How to make thumbwheel scroll faster, on MX 3S? #519

I am using Arch Linux. If I enable the high-res wheel, and set the scroll speed low to match the high-res wheel, the thumbwheel becomes too slow. On Windows, Logitec's app has the thumbwheel speed setting, but that app is not available on Linux, so I installed this logiops and asked AI to create the config to make the thumbwheel fast.

Below is the config. The problem is that it always scrolls to the right. I tried changing the axis multiplier of the left to positive 3, but that did not solve it. How to make the left scroll to the left?

devices: ({
  name: "MX Master 3S";  // Confirm this matches your device; if not, try "Wireless Mobile Mouse MX Master 3S"
  thumbwheel: {
    divert: true;
    invert: false;
    left: {
      direction: "Left";
      mode: "Axis";
      axis: "REL_HWHEEL";
      axis_multiplier: -3;  // Negative for left direction; increase absolute value (e.g., -5 or -10) for even faster scrolling
    };
    right: {
      direction: "Right";
      mode: "Axis";
      axis: "REL_HWHEEL";
      axis_multiplier: 3;  // Positive for right; match the left multiplier or adjust independently
    };
  };
});

Damn. Am I the only one who use high-res scroll wheel on a MX mouse? I thought I could get a reply from a user who is using the same thing. Any way, after a lot of trial I have found the working config. Hope it would be helpful to someone else in the future.

devices: ({
  name: "MX Master 3S";
  hiresscroll:
  {
      hires: true;
      invert: false;
      target: false;
  };
  thumbwheel: {
    divert: true;
    invert: false;
    left: {
        mode: "Axis";
        axis: "REL_HWHEEL";
        axis_multiplier: -2.0;
    };
    right: {
        mode: "Axis";
        axis: "REL_HWHEEL";
        axis_multiplier: +2.0;
    };
  };
});

For some reason, 3.0 did not work but 4.0 or 2.0 wor…
