i cant believe there is no check box in the mouse options to turn off the involuntary extra acceleration as one moves the mouse faster. in windows there is a check box named "enhance pointer precision". it simply has to be unchecked and your mouse responds in a kind of 1:1 way. this is holding me back from switching to linux.

its not about the mouse cursor speed, but about the extra acceleration which is not of a lot of use to people which don't use the laptop fingerboard, but a mouse.

isn't that what "pointer acceleration" is for? (it is located in system settings - mouse)

As waldelf said, set the acceleration to 1.0x, and you'll have no acceleration.

There is a small problem as far I know. The KDE does not control mouse sameway what you expect on Windows. It is related to the Xorg what controls mouse. There has be always a lack of "Acceleration" and "Sensitivity".

Different from windows does not mean "bad", it just means "different". There is no reason we should do things exactly the same way windows does (if we did, there would be no reason to have Linux at all).

I did not mean it is bad thing at all we do not follow Windows. But I just said that it is not KDE's problem but Xorgs and we can not do anything for it. On Windows it is possible to do, but Linux users can not enjoy same features because of lacking features on Xorg itself.

And this has always be one kind problem with users, they can not configure their mouse as they want. They must always tweak their mouse cursor speed with acceleration or with DPI levels. That is not a good thing from XOrg. We are just missing the "Cursor speed" setting.

So do not even try to pull the "we do not need to follow Windows because otherwise there would be no reason to Linux" to this discussion like anti-MS person
