This application allows you to adjust the mouse wheel speed on Linux systems.

It will install the dependencies and make the necessary adjustments so the user can use it in a simplified way. The speed adjustments should persist even after restarting the system.

Attention:

It has been tested and works well on: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, Linux Mint 22, Linux Mint 21.3.

Partially works on: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS (not on Firefox), Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (not on Firefox).

It does not work on: Ubuntu 23.10, Debian 9 and earlier versions.

If the application does not start correctly, follow these steps to force compatibility mode via Steam:

• Open your Steam Library.

• Right-click on the Scroll Wheel Adjuster app and select Properties.

• In the Compatibility menu, check the option “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”.

• Select “Legacy runtime 1.0”.

Developer’s note:

This application uses IMWheel, a tool freely available for Linux. You can install IMWheel on your own and use it at no cost. However, this application will simplify and automate the entire process.

IMWheel does not work with Wayland-based applications. For example, the pre-installed Firefox on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS uses Wayland, so it won’t work, but it may work with other X11-based applications such as Chromium.

If you encounter any issues with the IMWheel installation, you can remove it via terminal using the following commands:

sudo killall imwheel; apt remove imwheel; apt autoremove; apt purge imwheel
