Slow mouse speed using Logitech Mouse

Issue/Bug Description: My mouse cursor is much slower with this update. I have the mouse speed in the settings set to the highest value it can be, but my mouse is slower than the previous update and makes it annoying. I use a MX Master 2S by Logitech and my machine is an X1 extreme Thinkpad by Lenovo with a 4K monitor.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Use an MX master 2s and a thinkpad x1 extreme 4k monitor with the mouse speed setting set as high as possible and it will feel a bit sluggish. It was much faster in previous versions.

Expected behavior:

The mouse speed to be faster.

Does this happen with any other mouse that you own?

[PeytonHanel]

I don't own any other mouses. Could try to find another.

I found a temporary solution to this issue. I can get the list of input devices with xinput --list --short and then type xinput --set-prop "MX Master 2S Mouse" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 5 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 2.5 These values are by default, 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1, and they reset to their defaults when my system restarts. This makes the mouse usable again in normal usage, but some applications do have issues with this. Some games (e.g. minecraft) becomes unplayable. Some software (e.g. blender) becomes somewhat annoying when using this solution.

This is only a temporary fix though.

@PeytonHanel Thanks, your solution working for other brand mouse's as well.

@mmstick If I forked pop-os repo to fix this myself, would you know where to begin? Thanks

I am experiencing the same - MX Anywhere 2S mouse

Same issue here after a kernel and/or nvidia drivers update. This does not depend on the mouse type and I have the same issue with the trackpad as well. Computer is a thinkpad extreme x1 with 4K screen. uname -a gives: 5.3.0-22-generic #24+system76~1573660262~18.04~d11b582-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 13 19:5 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

nvidia driver is 440, but setting 410 does not solve the issue. Looks like related to the kernel version, at least in my case.

Above temporary solution with xinput does not work.

my solution :

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-evdev && sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-input-libinput && sudo reboot

[PeytonHanel]

my solution :

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-evdev && sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-input-libinput && sudo reboot

Thank you for this solution. This driver makes my MS Master 2S Mouse more usable since the mouse speed is much quicker now than what it used to be. With this I have my mouse speed turned up all the way and (in Gnome Tweaks) mouse acceleration set to adaptive. Thank you!

This also fixed my mouse speed issue, thank you. I wanted to add that deleting libinput broke my TrackPad, but sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics got it working again (after reboot), and increased the TrackPad speed.
