[Solved] MX Master 2S Scroll wheel ~4x less responsive than normal

Hi there,

I've been using Arch exclusively as my daily work driver for years now, but this one has me stumped:

Exclusively on my Arch install, the vertical scroll wheel is significantly less sensitive *but only sometimes*. However for the past 3 days it seems to have become a permanent thing. When I run `xev`, the missing scroll wheel events do not come through. The MX Master 2S has a 'click' to the scroll wheel, and I can rock back and forward approximately 3 clicks each way without triggering a scroll event. `imwheel` doesn't help, because all it does is make the scroll events that do work produce a larger amount of scrolling - the resolution of scroll events remains the same.

I tried installing `logios-git` and setting it up (as per this wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lo … MX_Master), but it doesn't make a difference.

As soon as I plug the receiver into my Mac Mini, it works as expected. I use barrier server on linux for software KVM (disabling it entirely makes no difference), and when I scroll on my mac via barrier, the scroll is equally unresponsive.

I've tried using different ports, as the receiver is usually plugged into a USB hub, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I'm not sure what to try next. Any advice on how to debug this would be very welcome!

Thanks

I figured out how to force high definition scrolling which seems to work consistently now, thanks to Logiops

In `/etc/logid.conf`:

hiresscroll:
    {
        hires: true;
        invert: false;
        target: false;
    };
