About mouse wheel rotation

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 1004

How to adjust the rotation speed of the mouse wheel? It rotates too fast. A slight turn on the wheel moves the screen up/down too fast. I have to move the screen up/down by sliding the side bar.

TIA

I've seen a suggestion that (if it's a USB mouse) merely unplugging it and plugging it in again will solve the problem (or the receiver if it's wireless). Sounds crazy, but what have you got to lose by trying?

Is that a Microsoft mouse?

This might point people in the right direction, it's mouse not scroll wheel sensitivity but the settings should be in the same place:
