1 | MOUSE ACCELERATION IS A REAL PROBLEM IN LINUX. \r |

| 10 | All Linux distributions I have used required me to tweak the\r | |
| 11 | mouse settings before it was usable for gaming.\r | |
| 12 | \r | |
| 13 | Stock Ubuntu for example comes with mouse acceleration enabled\r | |
| 14 | by default and there is no option to turn it off. WTF?\r | |
| 15 | \r | |
| 16 | Even on touchpads mouse acceleration feels like its doing more\r | |
| 17 | harm than good and I dont like it :(\r | |

| 23 | ** TurnDownForTendies\r | |
| 24 | Despite the downvotes this is a legitimate complaint. I've never\r | |
| 25 | understood why this isn't extremely easy to disable.\r | |
| 26 | \r | |
| 27 | ** KarKraKr\r | |
| 28 | There even was a time when libinput didn't support flat\r | |
| 29 | acceleration at all while some distros (namely arch) had\r | |
| 30 | already moved to it. I downgraded that package immediately.\r | |
| 31 | If I remember correctly the devs were quite dismissive of\r | |
| 32 | this and didn't think it was a high priority, because who\r | |
| 33 | doesn't want mouse acceleration? And isn't setting it to some\r | |
| 34 | really low value just like turning it off?\r | |
| 35 | No, it's not and yes I notice it immediately. I refuse to buy\r | |
| 36 | many mice because they can't track without some leftover\r | |
| 37 | acceleration ffs. With Linux being more and more viable as a\r | |
| 38 | gaming platform this just can't be ignored. I know people who\r | |
| 39 | tried switching to Linux because they heard CSGO, the only\r | |
| 40 | game they ever play, runs. They were just as stupefied as\r | |
| 41 | you'd expect them to be that there was no option for\r | |
| 42 | disabling mouse acceleration completely and that they had to\r | |
| 43 | manually edit config files. "Yeah, Linux is really easy these\r | |
| 44 | days, uhh, except for that I guess"\r | |
| 45 | \r | |
| 46 | \r | |
| 47 | ** 5had0w5talk3r\r | |
| 48 | If you use Gnome or especially KDE, it is extremely easy to\r | |
| 49 | disable. Just go to the settings menu and disable it.\r | |
| 50 | \r | |
| 51 | ** aaronfranke\r | |
| 52 | In XFCE there's a menu for changing the acceleration\r | |
| 53 | amount, but it doesn't do anything if I set it to zero or\r | |
| 54 | ten.\r | |

| 76 | That's pretty shocking. If you're not resource\r | |
| 77 | limited, I'd consider moving to KDE since they\r | |
| 78 | actually seem to care about what the users want\r | |
| 79 | and need.\r | |
| 80 | \r | |
| 81 | ** aaronfranke\r | |
| 82 | Not shocking to me. Ubuntu and Wine both have\r | |
| 83 | bugs over a decade old. I just checked and KDE\r | |
| 84 | has open bugs from 2002. Tends to happen with\r | |
| 85 | open-source projects. [1]The oldest 500 bugs\r | |
| 86 | are from 2002 to 2005 .\r | |
| 87 | XFCE's oldest bug is from 2006. Gnome's oldest\r | |
| 88 | bug is from 2004. The Linux kernel's oldest\r | |
| 89 | bug is from 2005. Wine's oldest bug is from\r | |
| 90 | 2000.\r | |

| 106 | Most might not be valid any longer. I was\r | |
| 107 | putzing around with Dokuwiki at work, it\r | |
| 108 | didn't install cleanly from the package. So\r | |
| 109 | I checked the bugtracker for the package.\r | |
| 110 | Oldest bug for Dokuwiki is filed against\r | |
| 111 | 8.10. That version isn't even supported any\r | |
| 112 | more (16.04LTS is the oldest, I think). On\r | |
| 113 | top of that the specific bug is fixed. I\r | |
| 114 | know it's fixed. The current package isn't\r | |
| 115 | missing the symlink that bug says is\r | |
| 116 | missing.\r | |

| 120 | Tends to happen with open-source projects.\r | |
| 121 | Tends to happen more with closed source\r | |
| 122 | projects as there is no way to report or\r | |
| 123 | track bugs open to the public. Windows 7\r | |
| 124 | was still running 16 bit dos... Think about\r | |
| 125 | how old the bugs must be in that pile of\r | |

| 155 | ** TurnDownForTendies\r | |
| 156 | I made a bootable usb to see the mouse options in KDE.\r | |
| 157 | You're right there's an option to set the acceleration to\r | |
| 158 | flat. The last time I used it I was confused by the\r | |
| 159 | multipliers where you could type in values for\r | |
| 160 | acceleration and "pointer threshold." Good to see its now\r | |
| 161 | just a click to get it over with.\r | |
| 162 | \r | |
| 163 | ** 5had0w5talk3r\r | |
| 164 | Yeah, the KDE team have done a great job recently and\r | |
| 165 | have developed a modern, feature-rich, and great\r | |
| 166 | performing desktop with some of the best apps in the\r | |
| 167 | Linux space. It's really come a long way and I have\r | |
| 168 | zero regrets or complaints after having switched to it\r | |
| 169 | over a year ago.\r | |
| 170 | \r | |
| 171 | ** TurnDownForTendies\r | |
| 172 | Yeah looks a lot different than it used to last time\r | |
| 173 | I tried it a year ago. Looks really nice so far and\r | |
| 174 | animations are a lot smoother than what I'm used to\r | |
| 175 | on gnome. I had to edit a file to stop screen\r | |
| 176 | tearing on my nvidia card and disallow applications\r | |
| 177 | to block compositing because running a game would\r | |
| 178 | cause window dragging and some desktop effects to\r | |
| 179 | get screwed up, but I'll switch to it if things seem\r | |
| 180 | stable.\r | |
| 181 | \r | |
| 182 | ** 5had0w5talk3r\r | |
| 183 | I had to edit a file to stop screen tearing on my\r | |
| 184 | nvidia card\r | |
| 185 | On any recent drivers you can just open the\r | |
| 186 | nvidia-settings tool as root and enable\r | |
| 187 | "ForceFullCompositePipeline" under "Advanced" in\r | |
| 188 | the "X Server Display Configuration". Then just\r | |
| 189 | save it to your xorg.conf file to keep it after a\r | |
| 190 | reboot.\r | |
| 191 | \r | |
| 192 | disallow applications to block compositing\r | |
| 193 | because running a game would cause window\r | |
| 194 | dragging and some desktop effects to get screwed\r | |
| 195 | up,\r | |
| 196 | This seems to be an edge-case with only certain\r | |
| 197 | applications. IIRC, the only one I've encountered\r | |
| 198 | any issues with was [1]The Adventures of Fei\r | |
| 199 | Duanmu . In any case, you can manually toggle\r | |
| 200 | compositing using a global shortcut\r | |
| 201 | (Shift+Alt+F12 by default).\r | |
| 202 | \r | |
| 203 | Looks really nice so far and animations are a lot\r | |
| 204 | smoother than what I'm used to on gnome.\r | |
| 205 | Yeah the animations and transitions are great.\r | |
| 206 | You can customize them too, from "Smoother and\r | |
| 207 | longer" to "Snappier and shorter" (or just turn\r | |
| 208 | them off if that's your thing).\r | |

