There should be also a separate setting for laptops' touchpad edge scrolling to avoid constant tinkering with the setting, because obviously touchpad accelerates differently. At least I find that the default current slow scrolling is ok for my touchpad, but I hate it for my mouse wheels. For sure I'd rather live with that tinkering than current no-setting-at-all situation.
But the way the mouse settings were recently (13.04) dumbed down even more (additional touchpad settings removed and sensitivity and speed slider becoming one single slider - seriously?), I think it is more likely to see whole mouse settings being removed altogether by Gnome team than to see this ever being addressed with an additional setting... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse scrolling speed Status in GNOME Control Center: New Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: New Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in Mir: Triaged Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This has been driving me nuts for a while now. The scroll wheel on my desktop mouse (it's an MS wireless optical mouse model 1008) scrolls rather fast. Instead of moving a few lines, it scrolls half a page or more with a very gentle scroll. The bluetooth mouse I use with my laptop does not do this so it's probably somewhat hardware specific. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the speed or sensitivity. I found an answer here from about a year ago (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1339) that suggests there isn't a way but I'm wondering if anything has changed since then. I've also skimmed through synaptic but didn't see anything promising (like gsynaptic for touchpads). Thanks. See https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 for more information.
