+ All Linux distributions I have used required me to tweak the mouse settings before it was usable for gaming.<br/><br/>Stock Ubuntu for example comes with mouse acceleration enabled by default and there is no option to turn it off. WTF?<br/><br/>Even on touchpads mouse acceleration feels like its doing more harm than good and I dont like it :(<br/><br/>edit: Instead of giving me gold please donate the money to a charity or GNU developers.

+ <div class='comment_content'><p>There even was a time when libinput didn't support flat acceleration at all while some distros (namely arch) had already moved to it. I downgraded that package immediately. If I remember correctly the devs were quite dismissive of this and didn't think it was a high priority, because who doesn't want mouse acceleration? And isn't setting it to some really low value just like turning it off?</p><p>No, it's not and yes I notice it immediately. I refuse to buy many mice because they can't track without some leftover acceleration ffs. With Linux being more and more viable as a gaming platform this just can't be ignored. I know people who tried switching to Linux because they heard CSGO, the only game they ever play, runs. They were just as stupefied as you'd expect them to be that there was no option for disabling mouse acceleration completely and that they had to manually edit config files. "Yeah, Linux is really easy these days, uhh, except for that I guess"</p></div>

So I checked the bugtracker for the package. Oldest bug for Dokuwiki is filed against 8.10. That version isn't even supported any more (16.04LTS is the oldest, I think). On top of that the specific bug is fixed. I know it's fixed. The current package isn't missing the symlink that bug says is missing.</p></div>

I've done testing and have seen no impact in either frame-time, response, or frame-rate across OpenGL, Vulkan or Wine games. Maybe it causes some issue in some edge-case game where the code is poorly optimized, but I've yet to run into it.</p></div>

Same with the vsync effect: sometimes it seems to clamp it to 60fps while other games are fine.</p><p>So I guess the advice would more be "keep in mind it does stuff; if you have issues try enabling/disabling it".</p></div>

I'd also like to be able to set the sensitivity of my mouse vs my trackpad independently, because one is super slow and the other super fast and I don't want to switch it every time I decide not to plug in the mouse.</p></div>
