1. I would advice people to switch to KDE from Gnome. It has proper
mouse settings and much more.
2. I don't know if it helps for somebody, but I use mouse scroll
emulation when the right mouse button is clicked down then moving the
mouse up and down scrolls. -> I can more dinamically/quickly/accurately
use on my laptop.
It is a system wide solution, set up once, restart the computer and
enjoy in every app. It does not matter if it is Gnome or KDE. Create a
file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf with the content:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "3"
EndSection
I originally used this tweek because my laptop does not have a touchpad,
but I pleased to use with my Bluetooth/USB mouses for the same machine,
it is a much better experience for me.

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.
