Mouse settings are missing for wireless mice in Ubuntu 13.04

[Lisa Schmidt]

When I have a wireless mouse attached, the mouse settings ("Pointer Speed") do not show up in the "Mouse & Touchpad" settings, only those for Touchpad. Only when I have a corded mouse attached, the Pointer Speed setting shows up. Furthermore, the "Acceleration" setting is always completely missing, for both the Touchpad and the Mouse setting. I tested this with different mice, corded and cordless. The Pointer Speed setting for wireless mice is always missing. I also tested this with a Live system and the problem is there as well.

Some users of Ubuntuforums.org report they have this issue also with corded mice.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I had the same problem with a corded Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500. The setting appears when I plug in a corded Logitech TrackMan Wheel mouse.

I have the same problem. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 64bit and using a Logitech S 510 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse.

I also have this issue. Using ubuntu 13.04, was fine in previous releases. I have a microsoft explorer mini mouse.

Having the same problem with Logitech corded mouse. From what I understand from other sources, the mouse sensitivity and mouse acceleration values have been merged. Since when did Linux start taking away options instead of giving options? Having no ability to disable mouse acceleration is a complete dealbreaker for an otherwise nice and snappy distro.

Same problem in ubuntu 13.04 with a microsoft wireless 1000 mouse. Did not have this in another computer running 12.04 with the same mouse

Same problem in Ubuntu 13.04 with an ASUS R.O.G. corded mouse.

I have an old OEM Hewlet-Packard wireless mouse that also does not offer sensitivity or acceleration sliders.

Also affects me in Ubuntu 13.10 with a wired USB mouse. According to dmesg, it's a "Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500".
