be done? [Windows 7]
