Reduce the Mouse Sensitivity
- looking for mouse device id or name
- setting mouse sensivity
- telling system to do this after logging in create script:
$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ A4Tech USB Full Speed id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ A4Tech USB Full Speed id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ CHESEN USB Keyboard id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ CHESEN USB Keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
$ xinput --set-prop 10 "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 4
don't know why there are two same names so have choosen id by random. and it worked out.
#!/bin/bash
xinput --set-prop 10 "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 4
xinput --set-prop 10 "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 1
then run command:$ gnome-session-properties
and add the script to the list.don't forget about
chmod +x
.
information was found here and here.
An other option is xset.
The command format is
xset mouse <acceleration> <threshold>
To reduce mouse acceleration
xset mouse 1 1
To increase the mouse speed
xset mouse 10 1
mouse
may be abbreviated to m
. The parameters for the mouse are acceleration
and threshold
. The acceleration can be specified as an integer, or as a simple fraction. The mouse, or whatever pointer the machine is connected to, will go acceleration
times as fast when it travels more than threshold
pixels in a short time. This way, the mouse can be used for precise alignment when it is moved slowly, yet it can be set to travel across the screen in a flick of the wrist when desired. One or both parameters for the m option can be omitted, but if only one is given, it will be interpreted as the acceleration. If no parameters or the flag 'default' is used, the system defaults will be set.
If the threshold
parameter is provided and 0, the acceleration
parameter will be used in the exponent of a more natural and continuous formula, giving precise control for slow motion but big reach for fast motion, and a progressive transition for motions in between. Recommended acceleration
value in this case is 3/2 to 2, but not limited to that range.
acceleration
defines how many times faster the cursor will move than the default speed. threshold
is the velocity required for acceleration to become effective, usually measured in device units per 10ms. acceleration can be a fraction, so if you want to slow down the mouse you can use 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ... if you want to make it faster you can use 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, ...
