The Logitech M705 Marathon mouse<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My old Logitech mouse finally needed to be replaced. It has lasted me almost 10 years. I just picked up a Logitech M705 wireless marathon mouse<\/a> from Office Depot for 29 dollars. Just a bit smaller than I care for, but a very nice mouse. Only problem; When I use this mouse on Linux, the mouse wheel scrolling is backwards. To fix, use the xinput<\/a><\/strong> command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From your terminal use the xinput –list<\/strong> to show all devices. I found my mouse as device 12<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Notice id=12 is my Logitech M705 mouse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now I run the command xinput –list-props 12<\/strong> to show me a detailed list of all options for my Logitech mouse. I notice the option I need to change is, “Natural Scrolling Enabled (288)<\/strong>“. It is set at 1, which means enabled. This is what is causing the backwards scrolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Natural scrolling option 288 is the culprit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now I need to disable Natural Scrolling, and change the value to 0. I run the command: xinput –set-prop 12 288 0<\/strong>. I then run xinput –list-props 12 to see that the setting is disabled (Set at zero).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Natural scrolling is disabled.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Great! Everything is working except for one thing…. If I log out and sign back in, the mouse-wheel is backwards again. To fix, I add a line at the bottom of my ~\/.bashrc<\/strong> file that runs the command: xinput –set-prop 12 288 0<\/strong>. Now it works everytime I sign in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
