Steermouse for windows simple5/16/2023 And web searches often turn up an unreliable or incorrect method. This is one of the reasons I ended up ditching Linux for Windows+WSL.ĭisabling mouse cursor acceleration under X11, for example, depends on which of at least three different X.org mouse drivers you are using (really old, evdev, or libinput). > This is one of the reasons I ended up using Linux I want to solve computer science problems more interesting than configuring my mouse and my window manager vsync tearing / compositor issues. The number of tweaks I've needed to research and implement for both Mac and Linux are one reason I'm now currently using Windows + WSL for getting stuff done. To figure out your mouse name string like the MM710 example I used above you do this: MM710 Gaming Mouse' 'Device Accel Profile' -1 $ xinput -set-prop 'pointer:Cooler Master Technology Inc. If using evdev mouse driver you do something like this: MM710 Gaming Mouse' 'libinput Accel Profile Enabled' 0, 1 $ xinput -set-prop 'Cooler Master Technology Inc. If using libinput mouse driver you do something like this: This at first works and then you eventually discover some apps like Blender develop cursor jump bugs. One unreliable method I tried involves setting a matrix. never got there.) So if you web search "disable mouse accel linux" you likely get the wrong directions (at least I did) because you might be using the libinput driver and the instructions you found are for evdev. (I don't even know what you have to do for Wayland. There are at least three different X11 mouse drivers on Ubuntu: the really old one, the evdev one, and the newest libinput one. +1, I've also been using the paid Mac app Smooze () to get smooth mousewheel scrolling animation like I get on Linux and Windows out-of-the-box when web browsing and so forth because I haven't found a free app that can do this.Īnd while we're talking about the effort needed to get sane mouse behavior for serious CAD/3D editing/art/gaming, it is way too hard to reliably disable cursor acceleration on Linux.
