Changing mouse speed problems [SOLVED]

salsadoom · 2017-09-10 22:52:44

So, I have a Roccat Kone XTD. Great mouse, neat lights. Problem is, its a 8200 dpi mouse, now I can just lower the dpi speed down to something low, but then whats the point of buying a fancy mouse if it just ends up working like a 10 dollar one. Obvious at 8200 dpi the pointer is crazy fast, so I've googled for days on how to reduce it to a reasonable speed.

Apparently this mouse is crazy or something because none of the properties people are changing exist on this mouse.

        Device Product ID (264):        7805, 11810
        libinput Drag Lock Buttons (291):       <no items>
        libinput Horizontal Scroll Enabled (292):       1

No sensitivity option I see people reference, and no constant deceleration option either. Note I'm not talking about mouse acceleration, but the flat speed.

I can specify an xorg file like

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Mouse0"
        MatchIsPointer "yes"
        Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
        Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
        Option "AccelSpeed" "-1"
        Option "Resolution" "8200"
EndSection

Which makes it "somewhat" usable, but a bit too fast still. Upping the resolution sounds like the right answer, but past a certain point it doesn't actually do anything. Like if I set it to 82000 its the same speed. There any other way to configure this mouse? I'm using KDE, but KDE doesn't include any useful mouse configuration for some reason, although I'm not convinced any other DE does either since there doesn't seem to be a meaningful way to interact with this mouse very much.

(BTW, the roccat-tools package works great, but it doesn't have settings for changing this kind of thing, its just for programming macros and lights)

Fixed.

With libinput, use e.g.:

    Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
    Option "AccelSpeed" "-0.8"

See Mouse_acceleration wiki page.

Thanks! I didn't realize libinput had different syntax like that.

However this still doesn't work well enough. I set it as low as -0.1 and its still just too fast. If I try to lower another decimal place (ie, -0.01) it just ignores the line entirely.

EDIT: Whoops, I'm a rather silly person, it works the opposite of that. I have it going correctly now, thanks a million!!
