Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel have a minimum sensitivity value of 10, which can be frustrating when the minimum sensitivity is still too high. This program helps you easily change this value yourself lower than the minimum, or any value of your choosing.
Your mouse sensitivity, among other user settings, are stored somewhere in a file called profile.bin. This setting's location in profile.bin seems to vary from user to user, which is why it's not easy to simply ask the user to set the value themselves at a given offset. During the calculation, the tool asks you to set your mouse sensitivity to different values, calculates the hex offset of each of these values, and attempts to find where these offsets overlap. This offset is saved and used when you want to set your own custom mouse sensitivity, which can be any number between 1 - 255.
The Windows and Linux applications can be found in the releases of this repository.
Simply download the Windows application (named BLSensChanger-Windows-1-2-0.exe to any location and run it. Make sure you have run the game and have changed some settings at least once before launching.
Note that on Linux, this app will only work on the Windows version of the game running through Proton, and not the Linux-native port.
