Hi guys.

Edit: update in a comment below. Tldr; I’m a noob

I’ve been struggling to find a solution to disabling mouse acceleration on Wayland. I’m on Nobara 38 and I have tried both the GNOME and KDE flavors, but both have drawbacks and it makes playing FPS games frustrating.

I’m on AMD, running a 7900XTX.

On GNOME the mouse does not seem to have acceleration, but the mouse feels slow and sluggish when moving it. Plus GNOME Wayland does not support tearing which makes in an automatic fail for CS2.

On KDE, the mouse has acceleration/deceleration even when the system setting is set to ‘flat’. I have also tried moving cursor speed slider, but it did not fix the issue.

Anyone else having these issues?

    UPDATE: I am an idiot.

    I was setting the acceleration method for the wrong device all the time. I didn’t realize to select the actual mouse from the dropdown in KDE mouse settings until I plugged in my old mouse in.

    Anyway that’s the acceleration solved. Also as qwesx pointed out, there is some issue with my Logitech Pro X Superlight. The mouse feels more sluggish when using the wireless dongle compared to it being wired. Must be the wrong polling rate or something?

      The mouse feels more sluggish when using the wireless dongle compared to it being wired.

      You have to set the profile for both wired and wireless mode since they’re different USB IDs. Dealt with the same thing on the same mouse. Same thing with Solaar if you use it to set the polling rate.
