Disable Mouse Acceleration Logitech G402

I use bspwm and when I try to resize or move frames, they don't act synchronously with the mouse pointer movement. Using a cheap mouse (with probably no acceleration) works as it should. I tried disabling the mouse acceleration of my Logitech G402 but it didn't work. There isn't an option to do this the Windows software provided with the mouse.
Here's the relevant output.

~ $ xinput

I tried setting the variable 268 to -1 but that decreases the speed of the mouse pointer but doesn't disable the acceleration. I tried setting the value of the variables 270, 271, and 272 to -1 but either that gave me an error or didn't have any effect. The Arch Wiki page here works on options like "AccelerationProfile", "AccelerationScheme" and "AccelSpeed" but I don't have (exactly) those options in the output. What should I do?