| 224 | just save it to your xorg.conf file to keep it\r | |
| 225 | after a reboot.\r | |
| 226 | Seeing as how we are on a gaming subreddit:\r | |
| 227 | keep in mind that this does have a huge\r | |
| 228 | performance impact.\r | |
| 229 | \r | |
| 230 | ** 5had0w5talk3r\r | |
| 231 | I feel like this is a myth that keeps\r | |
| 232 | getting perpetuated. I've done testing and\r | |
| 233 | have seen no impact in either frame-time,\r | |
| 234 | response, or frame-rate across OpenGL,\r | |
| 235 | Vulkan or Wine games. Maybe it causes some\r | |
| 236 | issue in some edge-case game where the code\r | |
| 237 | is poorly optimized, but I've yet to run\r | |
| 238 | into it.\r | |
| 239 | \r | |
| 240 | ** DutchHawk_\r | |
| 241 | Dunno about edge case, but it isn't\r | |
| 242 | consistent: that's true.\r | |
| 243 | I have little impact in say\r | |
| 244 | Insurgency/DOF, but both Tomb Raiders\r | |
| 245 | had massive stuttering. Same with the\r | |
| 246 | vsync effect: sometimes it seems to\r | |
| 247 | clamp it to 60fps while other games are\r | |
| 248 | fine.\r | |
| 249 | So I guess the advice would more be\r | |
| 250 | "keep in mind it does stuff; if you have\r | |
| 251 | issues try enabling/disabling it".\r | |
| 252 | \r | |
| 253 | \r | |
| 254 | \r | |
| 255 | ** GaianNeuron\r | |
| 256 | There's an option in KDE called "allow\r | |
| 257 | applications to block compositing" which\r | |
| 258 | lets games override that and recover said\r | |
| 259 | performance.\r | |
| 260 | It's enabled by default.\r | |
| 261 | \r | |
| 262 | ** DutchHawk_\r | |
| 263 | From what I gather, that has nothing to\r | |
| 264 | do with Nvidia's settings (inc. any form\r | |
| 265 | of CompositePipeline ) only KDE's own\r | |
| 266 | compositing. KWin doesn't know anything\r | |
| 267 | what Nvidia is doing. Via former KDE dev\r | |
| 268 | [1]/u/mgraesslin : see [2]this\r | |
| 269 | The [3]solution in that thread by\r | |
| 270 | [4]/u/UrbenLegend may work with the\r | |
| 271 | "block compositing" (since it it a KWin\r | |
| 272 | thingy after all). Although for me the\r | |
| 273 | triple buffer helps, but not completely\r | |
| 274 | eliminates tearing.\r | |

| 315 | KDE has different mouse settings menus depending on the\r | |

| 320 | Yes! [1]Here is a forum post showing the different\r | |

| 322 | install xf86-input-evdev and use it instead of the\r | |
| 323 | default xf86-input-libinput , e.g. with cp\r | |

| 338 | Yeah, probably not a bad idea. I don't\r | |

| 358 | ** Swiftpaw22\r | |
| 359 | It is, and it's why I helped to get the Linux Mint developers\r | |
| 360 | to turn it off by default. There is an option in mouse\r | |
| 361 | settings for "custom acceleration" where you can turn it back\r | |
| 362 | on, though, if you want it. But seriously, most everyone\r | |
| 363 | seems to prefer it off, hence why they changed that. It's\r | |
| 364 | stupid to have accel be the default, and even if you make it\r | |
| 365 | the default, at least provide a way to easily disable it.\r | |
| 366 | All distros should do the same. No mouse acceleration is a\r | |
| 367 | sane default.\r | |
| 368 | \r | |
| 369 | ** Jupon\r | |

| 395 | to some degree.\r | |
| 396 | Reality is that most of the people don't care, and\r | |
| 397 | if we added this feature to the UI they would feel\r | |
| 398 | confused about it and mess it up and then wonder why\r | |
| 399 | their mouse is acting glitchy on Linux.\r | |

