• Mate: mouse too sensitive

    From Ottavio Caruso@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 14 17:40:01 2024
    My Logitech wireless mouse has always been a bot over-sensitive, but
    now, going into its 7th years of life, has become even more erratic. I
    am not complaining about the speed, just the sensitivity. I have to be
    very careful not moving the mouse too much in order not to close/open
    windows, accidentally removing text, etc.

    I have configured "mate-mouse-properties" to the lowest possible
    sensitivity (changing the acceleration doesn't make much difference),
    but it is still too sensitive.

    This the output from xinput:

    Any clue?

    A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

    libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled (316): 0
    [...]

    Any clue?

    I have slowed down a mouse by the following line in my .xinitrc:
    xinput set-prop "Logitech USB Optical Mouse" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0.5 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 2

    Adjusting the coordinate transformation matrix might be one way to go.

    Kind regards,
    Christoph
