there is no settings via xfce gui of pointer speed. The only way to reduce it is via terminal: xinput set-prop 8 279 2.0 where 8 is id of my input device 279 is Device Accel Constant Deceleration ( eual by default to 1.000000) I'm shocked that there are still no such setting.
xinput --set-prop "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 5 Example of discussions about this topic http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/90572/how-can-i-set-mouse-sensitivity-not-just-mouse-acceleration Placing '$ xinput --set-prop "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 0.8' to autorun helped me Because of I'm gamer (first person shooters) I can't use acceleration in my system at all, it kills skill of fast aiming. Also Mouse for my netbook is very fast (due to it's small screen resolution), so there I set '$ xinput --set-prop "Microsoft Arc Mouse" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.4' More proper way of systemwide configuration is creating file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-devicespeed.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse" Option "ConstantDeceleration" "0.8" EndSection
Libinput dev said, that they have just implemented in their fresh libinput 1.1 flat profiles (without acceleration) (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92663) Now, the only thing is left to implement it in mouse settings. PS Pointer settings should be restructured. They should look like this: * flat/accelerated movement toggle * Speed of pointer (works both in accelerated and flat modes) * threshold (number of pixels for accelerated movement)
I know that this bug report is pretty old, but it would be great if the developers would reconsider adding that option (mouse speed/sensitivity slider) to xfce4-mouse-settings. To be honest, I consider that feature to be an essential thing in mouse settings, I was very surprised to see that I don't have an option to change (slow down) my mouse speed/sensitivity (resolution?) in xfce4-mouse-settings. I've installed Xubuntu 18.04 on my laptop (Dell E6410) which has two devices - touchpad and trackpoint, and both of them are way too fast to even operate comfortably.
