In my other XPS 13 DE Settings<\/a> post, I linked to an article about mouse lag<\/a> that helped my Microsoft 3600 mouse<\/a> behave better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I noticed it started acting up again \ud83d\ude14 so I revisited the problem. My previous settings had apparently been wiped out with my upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04. But in my search I found some other settings that might help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’m applying both the settings from this post and my previous one, as I feel like the settings in this post additionally help smooth out mouse wheel scrolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this bug report<\/a> you can also change the latency settings for your bluetooth (BT) mouse. I found it easiest to execute these commands as root<\/code> so I could use tab completion to navigate the bluetooth mac addresses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BT device info file is at \/var\/lib\/bluetooth\/<BT adapter MAC>\/<BT device MAC>\/info<\/code>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I type vi \/var\/lib\/bluetooth\/<TAB>EF<TAB>info<\/code> to get to the right file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

vi \/var\/lib\/bluetooth\/90\\:78\\:41\\:CA\\:1E\\:02\/EF\\:E5\\:F1\\:99\\:EA\\:24\/info<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
My file started out with these default ConnectionParameters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[ConnectionParameters]\nMinInterval=6\nMaxInterval=6\nLatency=60\nTimeout=300<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I changed those values to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[ConnectionParameters]\nMinInterval=6\nMaxInterval=7\nLatency=0\nTimeout=216<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Then I restarted the BT system with systemctl restart bluetooth<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hopefully this quick tip helps you iron out the kinks with your MS 3600 BT Mouse!<\/p>\n
