    High DPI mouse too sensitive in desktop

    Anyone know a way to lower the sensitivity of the mouse in KDE plasma more than the settings slider allows? I have a Razer deathadder v3 mouse set for 3200 DPI, and I'm running openrazer's driver for it. In game the mouse feels great, but on the desktop it's just too fast. I could lower the DPI setting, and raise it again every time I enter and exit a game. That sounds like a hassle though.

    Have you tried just using System Settings?

      I'll bet there is a way to change dpi without opening an app or system settings.
      Though every mouse I've had with adjustable settings (3) has had a button for that.

      The v3 appears to have one on the bottom of the mouse?

      Maybe one of the apps has a tray icon or key bindings to do this as well

        Yea. I have the pointer speed slider at the lowest setting. It seems that the pointer speed doesn't have as much range as the same control does in Windows 11, which is what I came from before Kubuntu. I have been using the DPI button on the bottom of the mouse as a workaround, but I'm kind of surprised the KDE desktop doesn't have more control.

          I spent a few days testing different things, and I figured out that the pointer acceleration makes a massive difference. I decided to turn it off, and now things feel a lot more familiar to me. I think the acceleration might be exaggerated with a higher polling mouse. Hope this helps anyone looking for similar problems.
