A need for a new and more consistent Mouse Acceleration profile. (Inspired by Windows Operating System)
Summary
After some years of libinput
and evdev
experience, I have came up with a conclusion that
the pointer acceleration profiles: Flat
and Adaptive
might not be enough for an average user of Linux systems.
Especially if the user is coming from one of the most popular desktop operating systems Windows.
The mouse behaviour might not appear too different, but it definitely have at a very least a subconcious resistance.
So to ease this resistance, I believe and I think that an implementation of a new Mouse Acceleration profile is required.
This Mouse Acceleration profile should be loosely based on Enhance Pointer Precision feature found in Windows Mouse Properties.
Some people believe this is a personal preference , but it's no longer a personal preference,
once it affects millions of people with millions of pointer devices.
At the very least this would allow the possibility of a more standard behaviour in computer mouses.
Feature details
The new Mouse Acceleration profile should allow to feel the average Windows Mouse user at home.
The suggestive name for this new mouse acceleration profile: ballistic
Affected Hardware
Mouse pointer devices, of the Windows operating system users.
Implementation in Other Systems
Windows Operating System
Enhance Pointer Precision feature found in Windows Mouse Properties.
I'm not sure how much of a help this might be, but I've found:
