How to improve mouse speed?

I am so slow with getting the mouse to the right square. Even if i see the solution quickly it takes relatively long to move. I am using a Macbook Air and i just use the trackpad. If i increase the tracking speed i just end up clicking the wrong squares. I see people move so smoothly executing a puzzle sequence, i wonder how i can improve my speed. Can anybody give me some tips? For clarification, i am purely talking about executing the moves themselves with the mouse/trackpad, not in spotting them or recognising patterns.

You can also try Puzzle Storm and Puzzle Racer practice games.
Get a metronome and move steady to the beat, and little at a time raise the tempo. Dunno if it will work with a mouse but it's a tried and true method for playing piano.

Mouse doesn't really matter tbh if you have a office mouse just use that n play just increase the accuracy try accuracy trainers and if you don't have an office mouse you could buy this:

Very cheap and easy to use. It will feel heavy at the beginning but you will get used to it.

You could try enabling keyboard entry (prefs -> game behavior), which is difficult to learn, but faster than mouse entry.

Thanks for the recommendation! I couldn’t buy this in my country so I did a little research and bought this www.amazon.nl/dp/B07W5JKP66?psc=1&smid=A17D2BRD4YMT0X&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_titleToDp

Now there shouldn’t be any reason technically why I wouldn’t be able to improve my speed
