Damn XWindows on Linux is unable to scale the mouse sensitivity. Which means that a high sensitivity mouse cannot be used, unless you use the following script which was addapted from this post by Raphael Ahrens. #!/bin/bash if [ "$SEARCH" = "Logitech USB Receiver" ]; then exit 1 fi ids=$(xinput --list | awk -v search="$SEARCH" \ '$0 ~ search {match($0, /id=[0-9]+/);\ if (RSTART) \ print substr($0, RSTART+3, RLENGTH-3)\ }'\ ) for i in $ids do xinput set-prop $i 'Device Accel Profile' -1 xinput set-prop $i 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 2.0 xinput set-prop $i 'Device Accel Velocity Scaling' 1.0 done |
