It should be possible to set mouse pointer speed separately for 3D mouse and system mouse

At the moment, it is only possible to set the mouse cursor speed for both 3D mouse and system mouse together in Settings - Mouse pointer speed:

The stereo interpreters at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) in Switzerland have the following problem:

When the speed for the system mouse is good for them to work productively, this speed is too fast for the 3D mouse
When the speed for the 3D mouse is good for them to work accurately, this speed is too slow for the system mouse

The stereo interpreters mostly work with the 3D mouse. However, from time to time, they need the system mouse to select a combo box item or click on a button in a form, or to click on a button in the ribbon.

--> It would be good if the mouse pointer speed could be set separately for 3D mouse and system mouse

In Socet GXP(R) (another software for photogrammetric evaluations) this is already possible in the settings. I can set the mouse speed separately for each dimension (X, Y and Z) (see printscreen). Socet GXP also has a setting that allows you to separate the system mouse from the 3D mouse. The speed of the system mouse is then set normally in Windows, while the 3D mouse is set in Socet GXP(R).
This should therefore not be a problem for the future implementation in ArcGIS Pro.

I tried out

but this only works with two system mice, but not with the system and the Stealth mice.
