I have a gaming mouse and it's way too high sensitivity in Ubuntu compared to Windows.

The output of xinput list gives me:

Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SteelSeries Rival Gaming Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SteelSeries Rival Gaming Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]

How would I go about lowering the sensitivity even further? Any other options I should consider with a gaming mouse?

I think I found the answer, but not sure how to make it permanent(I think it resets on reboot?)

First, do the above xinput list and get the id of your device. Not sure why, but there are 2 mice coming up with id=8 and id=10. I picked 8, and it worked.

I ran the following line xinput --set-prop "8" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.5, with the value of 1.5 being just tested and I found it pretty nice. Depends on mouse, so test different values etc.

However I guess you should create a bash script for this for it to work on startup. Not sure how to do so, but will figure it out I guess.

I don't have enough rep to comment unfortunately, you simply open the startup applications app and add the command as /usr/bin/xinput --set-prop "8" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.5. Then, at login the script will be run.