| 439 | You had to install gnome tweak tool to change the\r | |
| 440 | setting using a GUI but you could have changed it\r | |
| 441 | manually by editing dconf.\r | |
| 442 | \r | |
| 443 | ** TMiguelT\r | |
| 444 | Any idea why tweak tool is not installed by\r | |
| 445 | default, or even integrated into the Settings\r | |
| 446 | dialogue? It's so helpful I don't understand why\r | |
| 447 | everyone wouldn't want it\r | |
| 448 | \r | |
| 449 | ** the_Madman\r | |
| 450 | Because that gives users control, which is\r | |
| 451 | against the Gnome philosophy.\r | |
| 452 | \r | |
| 453 | ** Vash63\r | |
| 454 | Gnome doesn't decide on the default\r | |
| 455 | packages for a distribution. As mentioned\r | |
| 456 | above in this same comment thread, Ubuntu's\r | |
| 457 | upstream (Debian) does include Tweaks by\r | |
| 458 | default with the 'gnome' metapackage.\r | |
| 459 | \r | |
| 460 | ** the_Madman\r | |
| 461 | Gnome does decide to ship 4 different\r | |
| 462 | UIs to do one job, and all as separate\r | |
| 463 | software.\r | |
| 464 | \r | |
| 465 | ** Vash63\r | |
| 466 | True, but that isn't the same thing\r | |
| 467 | you initially said which is that they\r | |
| 468 | don't like giving control. They just\r | |
| 469 | aren't organizing it very well.\r | |

| 477 | I think the point they are making is that it's\r | |
| 478 | not a default GUI option, people who are just\r | |
| 479 | switching over from windows, and doing so as\r | |
| 480 | gamers are likely not familiar with non-GUI\r | |
| 481 | methods of adjusting settings.\r | |
| 482 | [1]This is what they see on Ubuntu, and to be\r | |
| 483 | honest, it leaves the impression to a new user\r | |
| 484 | that disabling mouse acceleration is not an\r | |
| 485 | option.\r | |

| 592 | Then you haven't used Linux Mint, as I helped to get the\r | |
| 593 | developers to turn it off by default. There is an option in\r | |
| 594 | mouse settings for "custom acceleration" where you can turn it\r | |
| 595 | back on, though, if you want it. But seriously, most everyone\r | |
| 596 | seems to prefer it off, hence why they changed that.\r | |
| 597 | All distros should do the same. No mouse acceleration is a sane\r | |
| 598 | default.\r | |
| 599 | \r | |
| 600 | ** awe300\r | |

| 604 | ** jensreuterberg\r | |
| 605 | Ok this may be the DUMBEST question - but I use the GUI option\r | |
| 606 | in plasma to set flat acceleration rate - but then I do\r | |
| 607 | \r | |
| 608 | $ xinput list-props {1..50} 2>/dev/null | fgrep 'libinput Accel\r | |
| 609 | Profile Enabled ('\r | |
| 610 | And it claims acceleration is still on... (ie reads 1, 0 instead\r | |
| 611 | of 0, 1)\r | |
| 612 | Is it me just not getting it, or freaking out for nothing? If\r | |
| 613 | not: Why?\r | |
| 614 | EDIT: should be noted that I have a hard time checking\r | |
| 615 | "manually" (ie testing going quick over the same space as you've\r | |
| 616 | recently dragged it slowly to see if it goes "farther" when\r | |
| 617 | moving fast) but my aim in CSGO "feels" shaky. Could be just me\r | |
| 618 | stressing out and getting shaky aim due to that suspicion.\r | |
| 619 | \r | |
| 620 | ** AI221\r | |
| 621 | best way to test is to set 2 heavy objects between your mouse\r | |
| 622 | and move between them fast or slow. If your mouse doesn't\r | |
| 623 | return to roughly the same spot you're good.(unless you've\r | |
| 624 | got some $500 mouse it's not gonna be pixel-perfect)\r | |
| 625 | \r | |
| 626 | ** jensreuterberg\r | |
| 627 | Thats the one I usually do (although not THAT heavy), will\r | |
| 628 | do some more of it though just to calm my nerves - which\r | |
| 629 | may just as well be what messes it up. CS is such a\r | |
| 630 | "confidence game", and a small streak of losses really\r | |
| 631 | makes you wonder and question etc etc...\r | |
| 632 | \r | |

