I want to speed up the mouse. The author has several mouse settings on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1vODcNoM8 . And for some reason I have only two of them. Perhaps you need to turn on the "Expert" mode so that they appear. How to do it?

    pointer acceleration can be viewed / modified, for example, using the xset program.

    see the current values ​​of the "acceleration" ( acceleration ) and "threshold" ( threshold ):

     $ xset q | grep -A 1 -i pointer

    An example of an output where “acceleration” is 2 (the fraction value is 2/1 ) and “threshold” is 4 :

     Pointer Control: acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4

    You can change it with the command:

     $ xset m [ускорение [порог]]
    • ускорение can be specified as an integer, or you can use a “simple” fraction of the form 1/2 , 10/3 , etc.
    • порог is an integer

    The above values ​​can be set with the command:

     $ xset m 2/1 4

    or (which is the same):

     $ xset m 2 4

    if only one of these two parameters is specified, then it is considered as ускорение , if both are omitted, the default values ​​are restored.

    the meaning of the “threshold” is explained in the documentation ( man xset ) like this:

    It will be more than 10 microns (ie would-be pixels) in 10 ms, including a small transition range. It can be used for the wrist when desired.

    my free google translation:

    by default, the pointer (the on-screen representation of a pointing device, such as a mouse) will move to ускорение times faster when the device moves more than a pixel порог ( mickeys ) in 10 ms, including a small transition range. thus, the pointing device can be used for precise positioning when it moves slowly, but it can quickly move across the entire screen with a wave of the hand when necessary.
