  Hmm… this might break the OS completely, but you could delete the module’s binary files. Can’t load it if it doesn’t exist in the first place.

  Run find /lib/modules -iname ‘*hidpp*’ and move the files to a location where you can recover them later if needed, then reboot.

    Hell, this is worth a shot.

    I 'm already shopping around for a new distro because of this. Games are completely unplayable because of the scroll wheel. The tiniest movement will swap weapons, even if I’m not touching the wheel at all.

      If you decide to ditch Bazzite, try either Garuda or EndeavourOS. They’re both Arch-based, which is not something I’d recommend for a beginner, but the rolling release will ensure that you always have the latest software.

      I’ve found some more workarounds for a similar scrolling-related HID++ issue: bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216885#c52

        Alright, I found a solution based on the last comment on that bug report!

        Scrolling applications in plasma task switcher with G903 Lightspeed (wireless mode) is so fast that is unusable, but sudo modprobe -r hid_logitech_hidpp fix this, are these bugs all related?

        Using that command turned every tiny scroll input into a full scroll. Pairing that with Solaar, disabling smooth scrolling, now everything works correctly!

        Forgot to mention, I switched to Nobara. I had some difficulties with your recommended to remove the hidpp module file altogether and saw the frustrations that I’d have with an immutable distro. So far, Nobara has been super smooth.
