Can I have my trackpad use one speed, while my actual mouse have a different speed?
I want my trackpad's mouse speed to be the second notch up in the settings, like this:
I have an actual mouse whose speed I want to be all the way up in the settings, like this:
My USB dongle for the mouse is always plugged in. It's a lenovo laptop with the built-in mousepad software that comes with it.
Solution 1:
Just came across EitherMouse. It's working well for me so far
•Instantly changes settings when any mouse is used: ◦swap buttons ◦mirror cursor ◦adjust speeds ◦and more...
•Leave multiple mice on a pc and automatically swap buttons on each mouse.
•Have a left-handed and a right-handed mouse always connected and ready to use.
•Match speeds across different mice, ie touchpad and mouse with different speeds.
•Accommodate left and right handed users easily on multi-user or public workstations.
•Helps prevent RSI/injury issues by allowing seemless switching between hands.
•Quickly change mouse settings from system tray if only one mouse is used

Solution 2:
A potential avenue to solve your problem is that some mice, like several --but not necessarily all-- Logitech, for example my G500, have their own independent (eg. dpi settings in gaming mouses) or semi-independent (appears to be an offset or acceleration added to the basic windows speed in regular mouses) speed control in their custom driver.
In a way, such a mouse would solve your problem: the touchpad would use the windows setting, and the mouse with a custom driver would work with different settings.
