I just switched from Windows 10 to Bazzite with KDE 6. I have experience with linux before, but not as a main OS. I have a Logitech Performance MX. I used SetPoint on Windows to fine-tune things.
For some reason, my scroll wheel acts differently in almost every program. Firefox is the only one that feels normal. My scroll wheel clicks as I scroll, and in Windows that would do 3 lines up or down.
For some reason, nothing follows the clicking, so all my scrolling is super fine-grained. I tried Solaar and that gave me an option to turn off smooth scrolling, but now I need to scroll 6 or more times to see any movement. Increasing sensitivity in KDE just means after 6 times of nothing, the next one is a huge leap. There’s no middle ground it seems and I’m losing my mind trying to fix this.
Is there anything else I can do?

I had the same issue with the MX Master 3S. It’s caused by the hi-res scroll wheel feature of Logitech’s HID++. If you have a Bolt dongle, try using that instead of Bluetooth.
If that’s not a fix, try blacklisting the
hid-logitech-hidpp
kernel module.Arch wiki article about module blacklisting: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_module#Blacklisti…
About kernel parameters in GRUB (should be the default option in Bazzite): wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters#GRUB
The easiest way to do it in GRUB is to open the
/etc/default/grub
file with root privileges, find the line starting withGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=…
, insertmodule_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp
to the end separated by a single space, save the file, then rungrub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
. This is assuming that Bazzite’s GRUB is configured the same way as Arch. I’ll try it in a VM and edit the comment as necessary.jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
No dice :/
This is my original grub file:
I added:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp"
and that didn’t work.
I also tried this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet" "module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp"
and that didn’t work.
Either I’m formatting this incorrectly, or my setup is different somehow.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rhgb quiet module_blacklist=hid-logitech-hidpp"
and don’t forget to run
sudo grub2-makecfg -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
to apply the changes. When you reboot, presse
on the GRUB screen to make sure the boot parameters are passed correctly.jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
I can’t wait to try this when I get home today. I can’t thank you enough for the details. I’ll let you know how it goes later.
I use the unifying receiver that came with the mouse.
