Mouse haptic feedback in Windows 11 adds physical vibrations to your clicks and window snaps, so you can feel what happens on screen.

On a regular stable build the setting may not appear at all.
You can turn the vibration on or off, and adjust its strength, in Settings Bluetooth & devices Mouse Haptic signals This guide covers three ways to control it: the Settings app , the Registry Editor through a command, and the Logi Options+ app for Logitech mice. The default is on.
Open Settings with Win+I, then go to Bluetooth & devices Mouse and switch Haptic signals on or off. The default is on, and the change applies immediately with no restart. The setting only appears on compatible mice and Windows 11 Dev 25H2 build 26300.8142 or Beta 25H2 build 26220.8148 or later.
Option One
Turn Mouse Haptic Feedback On or Off in Settings
It works the same on Home and Pro, and you don’t need administrator rights for it. Your mouse must be connected and must support haptics. If it doesn’t, Windows will not show the Haptic signals setting.
- Press
Win+Ito open Settings . The Settings window opens on the Home or System page. - Click Bluetooth & devices on the left side. Then click Mouse on the right side. You should now see the mouse options, such as the primary button and cursor speed. (See screenshot below)
- Turn Haptic signals on or off. The default is on. When it is on, you can also adjust the strength of the vibration.
- Close Settings. The change applies right away, and you don’t need to restart.
If you can’t find Haptic signals, check two things. First, make sure your PC runs one of the builds named above or a newer one. Second, make sure your mouse supports haptic feedback. To undo the change, come back to the same page and flip the switch again.
Option Two
Turn Mouse Haptic Feedback On or Off Using Registry
The Registry Editor method lets you change the vibration setting from the command line, with no third-party software. It requires administrator privileges. It is useful if you want to script the change or if you prefer typing a command to clicking through Settings. It affects how compatible mice vibrate during normal use.
- Right-click the Start button and choose Terminal (Admin). If User Account Control asks for permission, click Yes. A Windows Terminal window opens with administrator rights.
- Copy the command for the state you want from the sections below, paste it into the window, and press Enter.
- Check that the command finishes without an error message. Then close the terminal.
If the change doesn’t show up in Settings right away, close and reopen Settings. You can also sign out and back in. To undo the change, run the other command.
Turn On Mouse Haptic Feedback
This is the default setting.
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\EnhancedPenSupport" /v MouseFeedbackEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Turn Off Mouse Haptic Feedback
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\EnhancedPenSupport" /v MouseFeedbackEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Option Three
Turn Mouse Haptic Feedback On or Off in Logi Options+
If you own a compatible Logitech device, such as the MX Master 4, you can manage haptic feedback in the Logi Options+ app. You pick your mouse in the app and change the haptic feedback details there. This setting overrides any changes made in Windows Settings or the Registry. You need Logi Options+ installed, and the mouse must be connected.
- Open Logi Options+.
- Click your supported mouse on the home screen. The page for that device opens.
- Click HAPTIC FEEDBACK.
- Click the haptic feedback details. The options for the vibration appear.
- Turn Haptic feedback on or off. The default is on.
To undo the change, open the same page and flip the switch back.
If you turned haptics on in Settings or the Registry and your mouse still doesn't vibrate, check Logi Options+ first.
Summary
Mouse haptic feedback creates physical vibrations during Windows 11 tasks. You can configure it through Settings, the Windows Registry, or Logi Options+ for compatible hardware. The default configuration keeps the feature on. Disabling haptic feedback within Logi Options+ overrides any configuration applied through the other methods, so keep that in mind when the results don't match what you set.
