Bug Description

I have a Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse that I like to use for both gaming and general use with Ubuntu. Unfortunately, Razer currently makes no drivers for Linux, and the DPI of the mouse is 3500. This makes it extremely sensitive to use for day-to-day things, such as navigating the desktop or browsing the Internet.

There happens to be a tool called RazerCFG online that can lower the DPI of Razer peripherals. However, you need to build and install it through the console, which can be intimidating and off-putting for regular users. It would be great if either this tool could be included as an official app in Ubuntu Software, or the sensitivity of the mouse could be lowered even further than it currently can be in the Ubuntu Settings panel.

It would be a small improvement that could make a big difference for Linux gamers like myself, and help encourage others to try out Ubuntu.

Thank you for reading.
