I am trying to migrate my brother to use Ubuntu.

However, his Logitech G700 mouse's scroll wheel is extremely sensitive.

By sensitive, I mean that, due to the fact that it uses high-resolution scrolling, every minor nudge is interpreted as a scroll attempt.

I have no way to configure this in Ubuntu - I want the OS to ignore every few events from the mouse scroll wheel to make it work properly. xev in a terminal is going crazy whenever I even lay a finger on the scroll wheel.

How can I fix this issue?

Solaar is one I install for my logitech and there is another program called logiops but I can't get it to work and maybe its because of the install instructions are poorly written at its github, which you have to install git and clone it which they left that out in thier instructions.

solarr is in the apt repository, I don't know why logiops isn't.

I don't know about the Logitech G700, but here's what I did for my Perixx MX-2000, maybe it's something like that for you too :

  • Perixx delivered my mouse with a CD-ROM containing the software to configure it's buttons, sensibility, LED and Macro's
  • I installed this software on a Windows Operating System and plugged my mouse in.
  • I configured everything through the Perixx Software
  • Once I was sure that my mouse did exactly what I wanted it to do, I unplugged it.

Now, everything is configured inside the mouse, so I don't need the software anymore. When I plug it in Ubuntu, MacOS or Windows, everything I choose is working.

Shot in the dark but you might have some luck from tweaking your 'input device protocols' as described here :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations

If he likes windows a suitable option might be "Microsoft"
