I recently changed my keyboard/mouse combo to a Perixx Periduo-712. When I restarted the Pi, I found that my mouse pointer had become very slow. A quick look around the Internet revealed a fix as follows:
To speed-up the mouse, you need to amend a line in the cmdline.txt file in the boot directory. Here’s how to do that:
- Open a terminal session and enter: sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
- That will open the file in the Nano text editor.
- You will see that the file has a single long line and we need to add our changes to the end of that line.
- At the end of that line, enter a space followed by: usbhid.mousepoll=0
- Next press Ctl-x followed by y to close and save the amended file.
- Enter: sudo reboot from the terminal session to restart the Pi and your mouse should be fine!
Thanks Mike, worked perfectly.

Thank you SO much for this. Setting my mouse acceleration to 0 and making the tweak above made my mouse function perfectly. I can’t thank you enough for this.
