Boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and reset the mouse Tracking Speed in the System/Mouse/Point & Click preference pane.



Reboot normally and test.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
