Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse

The values under the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse allows to change the behavior of the mouse (aka pointer).

MouseSensitivity

The value MouseSensitivity determines the speed (or sensitivity) of the mouse: from 1 (slowest) to 20 (fastest). The default is 10.
In cmd.exe, this setting can be changed with reg.exe: 
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse" /t REG_SZ /v MouseSensitivity /d "10" /f
In PowerShell, this setting can be queried and set like so: 
(get-itemProperty 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Mouse' ).MouseSensitivity
set-itemProperty 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Mouse' -name MouseSensitivity -value 20
See also this simple PowerShell script to change the speed of the mouse.

SendMessage to have changes take effect

Apparently, the WinAPI function SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, "Environment") should be executed in order for the changes to take effect.
