I'm using Xubuntu 17.10.
I'm trying to get rid of the mouse acceleration and I achieved that by doing the following steps:
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
And in this file, paste the following:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "My Mouse"
MatchIsPointer "yes"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
Option "AccelSpeed" "-1"
EndSection
As a result, the mouse acceleration is disabled. Despite the mouse sensitivity being 30 in the settings, it's terribly slow. Does anyone know a different way on how to deactivate mouse acceleration(without killing the mouse speed to such a degree), or a way to increase the mouse sensitivity over its limit? (I have tried some ways for Ubuntu but none seemed to work)

I use
xinput
to control mouse speed (I have a SteelSeries Rival 310 mouse):Note the
id=12
. Now issue this command to list all the possible attributes that You can manipulate for the mouse:Note the
libinput Accel Speed (292): -0.700000
. This is the attribute You will want to change. Set new value like this:Try different values to find the best one that works for You.
