Prior to this change, the virtual mouse update was restricted to updating once every `mouse_delay` microseconds, and the allowed values were a small fixed set. Some users reported that even at the highest speed, the speed was slower than they were used to (with a high DPI mouse). This change modifies the speed calculation algorithm as follows. It keeps the slowest speed to refresh the mouse every 70 ms. As the speed increases, the refresh rate drops by 5 ms for every increment in speed, until the refresh rate caps at once every 10 ms. Beyond that, a multiplicative factor begins to take effect, with each speed increase adding 0.25 to the factor. That is, speed 13 would multiply the axis components by 1.25 _and_ refresh every 10 ms. Speed 14 would bump the factor to 1.50, speed 15 to 1.75, and so on, until the factor tops out at 6.0. |

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux
This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.
Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.
Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
Note: This repository currently only provides commandline interfaces to control the MFD and LEDs. If you are not comfortable working in the commandline, then the gx52 project might be a better fit for your needs as it provides a graphical interface to control the MFD and LEDs.
