I often use a USB mouse and my laptop's pointing stick at the same time. I can adjust the sensitivity in Mouse Preferences, but the sensitivities of the two mice are so different that I cannot find a compromise setting.
Is there a way to specify a different sensitivity setting for each mouse?
You can use xinput to set the sensitivities/accels for the mice.
$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation 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)]
↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
From that output take the numeric id of the mice. I'll provide an example for my Logitech mouse. For multiple mice rinse and repeat.
So for my logitech I will use xinput get-feedbacks <device name> and xinput set-ptr-feedback <device name> <threshold> <num> <denom>
$ xinput get-feedbacks 8
1 feedback class
PtrFeedbackClass id=0
accelNum is 3
accelDenom is 10
threshold is 4
The accel is set as a fraction so you need to set the nom and denom for it:
$ xinput set-ptr-feedback 8 4 3 1
$ xinput get-feedbacks 8
1 feedback class
PtrFeedbackClass id=0
accelNum is 3
accelDenom is 1
threshold is 4
