Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xinput

I seem to be unable to slow the mouse 'speed' to a level that feels
comfortable in the recent releases. In past releases of Kubuntu, I was
able to remove variability of pointer movement speed depending on
distance mouse distance travelled by setting threshold to zero, then
adjust the speed using 'accelNum' and 'accelDenom'. This no longer seems
possible, because setting the 'accel' fraction lower than 1.0 seems to
have the same effect as setting it to 1.0.

Using the set-ptr-feedback to set the following:
        accelNum is 5
        accelDenom is 10
        threshold is 0

results in the same movement speed as setting it to:
        accelNum is 10
        accelDenom is 10
        threshold is 0

I understand this may be an unusual way to change mouse speed, as it's
always in the 'accelerated' state, but I am not aware of a way to change
the base mouse speed and turn off acceleration completely. This also
seems to he the only way to set the mouse speed with no acceleration in
the "Mouse - System Settings" GUI menu.

The mouse is identified as:
"Logitech USB Gaming Mouse"     id=8    [XExtensionPointer] 
by xinput.
