Create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/mouse-deceleration.conf (you will on vanilla install have to create the directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ first) with:
in which you need to replace the MatchProduct value with the (complete) string you see in the output of
Code: Select all
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Logitech M705 evdev"
MatchDriver "evdev"
MatchProduct "Logitech M705"
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "2"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Logitech M705 libinput"
MatchDriver "libinput"
MatchProduct "Logitech M705"
Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
Option "AccelSpeed" "-0.75"
EndSection
xinput list
(and should of course change the identifier accordingly). The "evdev" stanza is not normally needed anymore; it's an older driver. It doesn't hurt to leave it in either. Of course, change the "AccelSpeed" value to taste; range -1 to 1, with negative meaning deceleration, positive acceleration. I advise to pick a value such that the desktop configuration also still makes sense, with its fastest setting too fast and its slowest too slow.Re: my cursor moves too fast
