Public bug reported:
First, the obvious: the mouse experience out of the box (at least on
ubuntu 17.04) is bad. I thought this was because Wayland is slightly
slower on animations + mouse movement but although this is happening for
some reason (memory leak, whatever) it's mostly because the setting to
set the mouse 'Acceleration Profile' to 'adaptive' is hidden in the
gnome-tweak tool and set to default 'linear'. I highly suspect that this
setting was on by default on X11 synaptics, because my mouse experience
became equal after i turned it to adaptive when it was inferior before.
This is probably the cause of many of the mouse complaints on the ubuntu
upgrade.
Another problem. Previously, on Xorg and synaptics i could use the right
border area of my touchpad to simulate a middle mouse button click (that
button doesn't exist on my keypad that has a structure like this:
(imagine # is non-breaking spaces here because i sure can't make them work here)

(i have a acer aspire 5738 if you want to see images on google)
The bottom are the left and right mouse buttons, the right column was
for scrolling (another bug: doesn't actually work on nautilus at the
moment but works on Firefox).
Previously taps on that scroll area could open firefox links, open tabs
in nautilus etc, as per 3rd mouse button. Now that whole area only does
scrolling and i have to try the lottery of trying the 'three finger
tap' on the central are to simulate mouse click (this doesn't work 80%
of the time, and the other 15% is right clicking, that's two fingers.
Even if it works, 3 fingers probably meanwhile moved the cursor when i
lifted or tapped). I'd *really really* like it if i could configure
those areas somehow, either graphically or on a config file.
Meanwhile i'm using ctrl+tap or ctrl+click but that requires two hands.

The bottom are the left and right mouse buttons, the right column was for
scrolling (another bug: doesn't actually work on nautilus at the moment but
works on Firefox).
Previously taps on that scroll area could open firefox links, open tabs
in nautilus etc, as per 3rd mouse button. Now that whole area only does
scrolling and i have to try the lottery of trying the 'three finger
tap' on the central are to simulate mouse click (this doesn't work 80%
of the time, and the other 15% is right clicking, that's two fingers.
Even if it works, 3 fingers probably meanwhile moved the cursor when i
lifted or tapped). I'd *really really* like it if i could configure
those areas somehow, either graphically or on a config file.
Meanwhile i'm using ctrl+tap or ctrl+click but that requires two hands.

** Description changed:
First, the obvious: the mouse experience out of the box (at least on
ubuntu 17.04) is bad. I thought this was because Wayland is slightly
slower on animations + mouse movement but although this is happening for
some reason (memory leak, whatever) it's mostly because the setting to
set the mouse 'Acceleration Profile' to 'adaptive' is hidden in the
gnome-tweak tool. I highly suspect that this setting was on by default
on X11 synaptics, because my mouse experience because equal after i
turned it to adaptive when it was inferior before.
This is probably the cause of many of the mouse complaints on the ubuntu
upgrade.
Another problem. Previously, on Xorg and synaptics i could use the right
border area of my touchpad to simulate a middle mouse button click (that
button doesn't exist on my keypad that has a structure like this:
(imagine # is non-breaking spaces here because i sure can't make them work
here)
