Question Perfecting 3 monitor setup

[djlamp94]

So I got 3 different monitors .

2 17 4:3 at 1280x1024 and 1 16:10 1680x1050.

So far no major complains apart from the mouse not appearing at the right place when dragging windows and stuff.

I haven't found a solution to that. If anyone does that would be helpful

Can you better describe what you mean by "mouse not appearing at the right place" ?
Does the layout of the monitors in the Display Settings match your physical layout ?

Yeah not sure what you mean.

Do you mean when you drag a window, the mouse isn't on the top of the window or near it?

Right click on your desktop empty space and select display settings.
You should see three outlines of your monitors.
Identify will tell you which is witch.
Select extend these displays.
Try to drag the monitors so that the top of each matches, and that the positions reflect what you actually have.
If the bottoms match that is good but not likely with different sized monitors.
Try to adjust the text size so that they match.

Changing the scale doesn't help

You're dealing with two entirely different vertical resolutions so of course the mouse is going to act as it does. There is no "fix" for this as it is working as intended.

Well, the "fix" is to have all monitors same size and resolution.
