(Get the code!)
Although cursor velocity is something most operating systems get wrong (because of the large variation in peripherals and personal preference), I am suggesting that maximum precision (one kernel event motion unit == one pixel) is probably a good default. I think that's what we have in Mir 0.17 and earlier(?). So I'd like Mir to return to that, which should also solve bug 1522295.
Having a good default would be less important if an easy-to-reach GUI was available for the user to modify the speed. However even in Unity7 we have not achieved that, as the controls are inadequate (often slowest setting is still too fast), and some mice cause the speed setting bar to vanish completely.
