Kubuntu: disable mouse acceleration and adjust mouse speed
Solution 1:
How to adjust mouse speed in KDE
- without enabling mouse acceleration
- and only using the settings dialog (no console, no config files)
This is a colloquial summary of exhuma's answer, don't forget to upvote it.
In KDE, mouse acceleration is not logarithmic. That is, it has two constant mouse speeds: non-accelerated and accelerated. It switches from one to another when you jerk the mouse quickly enough.
The first speed is non-configurable (at least, from GUI). The second speed is configurable.
The solution is:
- Set "Pointer threshold" to 0. As a result, the second speed will be applied at all times.
- Adjust "Pointer acceleration" to make that speed higher or lower.
You will end up with a constant, non-dynamic cursor speed adjusted to your liking.
Solution 2:
In this dialog, to disable the acceleration, you shouldn't set it to 0, rather set it to 1.
