I'm looking to optimize my mouse sensitivity for gaming, where precision is key. On Windows, I can simply adjust my DPI and then calculate the new sensitivity using a straightforward formula. However, on Linux, particularly with Gnome on Pop!_OS, I find the process more complicated. I can set a precise mouse speed value using gsettings, but the scale is from -1 to 1, which doesn't align with the DPI adjustments I want. How can I perform the necessary calculations to work within Gnome's settings? Also, I have Arch with Hyprland on my PC. I know how to adjust sensitivity there, but I'm unsure of its range. Is it similar to Windows or Gnome, or something entirely different?

You might want to check out the documentation on pointer acceleration, especially the flat profile section. It explains how the multiplication factor works within the Gnome environment.
Got it! So, if I'm reading it correctly, the factor adjusts the speed to be 1 plus the value you set between -1 and 1, or it defaults to 0.005, whichever is larger?
