Why does the mouse scroll speed go crazy after booting Windows, and why does unplugging it and plugging again...
1
I'm using a Microsoft wireless keyboard+mouse combo and I mainly use Arch Linux. Whenever I boot MS Windows on my computer, when going back to Linux, my mouse scroll wheel is insanely fast. Apparently, this is a common issue, as is also widely known (1) (2) (3) (4) that unplugging the usb receiver and plugging it again will solve the problem. I can confirm this works. Upon search, we can see that this is not restrict to Microsoft hardware, but Logitech and others as well. The question is WHY ? What is the explanation? I use full disk encryption for my Linux system, including the boot partition. This rules out the hypothesis that Windows is interfering with Linux.
