Wrong KDE mouse devices

KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
Kernel Version: 6.3.2-1-cachyos-lto (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

KDE shows 3 devices in the mouse section. Actually there is only one connected.

Generic usb audio consumer control ¿?
Logitech MX Keys (this is the keyboard)
Logitech MX Master 3 (this is the only mouse connected)

Which mouse is KDE really using?
Where does this "generic usb audio consumer control" device come from?

I have a problem with the mouse scroll being too fast but with this mouse mix in the configuration....

Re: Wrong KDE mouse devices

Which USB audio device do you have attached that might get registered as a pointing device? What pointing device(s) does

libinput list-devices

give you, which is the underlying lib KDE uses to query your input devices?

As for "really using" most likely the one you are "really using" so seeing as you apparently identified the correct mouse, to be sure sure, check which of the devices identified from the previous command give you events in

libinput debug-events

(as root) when doing a scroll (... and post the output from that) . FWIW "too fast mouse scroll" with logitech could actually be a kernel feature that might have a regression on your device, a quick test/fix whether you might be affected is to unload the hid_logitech_hidpp kernel module, and in doubt see the following discussions:  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=282535  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=282852

Using "libinput debug-events" I have seen that KDE uses the proper mouse.

Thanks for the links. I will give it a try.
