Adjust Mouse Sensitivity

The Mouse Sensitivity option is not showing up in Ubuntu 16.04 and using the Terminal Command "xset mouse num num" command has to be done at every log on.  I'm using a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard.  I've read that if you have a wired mouse the option does show.


There is another way to set the mouse sensitivity with a GUI program, xserver xorg input synaptics. To install it run the following command in a Terminal window.

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Once the program installs you can find it by searching your programs for KEYBOARD AND MOUSE.  Running it bring up the following with the needed options.



This will allow you to adjust your sensitivity and acceleration along with some keyboard functions.