| 635 | ** Sasamus\r | |
| 636 | You are correct. The profile toggle does not work, at least\r | |
| 637 | for some, the profile does not change.\r | |
| 638 | \r | |
| 639 | \r | |
| 640 | ** K900_\r | |
| 641 | KDE Plasma lets you disable mouse acceleration out of the box.\r | |
| 642 | \r | |
| 643 | ** iommu\r | |
| 644 | Does it have an option for sensitivity yet? On 5.13 I could\r | |
| 645 | only find accel but not sensitivity.\r | |
| 646 | \r | |
| 647 | ** AimlesslyWalking\r | |
| 648 | I think the acceleration option might just be a poorly\r | |
| 649 | worded sensitivity option, so long as you set it to flat\r | |
| 650 | profile underneath. I could be wrong though, just going\r | |
| 651 | off a brief mouse-feel test and it feels unaccelerated.\r | |
| 652 | \r | |
| 653 | ** RASQ37\r | |
| 654 | Just tested it. No, it's definitely acceleration.\r | |
| 655 | \r | |
| 656 | ** Sasamus\r | |
| 657 | That slider does work as a sensitivity/speed slider\r | |
| 658 | with a flat profile.\r | |
| 659 | The problem is that changing the profile there\r | |
| 660 | doesn't seem to work for some people, hence why\r | |
| 661 | people have different experiences.\r | |
| 662 | If you set the profile to flat by other means that\r | |
| 663 | slider can be used for sensitivity.\r | |

| 699 | It's mostly what you're used to. In the past I did most of\r | |

| 701 | awful.\r | |
| 702 | Switched to Linux full-time a couple of months for gaming\r | |
| 703 | (everything else I had been doing on Unix for ages\r | |
| 704 | anyway), set my mouse settings to something that felt\r | |
| 705 | nice[1] and no issues after one or two days.\r | |

| 710 | ** plumkefan\r | |
| 711 | Just to be a bit pedantic, this is not a Linux issue as it has\r | |
| 712 | nothing to do with the kernel. It is really an issue with\r | |
| 713 | whatever Desktop Environment(s) you are using.\r | |
| 714 | Some DEs have this built into to their settings UI, some do not.\r | |
| 715 | If there is a specific DE you love, but does not offer this,\r | |
| 716 | propose it upstream and someone may add it in.\r | |
| 717 | There are several options for persistently disabling\r | |
| 718 | acceleration. The easiest that come to mind would be either\r | |
| 719 | throwing an computer command in somewhere like .xprofile or\r | |
| 720 | specifying your mouse parameters in an XOrg config file. If\r | |
| 721 | using Gnome, there is always gnome-tweaks, as has been\r | |
| 722 | mentioned.\r | |
| 723 | From what I’ve read in this thread, it seems like half the\r | |
| 724 | commenters are expecting that there should be some magic\r | |
| 725 | software or standard UI element that is mandatory in every\r | |
| 726 | distribution of Linux. It’s a bit silly to think that way as\r | |
| 727 | everyone uses Linux in their own way and many of us don’t want\r | |
| 728 | bloated garbage that we will never use (a UI element for a\r | |
| 729 | setting that only needs to be touched once).\r | |

| 732 | Just to be a bit pedantic, this is not a Linux issue as it\r | |

| 734 | Just a reminder, but you do understand you've written this in\r | |
| 735 | a sub called linux _gaming, right? Nobody cares at this\r | |
| 736 | point, from a casual user's perspective, linux is just a\r | |
| 737 | catch-all term for linux distros.\r | |

