Title: Decrease mouse sensitivity below the standard limit
Post by: linmeme on March 11, 2017, 05:39:26 PM
Been at this for hours, xset m is doing nothing for me

xinput
QuoteVirtual core pointer                       id=2   [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                 id=4   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SteelSeries SteelSeries Call of Duty Gaming Mouse   id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SteelSeries SteelSeries Call of Duty Gaming Mouse   id=13   [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)]
    ↳ CM109 USB driver                           id=8   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard          id=9   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard          id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ SteelSeries SteelSeries Call of Duty Gaming Mouse   id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ SteelSeries SteelSeries Call of Duty Gaming Mouse   id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]

xset -q | grep -A1 Pointer
QuotePointer Control:
  acceleration:  10/10    threshold:  100

When trying xset m the speed never changes desptie the output from above changing.

Have you tryed this command xset m 1/1 3 :). If it works just have a start-up script with that.

I get

xinput: command not found

Does anyone have a clue why xinput if off limits? I need to lower the sensitivity very soon or Sparky is out the window.

Sorry for the dramatic tone. I just have low tolerance for over sensitive mouse controls :-)

Solved it, xinput was not installed by default. Now I can enjoy Sparky after all. Happpy days!
