I would like to disable mouse acceleration. I don't like it when the same physical distance traveled by the mouse results in different screen distance depending on how quickly you move the mouse.



Also, I would like to adjust cursor speed to my liking.



The problem is that Kubuntu doesn't seem to allow either:

Mouse acceleration cannot be set to 0 and there's not an option for mouse speed/sensitivity.



So, the questions are:




  1. How do I disable mouse acceleration completely?

  2. How do I adjust mouse speed?

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:




  1. Set "Pointer threshold" to 0. As a result, the second speed will be applied at all times.

  2. 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.
