For better mouse acceleration Go to K, Computer, System Settings,
Input Devices, Mouse, Advanced. There you can set a really fast
pointer acceleration, for example 20x and a pointer threshold of
2 pixels.
That acceleration should be OK at medium distances but too fast for larger distances. Here is the trick to get better acceleration:

xinput --set-prop "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.2
