disable mouse/touchpad pointer acceleration & speed 18.04?












2















Ubuntu 16.04 had options to




  1. control pointer speed

  2. disable/enable acceleration


but Ubuntu 18.04 does not have any of these options which makes it too irritating to use.

It would be so great if the mouse/touchpad (in the case of laptops) experience were similar to that of Windows.



Can I achieve similar behaviour in Ubuntu 18.04?

          Settings -> Devices -> Mouse & Touchpad has "Mouse Speed".



          enter image description here



          Also, gnome-tweaks has a Mouse "Acceleration Profile" amongst other things.
