I just installed Kubuntu 18.04 and i tried to disable mouse acceleration. I had a script file that i was usually using with the following commands but it doesnt work anymore :

xinput set-prop 8 "Device Accel Profile" -1

xinput set-prop 8 "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 4

The output of xinput is:

Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]

⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

⎜   ↳ Razer Razer Abyssus                       id=8    [slave  pointer  (2)]

I tried changing Accel Profile Enabled but it doesnt work (unless i'm doing something wrong).

any ideas?

This worked for me on Ubuntu.

You have to change Accel Speed.

xinput set-prop <mouse_id> <accel_speed_id> <number>

So in your case:

xinput set-prop 8 283 -0.5

note: i used -0.5 as an example, use what ever value you want.

This will last till the next reboot or logout.
If you want it permanent use a X11 conf file (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d), there are some tutorials online, but i had no luck getting it to work.

An alternative is creating a startup script that would execute the command for you.

I haven't figured out how to disable mouse accel. yet, and I'm quite sure Jubast's way isn't the best one. If it was, 0.0 should give a 1:1 ratio, but it doesn't. xset m 0 0 is also useless (and ffs, why tf is it still so hard to do stuff like this on Linux? Jesus).
Regarding storing the settings, you can make the configuration permanent by writing it to the ~/.config/kcminputrc file. Here's mine

[Keyboard]

KeyboardRepeating=0

NumLock=0

RepeatDelay=200

RepeatRate=25



[Mouse]

XLbInptAccelProfileFlat=true

XLbInptNaturalScroll=false

XLbInptPointerAcceleration=-0.75

cursorTheme=breeze_cursors
