== Tips and Tricks ==

=== Smoother Scrolling (Scroll Wheel Resolution) ===
By default High Resolution Scrolling might be disabled. To enable:

===== with Solaar: =====
<syntaxhighlight lang="nixos">
sudo nix run nixpkgs#solaar

# sudo needed to detect mouse
</syntaxhighlight>in Solaar find Scroll Wheel Resolution and enable it.

===== with Logiops: =====
add following to your Logiops config file:<syntaxhighlight>
hiresscroll:
    {
        hires: true;
    }; 
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Scroll Speed issues ===
High Resolution Scrolling may feel too fast. You may want to lower scroll speed in your Desktop Environment -> Mouse settings or if it doesn't help enough - possibly will have to disable hires scrolling.
