Linux – Microsoft wireless mouse scroll speed too high

arch linuxmouseopenboxscrollingxorg

I am using arch linux.
I have a new microsoft wireless mouse which scrolls(with the middle scroll wheel) too fast.
I don't use kde or gnome but openbox and sometimes xmonad. I want to know how I can slow the scrolling down.
I have come across many kde fixes for this, but no general or xorg fix.

PS: I have a dual boot and with windows 8.1, it works perfectly.

Apparently this could have something to do with using it along with Windows.

Taken from the Ubuntu Forum you can try:

Unplug the mouse receiver from the usb and then plug it back in (while running ubuntu). Whamo blamo you're fixed.

Might work for you to, give it a try.
