Hi Christopher, I actually sorta solved this by going to xinput and setting the property "device acceleration profile" to 0.

Unfortunately this delay makes it hard not to miss a button at the first try and having to come back because stopping exactly a quarter of a second before the pointer hits the button - involves complex timing; When clicking or tapping on the buttons I don't get any noticable delay. I know that when using the OS from M$ you can activate a low-pass filter for movements that is called "trägheitsbewegung" in the german version of that OS. Is there a way to do the same on Ubuntu?
