Customize how your cursor moves in Linux. For the Linux aimers out there!

RawAccelForLinux

Problems

• Linux Minecraft getting problems like this https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/3nxnzg/mouse_stuck_in_topleft_corner_please_help/
• Unplugging and replugging in mouse resets the settings if using mouseId (FIXED: use MOUSE_NAME instead of MOUSE_ID)
• Accel speed also resets to the option used in linux settings

Features

• Works fine in cursor mode (in games are another story)
• Mouse sensor rotation (decimal in degrees)
• Mouse sensitivity multiplier (decimal)

TODO SOON

• Custom function accel curves
• GUI with speed graph thing, profiles, etc

Prequisites

• python3
  • e.g. sudo apt-get install python3

Usage

Finding your mouseId

• Open your terminal

• Type xinput list and enter

• You will find the id number next to mouse name (e.g. Finalmouse Starlight ... id=9)
  

• If you don't see your mouse (i.e. wayland recievers) try booting your linux into XORG (e.g. https://itsfoss.com/switch-xorg-wayland/), this would likely also fix some mouse stutter issues as it did for me

Edit your config

• Edit "ApplyMouseConfig.py" config to your liking
• For mouseId I recommend using your xinput mouse name (in quotations "") rather than integer id number since the id can change after replugging the mouse

Apply config

• Run "ApplyMouseConfig.py" (e.g. ~/etc/RawAccelForLinux$ python3 ApplyMouseConfig.py)
• Changes should be applied immediately but restarting the OS will reset the settings
• So I recommend running "ApplyOnStartup.sh" on startup
  • e.g. with the startup manager:
