I am using a wireless USB logitech mouse (M325) and the acceleration is too fast over short distances. I keep overshooting things that I try to click on.
I have tried listing my devices and setting the accel speed:
xinput --set-prop "Logitech M325" 'libinput Accel Speed' -.92
This worked for slowing down the mouse when moving it quickly over a long distance, but it still moves too fast over short distances.
This, of course, has to do with the fact that only the acceleration is changing, not the general mouse speed.
My question is, is there any program out there or another way to fix this?
I have already tried tweaking the "Mouse and Touchpad" settings.
I am using Mint 18.3 kernel 4.13
--UPDATE--
I just tested an ASUS wired mouse. It performs so much better and is not as "slippery." Perhaps this could be a hint to something?

Re: Mouse Acceleration is TOO FAST
When you changed the mouse settings did you also adjust the sensitivity? That can also affect movement.
Re: Mouse Acceleration is TOO FAST
Hey there .
U need to open terminal and run this :
then find your mouse id
for example in my case :
my mouse id is 16 , 17
now select ur mouse with this code :
finally u can set the speed using this piece of code :
that 2 at the end is the desired speed , play with it a little and u'll find what u like .
i guess 267 is the id of device property so dont change it !
hope this works
ps : BTW does anyone have an answer for my weird problem ? ==> viewtopic.php?f=90&t=268126

U need to open terminal and run this :
Code: Select all
xinput --list --short
for example in my case :
Code: Select all
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ E-Signal USB Gaming Mouse id=16 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ E-Signal USB Gaming Mouse id=17 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]

↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Acer WMI hotkeys id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
now select ur mouse with this code :
Code: Select all
xinput --list-probs [id]
Code: Select all
xinput --set-prob [id] 267 2
i guess 267 is the id of device property so dont change it !
