Cursor is too slow

On my desktop my mouse is far too slow. It requires a lot of movement to move the cursor where I need it.

I have my `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf` configured like this:

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "Default Pointer (libinput)"
	MatchDriver "libinput"
	MatchIsPointer "on"
        Option "AccelSpeed" "1"
EndSection

Re: Cursor is too slow

I think that "AccelSpeed" "1" is already the fastest speed you can choose for the acceleration. That's how I read the documentation in "man 4 libinput".

What you might want to do is, try to find out if your mouse hardware has a feature where it can run the sensor at a different DPI resolution setting. If the sensor resolution can be changed on your mouse, you can then try to look for a Linux tool that has support for your particular mouse. See if you can find something on github.com when you search for the mouse manufacturer name.

Re: Cursor is too slow

Try:

Option "AccelProfile" "adaptive"

as the "flat" profile seems to be the default.

A reasonably speedy "AccelSpeed" might be >="0.5"  for that profile (rather subjective)...