| 739 | The easiest that come to mind would be either throwing an\r | |
| 740 | computer command in somewhere like .xprofile or specifying\r | |
| 741 | your mouse parameters in an XOrg config file.\r | |
| 742 | While I personally love config files, manually configuring\r | |
| 743 | some settings can be intimidating for newcomers and it gets\r | |
| 744 | even worse when you also have to setup multiple non-binary\r | |
| 745 | vars that only accept specific values (ie dpi, sensitivity,\r | |
| 746 | acceleration etc).\r | |
| 747 | \r | |
| 748 | It seems like half the commenters are expecting that there\r | |
| 749 | should be some magic software or standard UI element that is\r | |
| 750 | mandatory in every distribution of Linux ... many of us don’t\r | |
| 751 | want bloated garbage that we will never use.\r | |
| 752 | You're spot on regarding unnecessary cruft bloating a default\r | |
| 753 | installation. However if a noob-friendly desktop-use distro\r | |
| 754 | (or rather DE) already provides a basic mouse configuration\r | |
| 755 | utility in its system settings I think it would really make\r | |
| 756 | sense if they could merely add a couple of additional\r | |
| 757 | elements to expose and configure stuff like this.\r | |
| 758 | The thing is, not all peripherals can be supported through\r | |
| 759 | the same utilities (at least not for stuff like dpi), but\r | |
| 760 | thankfully bosic stuff like acceleration are merely handled\r | |
| 761 | by libinput (and others).\r | |
| 762 | On the other hand, libinput doesn't even expose proper\r | |
| 763 | configuration files, so if you're on Wayland and your\r | |
| 764 | compositor doesn't provide a tool to modify acceleration and\r | |
| 765 | other parameters you're pretty much stuck with the default\r | |
| 766 | settings!\r | |

| 811 | I've hated mouse acceleration ever since it was\r | |
| 812 | introduced. I've never had to "move the mouse\r | |
| 813 | over half the table." Called tweaking sensitivity\r | |
| 814 | for the available space. Right now the mouse I am\r | |
| 815 | using for my laptop has less area than a standard\r | |
| 816 | sized hot pad (7"x7"). I only use that as a unit\r | |
| 817 | of measurement because my dinner is on a hot pad\r | |
| 818 | next to the mouse and takes up more room than\r | |

| 924 | Just like Windows, to be fair. Nowadays you can change the\r | |
| 925 | acceleration profile in Gnome Tweak tool, if you are using Gnome\r | |
| 926 | anyway.\r | |
| 927 | \r | |
| 928 | ** Appofia\r | |
| 929 | Flat in KDE does not disable acceleration as some people are\r | |
| 930 | claiming, at least not for me, there's still acceleration\r | |
| 931 | present it's just a different curve, or it's bugged.\r | |
| 932 | Not having proper GUI settings for mouse controls is my number 1\r | |
| 933 | issue with running Linux these days. It's baffling why something\r | |
| 934 | that so many people want to change/adjust has to be done with\r | |
| 935 | editing files or creating scripts.\r | |
| 936 | \r | |
| 937 | ** Sasamus\r | |

| 946 | Play around with the xinput command-line tool. Specifically,\r | |
| 947 | Device Accel Profile (aceleration type) and Device Accel\r | |
| 948 | Constant Deceleration (speed). My preferred settings are -1 and\r | |
| 949 | 1.25 respectively, and I have this script to set them for me:\r | |
| 950 | a="$(xinput | grep 'Logitech USB Receiver' | awk '{print $6}' |\r | |
| 951 | sed 's/id=//')"\r | |
| 952 | for i in $a; do\r | |

