How do I set different settings for different mice?

I have two different mice (one is always used on the system, the other is wireless and moves between systems as needed). Unfortunately, the wireless one is much more sensitive than the wired mouse, and the mouse settings panel doesn't seem to have a way to set different settings for different mice.

Solution 1:

You can have multiple hardware-specific configurations now, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

See X/Config, or New configuration world order which has some more specific examples.

If anyone is interested in helping improve X via wiki editing, a really easy thing to do would be to copyedit the directions at X/Config to be in the form of xorg.conf.d snippets instead of whole xorg.conf's. If not, us developers will get to it eventually, but it could save time that developers could then spend on fixing more X bugs. :-)
