Mausgeschwindigkeit einzelner Mäuse unter Ubuntu anpassen

Mäuse mit einer sehr hohen Abtastrate bewegen den Pointer viel zu schnell. Leider gibt es keinen Regler, mit dem man die Geschwindigkeit unmittelbar herunterregeln kann. Helfen kann das Kommando "xinput":

In Kürze:

1. Open a terminal
2. Run the command: xinput --list --short

   ⎡ Virtual core pointer                     id=2 [master pointer  (3)]
   ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer               id=4 [slave  pointer  (2)]
   ⎜   ↳ Razer USA, Ltd DeathAdder Mouse          id=6 [slave  pointer  (2)]
   ⎜   ↳ Razer USA, Ltd DeathAdder Mouse          id=7 [slave  pointer  (2)]
   ⎜   ↳ Razer DeathAdder                         id=11 [slave  pointer  (2)]
   ⎜   ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation         id=12 [slave  pointer  (2)]
   ⎣ Virtual core keyboard                    id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
      ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard              id=5 [slave  keyboard (3)]
      ↳ Power Button                             id=8 [slave  keyboard (3)]
      ↳ Power Button                             id=9 [slave  keyboard (3)]
      ↳ Dell Dell USB Keyboard                   id=10 [slave  keyboard (3)]

3. Note the name of your device. In my case, manipulating ‘Razer DeathAdder’ worked.
4. Set the constant deceleration for the device:

   xinput --set-prop "Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 5

That’s it. You might have to play around with the value, but 5 slowed down my mouse sufficiently.

• To see the current settings for the device:

  xinput --list-props "Razer DeathAdder"

• To turn off mouse acceleration:

  xinput --set-prop "Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 1

To perform the tuning automatically, I simply created a file containing the script below, ran chmod +x on it and added it to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications in GNOME:

#!/bin/sh
xinput --set-prop "Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 5
xinput --set-prop "Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 1