| 966 | It's true and in KDE at least, setting the slider to zero\r | |
| 967 | doesn't actually give you raw input like xorg configs will (it\r | |
| 968 | feels smoothed). From what I can tell, there's also no real\r | |
| 969 | option for changing your desktop sensitivity once you're rid of\r | |
| 970 | mouse acceleration if you don't have working DPI settings.\r | |
| 971 | Changing the transform matrix through xinput seems like the best\r | |
| 972 | solution, but causes the camera to spin uncontrollably in a ton\r | |
| 973 | of games for some reason.\r | |
| 974 | \r | |
| 975 | I suppose you could make a script to disable/enable it as\r | |
| 976 | needed, but most games have menus and overlays that you need to\r | |
| 977 | interact with regularly so that would be a lot of hotkey presses\r | |
| 978 | over time.\r | |
| 979 | \r | |
| 980 | ** 5had0w5talk3r\r | |
| 981 | in KDE at least, setting the slider to zero doesn't actually\r | |
| 982 | give you raw input\r | |
| 983 | Did you set your profile to 'flat'?\r | |
| 984 | \r | |
| 985 | \r | |
| 986 | ** Sasamus\r | |
| 987 | With the adaptive profile the slider adjusts the amount of\r | |
| 988 | acceleration.\r | |
| 989 | With the flat profile the slider adjusts the\r | |
| 990 | sensitivity/speed.\r | |
| 991 | The problem is that the profile setting doesn't seem to work,\r | |
| 992 | at least for some.\r | |
| 993 | But the slider works as it should if you set the profile in\r | |
| 994 | other ways.\r | |

| 1016 | I don't know if it's because I'm used to the "enhanced pointer\r | |
| 1017 | precision" on Windows, but every time I go back to my Zorin\r | |
| 1018 | machine, I keep overshooting buttons, even when moving slowly.\r | |
| 1019 | I'd also like to be able to set the sensitivity of my mouse vs\r | |
| 1020 | my trackpad independently, because one is super slow and the\r | |
| 1021 | other super fast and I don't want to switch it every time I\r | |
| 1022 | decide not to plug in the mouse.\r | |

| 1025 | On X you can easily disable it by typing xset m 1 0\r | |

| 1027 | But on Wayland (libinput), I have not found a way to disable it,\r | |
| 1028 | that's why I don't use any distro that comes with Wayland.\r | |

| 1030 | ** Saizaku_\r | |
| 1031 | Just to stop missinformatiom from spreading, xset no longer\r | |

| 1050 | Not trying to bash you, but if you're using a physical mouse\r | |

| 1052 | on?\r | |

| 1056 | ** inverimus\r | |
| 1057 | I don't have it on, but I think most people do not bother\r | |

| 1069 | Huh. I actually love the mouse sensitivity and acceleration on\r | |
| 1070 | Linux (and Mac). I can barely use a windows mouse anymore, it's\r | |
| 1071 | so touchy or sluggish, no good balance.\r | |
| 1072 | \r | |
| 1073 | ** volca02\r | |
| 1074 | It's okay if you do - but there are those with high-dpi mice\r | |
| 1075 | used to RAW input without any acceleration - and I'm one of\r | |
| 1076 | them. It's mind boggling why the common desktop environments\r | |
| 1077 | don't allow for total bypass of the mouse input processing.\r | |
| 1078 | \r | |
| 1079 | \r | |
| 1080 | ** LordMacharius\r | |
| 1081 | I prefer accuracy, mouse acceleration on a mouse is the most\r | |

| 1085 | ** the_Madman\r | |
| 1086 | KDE's mouse settings panel allows you to set the acceleration to\r | |
| 1087 | "dynamic"or "flat". I switched it off the first chance I got.\r | |
| 1088 | \r | |
| 1089 | ** 84521\r | |
| 1090 | Is that why the mouse is so fucky in Ubuntu? And no way to\r | |
| 1091 | toggle it off?\r | |
| 1092 | \r | |
| 1093 | ** ReadAParadox\r | |
| 1094 | You can disable it in Ubuntu but it's kinda complicated, first\r | |
| 1095 | install gnome-tweak-tool then go to mouse settings (in\r | |
| 1096 | gnome-tweak-tool) then change acceleration profile from whatever\r | |
| 1097 | it is to flat.\r | |
