Microsoft wireless mouse scroll speed too high

Apparently this could have something to do with using it along with Windows.

Taken from the Ubuntu Forum you can try:

Unplug the mouse receiver from the usb and then plug it back in (while running ubuntu). Whamo blamo you're fixed.

Might work for you to, give it a try.

This is known bug with some Microsoft mice. It is not just quick scroll, if you try to turn scroll wheel very slow you can see that scroll has non-linear speed. Moreover bug persists only if you previously boot to MS Windows (and may be in some other cases). You can fix it by:

• resetmsmice app
• unplug & plug mouse receiver
• resetmsmice kernel patch (can be found in tar.gz distribution of resetmsmice)
• fix-ms-mouse-scroll kernel patch

All of this fixes are struggling with the same problem. fix-ms-mouse-scroll patch supports newer kernels and some new mice (at least Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse) in compare to resetmsmice (on which it is based on).

Try adding this line in xorg.conf under the "InputDevice " section and "{your device name}" subsection:

Option  "VertScrollDelta" "{scrollspeed}"

where smaller values result in faster scrolling.
