the weirdest thing happened to me yesterday: my wireless mouse (“Genius NX-7000 Funk-Maus”, lsusb says: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0458:0185 KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) )
became super-responsive out of the blue.
Using Lubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, 64bit I should be able to use the menu: settings ------> Keyboard and Mouse
(or command “lxinput”) and control the settings for acceleration and sensitivity. But changing the position of the respective sliders has no effect whatsoever.
I turn off the touchpad on my laptop, on every boot. I think I just used the @reboot item of the cron repertoire. But there are different solutions available:
@Akito:
Hi and thank you so much for your suggestions and the links.
I´ll read them through which might take whiile by the look of it.
But good to know there are ways of achieving my goal.

and the locate command yields no hits even in other places.
Never mind. Thanks for the link. I have to read it through and am interested if I can find help in it.
As soon as I come up with a solution I´ll post it here.
after looking through the links you provided (quite some literature I must say )
I found the easiest soultion to tbe that one:
I added the command xinput --set-prop 9 273 -0.5
to autostart.
The command lxsession-default-apps gives me the respective GUI. The tab “Autostart” provides a field where I entered the above command and clicked on “Add”.
That´s it.
Afterwards I logged out and in. And indeed my mouse pointer behaves as it used to and isn´t super-sesitive any more.
I also checked with a command:
